THE TRUTH ABOUT WINSTON CHURCHILL AND UFOS

BY TOBY ARGUELLO 

Winston Churchill was one of the most important politicians of the 20th century and remains a polarizing figure to this day. While his achievements as a statesman are well-documented, his serious attitude toward UFOs — including a giant coverup of a sighting — is less known by the public (via BBC). The UK government considered UFOs a legitimate threat throughout the 1950s, with intelligence agencies collecting weekly reports of UFO sightings, some of which Churchill became involved in.

Officials even called a wartime meeting with Churchill about a UFO sighting reported by Royal Air Force pilots. Even though UFO strictly refers to unidentified flying objects, and it was entirely plausible that the sighting was simply an unrecognized enemy aircraft, Churchill was concerned about a mass panic. In fact, he was so concerned about the repercussions if this UFO sighting was made public that he ordered the incident to be kept a secret for at least 50 years. This sighting, along with hundreds of others made in the UK over the decades since, was revealed in a 5,000-page report declassified to the public back in 2010.

SOMETHING CHURCHILL FEARED MORE THAN PUBLIC PANIC

It wasn't just mass panic that was on the Prime Minister's mind when covering up the UFO sighting. According to BBC, Winston Churchill was also a believer in life out among the stars, as evidenced by an unpublished essay written during the beginning of World War II and updated in the 1950s. The essay was handed to a museum in the '80s but was forgotten about until its rediscovery in 2017.

The 11-page essay saw Churchill quote famous astronomers like Copernicus as he put forth his arguments for extraterrestrial life. The vast size and scope of the universe and presence of liquid water on other planets made the chances that Earth is the only planet to support life slim, said the Prime Minister. Churchill's respect for the sciences was well-known, being the first PM to appoint a scientific advisor, and he even had some theories that were later proven true, like the existence of planets orbiting other stars, or humans eventually traveling to the Moon. It's not surprising that he would later consider the presence of UFOs a serious threat — not just the possibility that they're enemy aircraft, but invaders from the stars.

Last week, former USAF captain and nuclear missile crew commander Robert Salas announced his fundraiser had reached its goal and he was now able to schedule a press conference with three other former Air Force officers to reveal what has been long covered up – information about UFOs interfering with U.S. nuclear missile sites. The news conference was held on October 19th and it was worth the wait.

“I was part of a US Airforce cover-up. It was shaped like a flying saucer and was firing a beam of light at our warhead.”

Salas, Robert Jamison, a former USAF captain and nuclear missile targeting officer, and David Schindele, a former USAF captain and nuclear missile crew commander, attended the National Press Club conference in person, but it was the live video testimony of Robert Jacobs, a former USAF lieutenant and missile test photographic officer, that stole the show. (A video of the entire conference can be seen here.)

In 1964, Jacobs led a team making high-resolution films of missile launches because so many of them were blowing up. On September 14, 1964, he recorded footage of an 8,000 mph missile fitted with a radar chaff dispenser to hide it from Soviet radar. He turned in the film and was surprised to be called to meet with his superior about it. What was recorded around the rocket shocked him.

What did the actual film show?

“We might see the underside three levels of that rocket filling the body from 160 miles away. It was superb, the readability. As I watched, abruptly, in the identical route these things was flying, at about 8,000 miles an hour, an object got here into the body, shot a beam of sunshine on the warhead. It flew as much as the highest, shot one other beam of sunshine on the warhead, flew across the route it was flying, shot one other beam of sunshine on the warhead. It flew all the way down to shoot one other beam of sunshine on the warhead after which flew out the identical means it got here in.”

Jacobs says he blurted out that it was a UFO and asked if he was being pranked. He was ordered to never speak of the film or the incident again by his commanding officer in front of two men in grey suits he believed were CIA. To emphasize the seriousness of the order, Jacobs says the commander told him:

“Lieutenant if you were ever tortured in the future, somebody has you up against the wall and they’re frying your privates with fire, you can tell them this, it was laser tracking.”

