Atlantis 60,000 Years Ago: A War Between Poseidon People & The Sons of Belial History

Atlantis 60,000 Years Ago: A War Between Poseidon People & The Sons of Belial

Millennia ago, Lemuria and Atlantis were wiped from our planet, but the wisdom of these civilizations live on with us today. In this interview, Regina Meredith and Tom T. Moore discuss their experiences of past lives in Atlantis and Lemuria and how tapping into the wisdom of those times directly connects to humanity’s work in the present and future.

As we each follow the paths of our soul contracts, we have the potential to end all conflict in the world, moving humanity to a higher vibration in service of the greater good.

Into the Eye of the Storm: NASA's Parker probe flying through the Sun’s Corona

Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018 to explore the mysteries of the Sun by traveling closer to it than any spacecraft before. Three years after launch and decades after first conception, Parker has finally arrived. 

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. 

As Parker Solar Probe passed through the Sun's corona, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward and downward in the first video compiled from the spacecraft's WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe) instrument. 

Such a view is only possible because the spacecraft flew above and below the streamers inside the corona. Until now, streamers have only been seen from afar. They are visible from Earth during total solar eclipses.

Stanford Professor Garry Nolanhas been testing the brains of people who say they’ve experienced a UFO encounter as well as he analysis anomalous materials from UFO crashes. 

Did the people who claimed that they'd had an encounter, especially the pilots, describe any perceivable decrease in neurological capacity? 

Of the 100 or so patients that we looked at, about a quarter of them died from their injuries. The majority of these patients had symptomology that's basically identical to what's now called Havana syndrome. 

But Dr. Nolan has also spent the past decade analyzing anomalous materials From UFO crashes 

One of the materials from the so called Ubatuba event, a UFO event in Brazil, has extraordinarily altered isotope ratios of magnesium. 

What that means is that if you find a metal where the isotope ratios are changed far beyond what is normally found in nature, then that material has likely been engineered, the material is downstream of a process that caused them to be altered. Someone did it. The questions are who… and why? 

Speaking to Vice’s Motherboard, Nolan opened up about his work and revealed what sparked his interest in UAP. Learn more at: Vice Motherboard

Mystery of the massive explosion 200 million light years away: Strange flash 100 times brighter than a supernova that is growing at an incredible rate baffles scientists

• The blast appeared in a distant galaxy but scientists are unsure what triggered it 

• They theorise the flash is a 9,000°C (16,000°F) cloud of high-energy particles 

• It is bursting outwards at an incredible speed of 12,000 miles per second

• One researcher said 'there hasn't really been another object like this' 

By HARRY PETTIT FOR MAILONLINE 

A massive explosion spotted 200 million light years from Earth has baffled astronomers.

The strange spot, nicknamed 'the cow', is up to 100 times brighter than a supernova and is growing at an incredible rate.

Scientists say the flash is a 9,000°C (16,000°F) cloud of high-energy particles bursting outwards at 12,000 miles (20,000km) per second, but are still unsure what triggered the brilliant blast.

One researcher said 'there