Jacobs then points out that laser tracking was not known to exist in 1964. He says he kept quiet for years, even though he believed he witnessed an encounter with an alien flying saucer. Eventually, he sold his story to the National Enquirer, which didn’t help his credibility. That’s why he, Salas and the other officers hope to pressure the Pentagon to do the same thing it did after the Tic Tac UFO revelations – come clean on what it knows and doesn’t know. Jacobs assumes the footage still exists (a reconstruction of it can be seen here) and says he’s tired of being quiet and frustrated by the cover-ups, but hopes we don’t get more of the same.

Are they waiting and watching?

“Have we been ignored? For God sakes, we’ve been shut up and silenced. We’ve been ridiculed; we’ve had our lives disrupted. This is more than just being ignored. We’ve been treated like imbeciles.”

Robert Salas, who was at the nuclear missile site in Montana in 1967 when 10 missiles were inexplicably deactivated after UFOs were spotted, agrees. He said this in an interview:

“There is a worldwide, let’s say, cabal that is exchanging information in secret. The intelligence community may be involved in a world cover-up. There are very deeply held secrets. The Roswell case in 1947 which offers plain evidence of two crashes in New Mexico. In 1947 our government knew they were dealing with extraterrestrial entities.”

A worldwide cabal? Roswell? Let’s not swim too deeply in the conspiracy pool just yet. For now, let’s hope the alleged film taken by now Dr. Robert Jacobs is searched for and, if found, revealed to the public and analyzed by experts. Anything less would be treating these four former officers “like imbeciles.”

Russische actrice na filmopnames in de ruimte: “We moeten opnieuw leren lopen”

De Russische filmcrew die als eerste een ruimtefilm ook echt in de ruimte opnam is weer teruggekeerd van het ruimtestation ISS. Nu ze intussen ook opnieuw een paar dagen met beide voetjes op de grond hebben gestaan, delen ze hun ervaringen met de Russische pers.

Alle rekwisieten vlogen in het rond en filmen zonder zwaartekracht was niet simpel, maar het is ze gelukt. Het was een uitdaging om alles in twaalf dagen te filmen, maar met klittenband als hun grootste vriend hebben ze de nodige beelden voor de film ‘Vizov’ (De Uitdaging) kunnen schieten. De film gaat over een chirurg die naar het ISS afreist om ter plekke een astronaut te opereren.

  Eerste film(opnames) in de ruimte ingeblikt: Russische actrice veilig geland op aarde

“Verrassend comfortabel”

Actrice Joelia Peresild (37) en regisseur Klim Shipenko (38) landden zondag weer veilig op de aardkorst na twaalf dagen in het ISS verbleven te hebben. Hiermee zijn ze de eerste filmcrew ooit die naar de ruimte is gereisd om een film op te nemen, tot frustratie van de Verenigde Staten die met acteur Tom Cruise deze mijlpaal wilden zetten. Ze hebben 30 uur aan filmmateriaal bij, waarvan 25 tot 35 minuten in ‘Vizov’ zal te zien zijn.

Peresild vertelt nu dat ze het verblijf op het ISS verrassend comfortabel vond. De temperatuur was aangenaam, en ze kon er prima slapen. “Het is fantastisch voor vrouwen daar. Je hebt er namelijk nooit last van ‘bedhaar’. Je ziet er altijd perfect uit.” Ze baalt achteraf wel dat ze niet veel heeft kunnen genieten van de bijzondere uitzichten door het strakke schema waar ze zich aan moesten houden. “We realiseerden ons een dag voordat we weer terug moesten dat we niet genoeg de tijd hadden genomen om uit de ramen te kijken.” 

Op 7 oktober had de filmcrew contact met de Russische media over hun avontuur aan boord van het ISS. In beeld zijn actrice Joelia Peresild, regisseur Klim Shipenko en de Russische astronaut Anton Shkaplerov.  © AP

Talent

Ze kregen veel hulp van de ‘echte’ astronauten van het ISS, die ook in de film te zien zullen zijn en bijdroegen met “organische dialogen”. “Ze kwamen erachter dat ze best talent hebben voor acteren”, lacht Shipenko. “Ik heb ze het licht laten zien.” En de crew was blijkbaar ook handig voor werkjes achter de schermen. Zo hielden ze soms de voeten van Shipenko tijdens het filmen even vast, zodat hij niet tegen vanalles aan zou botsen.

Filmische ontdekking

De regisseur zegt dat de ervaring op het ISS hem nieuwe manieren van film maken heeft geleerd. “Sommige scènes die ik me op een bepaalde manier op aarde had voorgesteld, leverden daar een totaal ander resultaat op. Mensen kunnen elkaar recht in het gezicht kijken in de ruimte, maar met de ene persoon die dan met het hoofd omhoog kijkt en de andere die horizontaal erboven hangt bijvoorbeeld. De camera kan zich ook op heel andere plekken bevinden. Dat transformeert je bewustzijn volledig. Voor mij was het een filmische ontdekking.”

Naar de maan?

Een sequel op de maan dan misschien? “Wij zijn er klaar voor”, klinkt het enthousiast bij Shipenko. “Wij geloven dat films over de ruimte ook echt in de ruimte gefilmd moeten worden. Waarom niet? Waarom gewoon in een studio? Als het over de maan gaat, laten we dan naar de maan gaan. Als het Mars is, laten we dan naar Mars gaan!”

Acclimatiseren

Peresild en Shipenko moeten nu vooral weer even acclimatiseren aan het leven op de aardbol, vertellen ze. Vooral met de zwaartekracht hebben ze nog moeite. “We moeten opnieuw leren lopen”, aldus Peresild.

Het is de zoveelste in het rijtje ‘eerste keren’ voor de Russen in de zogenaamde space race met Amerika. Zo lanceerden ze de eerste satelliet Sputnik, en stuurden ze het eerste dier (de hond Laika), de eerste man (Gagarin), en de eerste vrouw (Tereshkova) de ruimte in.

More than 1,600 fast radio bursts over a 47-day span have been detected coming from a galaxy 3 billion-light years away

• Researchers discovered more than 1,600 Fast Radio Bursts from FRB 121102 over a span of 47 days, more than all the recorded FRBs combined

• The 1,652 FRBs were released between August 29 and October 29, 2019

•  Fast Radio Bursts emit very short-duration bright radio pulses from deep space 

• The first burst was detected in 2007 and their origins are still unknown

By CHRIS CIACCIA FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

An international group of researchers have discovered that more than 1,600 Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) were released from FRB 121102 over a span of 47 days in 2019, more than all the recorded brief flashes of energy combined.

The experts, led by those at National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered 1,652 FRBs were released between August 29 and October 29, 2019.

This independent group of bursts were detected over a span of 59.5 hours.

The highest cadence during the burst saw a peak of 122 FRBs over the span of one hour, the highest rate of any FRB observed so far.

Researchers discovered more than 1,600 fast radio bursts from FRB 121102 over a span of 47 days, more than all the recorded FRBs combined

The 1,652 FRBs were released between August 29 and October 29, 2019

Fast Radio Bursts emits very short-duration bright radio pulses from deep space. FRB 121102 emanates from a dwarf galaxy 3 billion light-years from Earth

FRBs are very short but very intense pulses of radio waves that can last as little as one-thousandth of a second, while producing as much energy as the sun does in one year.

'The total energy of this burst set already adds up to 3.8% of what is available from a magnetar and no periodicity was found between 1 ms and 1000 s, both of which severely constrains the possibility that FRB 121102 comes from an isolated compact object,' said one of the study's co-authors, Dr Peng Wang, in a statement. 

The researchers' discovery was made using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST).  

They were first discovered in 2007, but their origins remain unknown to astronomers.

FRB 121102, which was discovered in 2012, is one of the few FRBs known to have a repeating signal.

In August 2020, astronomers confirmed that it repeats on a 157-day cycle.  

Although past astronomers have determined that FRB 121102 has a 157-day schedule, it has described as 'seasonal' 

FRB 121102 is believed to be hosted in a dwarf spiral galaxy, roughly 3 billion light-years from Earth.

The origin of FRBs are unknown and though intelligent life has been posited as a potential explanation, more likely is something in nature, perhaps a rotating neutron star, black hole or even a cosmic string left over from the Big Bang. 

Although past astronomers have determined that FRB 121102 has a 157-day schedule, it has described as 'seasonal.' 

Only a smaller number of FRBs repeat, with most of them having unpredictable appearances.

The first FRB that was discovered to repeat is known as FRB 180916.J10158+56, which has a 16-day cycle. 

FRBs – described as 'brief and mysterious beacons' – have been spotted in various and distant parts of the universe, as well as in our own galaxy.

The study was published on Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature. 

In June, astronomers announced that the CHIME radio discovered more than 500 FRBs in its first year of operation, which at the time, quadrupled the number discovered.   

FRBs were initially discovered in 2007, but it's unclear where they originate from or what causes them. 

FAST RADIO BURSTS ARE BRIEF RADIO EMISSIONS FROM SPACE WHOSE ORIGIN IS UNKNOWN

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are radio emissions that appear temporarily and randomly, making them not only hard to find, but also hard to study.

The mystery stems from the fact it is not known what could produce such a short and sharp burst.

This has led some to speculate they could be anything from stars colliding to artificially created messages.

Scientists searching for fast radio bursts (FRBs) that some believe may be signals sent from aliens may be happening every second. The blue points in this artist's impression of the filamentary structure of galaxies are signals from FRBs

The first FRB was spotted, or rather 'heard' by radio telescopes, back in 2001 but wasn't discovered until 2007 when scientists were analysing archival data.

But it was so temporary and seemingly random that it took years for astronomers to agree it wasn't a glitch in one of the telescope's instruments. 

Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics point out that FRBs can be used to study the structure and evolution of the universe whether or not their origin is fully understood.

A large population of faraway FRBs could act as probes of material across gigantic distances. 

This intervening material blurs the signal from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the left over radiation from the Big Bang. 

A careful study of this intervening material should give an improved understanding of basic cosmic constituents, such as the relative amounts of ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy, which affect how rapidly the universe is expanding.

FRBs can also be used to trace what broke down the 'fog' of hydrogen atoms that pervaded the early universe into free electrons and protons, when temperatures cooled down after the Big Bang.

Something Really Wants our Attention. One Object Released 1,652 Fast Radio Bursts in 47 Days

The energetic phenomena known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are one of the greatest cosmic mysteries today. These mysterious flashes of light are visible in the radio wave part of the spectrum and usually last only a few milliseconds before fading away forever. Since the first FRB was observed in 2007, astronomers have looked forward to the day when instruments of sufficient sensitivity would be able to detect them regularly.

That day has arrived with the completion of the 500-Meter FAST Radio Telescope (aka. Tianyan, “Eye of Heaven”). Since it commenced operations, this observatory has vastly expanded the number of detected FRBs. In fact, according to research led by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAO/CAS), the observatory detected a total of 1,652 independent bursts from a single source in 47 days.

The research, which recently appeared in the journal Science, was conducted by researchers from the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey (CRAFTS) project. CRAFTS includes researchers from the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science, the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and multiple universities in China, Australia, and the U.S.

To break this phenomenon down, FBRs are highly energetic, producing a year’s worth of Solar output in the space of milliseconds. In rare cases, astronomers have found bursts that were repeating in nature, which has allowed them to conduct follow-up studies. While the origin of these bursts is still unknown, possible explanations range from hyper-magnetized neutron stars and black holes to cosmic strings left over from the Big Bang and even alien transmissions!

This exotic explanation is especially appealing where repeating FRBs are concerned, as repetition lends itself to artificial explanations. This includes the signal designated FRB 121102, which was originally detected in 2012 and is the first known repeater and the first well-localized FRB. Not only has this signal been traced to a dwarf galaxy 3 billion light-years away, but it is repeatedly bursting at pretty regular intervals.

Previous observations determined that it repeats on a 157-day cycle that consists of a 67-day inactive phase, followed by a 90-day period where it would repeatedly emit intense radio flares. In recent years, Pei Wang and the many institutions participating in the FAST telescope project have monitored FRB 121102’s and recorded several repeating bursts – one that consisted of 20 pulses in one day and another where 12 bursts were observed in two hours.

From these, Wang and his colleagues were able to refine estimates of FRB 121102’s cycle, which they now place at 156.1 days. But when they examined the backend data obtained by FAST during its commissioning phase, they noticed that FRB 121102 experienced a truly energetic period of activity. During the three months, running from Aug. 29^th to Oct. 29^th, 2019, FAST detected no less than 1,652 independent bursts in 59.5 hours spanning 47 days.

While the rate of radio pulses varied throughout this time, a record 122 bursts occurred during the peak hour – the highest event rate ever observed from an FRB. Based on the detected bursts, the researchers determined that they have a peak energy equivalence of 480 Nonillion (4.8 × 10³⁷) ergs at 1.25 GHz, below which the detection of bursts is suppressed. As Dr. Wang said in a CAS Newsroom release:

“The total energy of this burst set already adds up to 3.8% of what is available from a magnetar and no periodicity was found between 1 ms and 1000 s, both of which severely constrains the possibility that FRB 121102 comes from an isolated compact object.”

They also determined that bursts’ energy distribution is bimodal in nature, meaning that they are distributed one of two ways, depending on the energy level. In other words, they found that weaker FRB pulses are more random while strong ones occur with greater consistency. Moreover, these latest results also allowed the team to investigate the range of theoretical causes and narrow them down.

For one, the lack of periodicity (or quasi-periodicity) of this repeating FRB challenges the notion that it results from a single rotating compact object (aka. a black hole or neutron star). Second, the high burst rate disfavors high-energy or contrived mechanisms, which casts doubt on theories of alien agency. But most of all, they found that the high-cadence of these bursts (where many happen in the course of hour-long spans) will facilitate future statistical studies.

Basically, they anticipate that astronomers will be able to conduct investigations into the periodic nature of these bursts, with searches lasting between 1 millisecond and 1000 seconds. What’s more, they anticipate that the FAST telescope will play a vital role. “As the world’s largest antenna, FAST’s sensitivity proves to be conducive to revealing intricacies of cosmic transients, including FRBs,” said Prof. Li.

In more recent news, the CRAFTS project has reported the discovery of six new FRBs, including a repeater that is similar to FRB 121102. These and other radio sources are cataloged on the CRAFTS website.

Revelation of Vatican’s Secret Archives: UFOs, Ancient Aliens, Time Travel, Angels & Demons! Zohar 

Humanity’s evolution sometimes surprises us by providing rare unique individuals such as a Russian man called Professor Genrikh Mavrikiyevich Ludvig. Known for his vast knowledge and expertise on ancient cultures, architecture and languages, he was also a brilliant Engineer and researcher often referred to as a “modern Leonardo da Vinci”. Rumor has it that Professor Ludvig was also one of the “rare few” that had access to the Vatican secret archives and by doing so found mind blowing secret information.

Dr. Jennifer West, Research Associate at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, is making a scientific case that two bright structures that are seen on opposite sides of the sky – previously considered to be separate – are actually connected and are made of rope-like filaments. This connection forms what looks like a tunnel around our solar system. 

“If we were to look up in the sky,” explains West, “we would see this tunnel-like structure in just about every direction we looked – that is, if we had eyes that could see radio light.” 

Called “the North Polar Spur” and “the Fan Region,” we’ve known about these two structures for a long time. “Since the 60s,” West says. But most scientific explanations have focused on them individually. West and her colleagues believe they are the first astronomers to connect them as a unit.

UFO changing speed and direction over Redmond, Washington 19-Oct-2021

This strange UFO activity was filmed in the sky above Redmond, Washington on 19th October 2021.

Witness report: 

I was looking up at the evening sky and saw what I thought was a satellite moving near the first visible planet of the evening (I am unsure which planet). There was light, intermittent cloud cover as the moon was lower in the sky and obscured by the clouds, however its light was visible. I noticed the object dim and then brighten very rapidly and change direction erratically. Its speed kept changing as it moved near the visible sky around the stationary planet nearest the tree.

There are a number of folks around the world who believe UAPs/UFOs are seen around nuclear plants and nuclear missile site – sometimes allegedly shutting them down – are extraterrestrials protecting humans from nuking themselves into oblivion. If that’s the case, what might these ETs think of a new study which demonstrates the feasibility of hitting a suddenly-appearing Near Earth Object hurdling towards the planet with a nuclear-tipped device that would blow it to bits? Do ETs follow the ‘lesser of two evils’ logic?

Addressing the “What could possibly go wrong?” question right up front, the authors of “Late-time small body disruptions for planetary defense” published in Acta Astronautica admit that hundreds of small space rocks created by nuking one big one could be a worse case scenario. In fact, NASA’s most recent biennial asteroid impact simulation took on an NEO that was discovered to late to deflect and the simulation addressed disaster response instead. As Gizmodo points out, movies have addressed this problem for years – it’s time NASA, other space agencies and militaries did too. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory agreed.

Too late to nuke?

“In this work we present a new simulation suite built on N-body gravitational methods that solves fragment orbits in the full gravitational system without recourse to more approximate methods. We assess the accuracy of our simulations and the simplifying assumptions we adopt to make the system tractable, and then discuss in more detail several specific, plausible planetary defense scenarios based on real close encounters.”

Led by physicist Patrick King, then a PhD student at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the team ran multiple simulations of late-term asteroids approaching Earth on five distinct orbits being destroyed by a nuclear device. In particular, they simulated what would happen to the fragments created as a result of the explosion. The device was a one megaton bomb, the asteroid was a 328-foot-long (100-meter) space rock, and the detonation was near its surface. The scientists ran the simulation multiple times, with asteroids traveling along five distinct orbits and at varying distances away from Earth. The results were encouraging, even when the asteroid was just a month away from impact.

“Simply stated, for a 100-meter object that’s projected to hit Earth, if we employ a robust nuclear disruption technique by at least one month before impact, we can prevent 99% or more of the impacting mass from hitting the Earth.”

That’s a relief to everyone except those hit by the 1% fragments, and King admits tradeoffs must be painfully evaluated in real life. Mass extinction or thousands dead but Earth saved? To ease the pain, King says nuking an asteroid would “significantly reduce the scale of the disaster if we disrupt the object by as little as two weeks before impact.” Gizmodo states that we don’t have this capability yet. Is that true? This statement was made as it was revealed China tested what appeared to be hypersonic missile that traveled around the world to attack its target — China states it was just a spaceship test.

What would overlord ETs think? Would they be impressed at humanity making a tough decision to sacrifice a few to save many? Would they be upset that the solution was nuclear? Would they try to stop it?

Would you want to be the one pushing the button?

The movies make it seem so easy.

One of the more commonly accepted theories among space scientists speculating on how the Earth’s moon was formed is that a young planet about the size of Mars – now called Theia — collided with our young planet, breaking itself  into two pieces with one hurling into space to become our satellite while the rest melded into Earth. That’s a pretty clean collision-and-result for two space bodies of that size, and a new study proposes that the birth of the Moon was more like a space demolition derby, with Theia bouncing off of Earth and taking a damaged trip around the solar system racetrack before coming back for a second knockout collision that created the Moon … and may have been part of the reason why Earth has a Moon and Venus doesn’t.

“In the canonical model of Moon formation, a Mars-sized protoplanet “Theia” collides with proto-Earth at close to their mutual escape velocity vesc and a common impact angle ∼45°. The “graze-and-merge” collision strands a fraction of Theia’s mantle into orbit, while Earth accretes most of Theia and its momentum. Simulations show that this produces a hot, high angular momentum, silicate-dominated protolunar system, in substantial agreement with lunar geology, geochemistry, and dynamics.”

The study, published in The Planetary Science Journal, is technical and math-laden. Fortunately, Sky and Telescope brings it down a few pay grades. The accepted Theia/Earth collision model worked well – until astronauts brought back Moon rocks showing that the Moon’s composition is much more like Earth than a foreign planet. Creating other models by adjusting Theia’s impact speed either destroyed both planets or didn’t create enough velocity to do both the merge and kick-out. Erik Asphaug, lead author and planetary science professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at University of Arizona, come up with a model that was more like a hit-and-run accident – Theia hit Earth at a high speed, glanced off and went back out at a lower speed. The second time it came around – making this more like a hit-and-run-and-come-back-to-check-the-damage – Theia was traveling slow enough to knock out the chunk that became the Moon and then meld into Earth.

“I first thought maybe there was a mistake.”

Asphaug’s model also showed Earth passing other hit-and-run planetoids and space rocks to Venus, which absorbed then rather than passing them to the next in line. That explains why Venus’ composition resembles that of outer solar system material. It also may explain why Venus has no Moon — either it never got hit by another planet or the amount of impacts it received from both space and Earth’s deflections obliterated it.

Venus

“Getting samples from Venus is the key to answering all these questions.”

This is all still theoretical and Asphaug admits they can only be resolved with a trip to Venus to gather rocks and return them to Earth.

Wouldn’t that be a more beneficial use of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin than sending actors into near space?

Pulsating Cube Shaped UFO Sighted On Glenstone Ave In Springfield, Missouri. October 18, 2021

The witness stated the following

"I was on my way home driving north on Glenstone Ave in Springfield, Missouri at about 5pm on 10/18/21. I saw this thing kinda heading southwest from the northeast part of town. Watched it for a minute and thought it was a helicopter.

As it got closer I thought it was a balloon or trash blowing around. As I got right up on it I could clearly see it was a cube spinning or wobbling on an axis. To me it kinda looked like it had auras coming off the bottom and middle if it but it could have just been the son reflecting off of it. It kinda hovered over the downtown area and that was when I was able to park my work vehicle in the turn lane and get my phone out to video it. I was tired from a long day and it was rush hour traffic so I didn't linger very long. After I stopped recording I was able to watch if for about a minute longer and to flew north west towards the Willard, Missouri area.. I figured this thing was so noticeable that surely others would get videos as well. I called my parents right after because they live in the area it went over.

They said they didn't see anything but that they heard a loud noise at the time I was seeing this. I've sent this to all the local news channels and so far nothing has been seen or shown. There is no way I'm the only way I saw this. It seemed to be only a few hundred feet off the ground. I was so shocked that it was this clear in broad daylight......"

On October 15, 2021 the LASCO C2 satellite captured a series of strange lights near the sun. 

The lights are exactly opposite and parallel to each other and seems to be connected, forming a triangular shape. 

Since it seems impossible that this phenomenon is just a natural or rare occurrence in space, we assume that this partially cloaked triangular object is some kind of advanced technology used by an intelligent race.

Triangle UFO over Mount Sterling, Kentucky 7-Oct-2021

This triangular shaped object was seen and recorded in the night sky above Mount Sterling, KY on 7th October 2021

Witness report: 

This object/objects I filmed almost a week after a previous sighting of two lights in the sky. It had no sound, but in the film you will hear the sound of a jet that was flying behind me. For a moment I thought the sound was from the object (as you hear my say in the video) but then I realized the jet behind me and that I always hear the sound before seeing the plane. So, the object I was filming itself had no sound. I see jets and other airplanes flying overhead all the time (I have them on film as well for comparison), including directly overhead, and none look like this did. The lights never blinked, flashed or etc but did seem to change size. As you will see.

That could have been a optical illusion though due to the object/objects flying closer than farther away. It was hard to tell if they were three separate objects flying together or 1 object with 3 lights. I tried lightening one of the still shots on my personal computer & sharpen its details, and a triangular body outline can sort of be seen. Of course, I’m no professional but it might be worth seeing if a professional could clear up the video at all.
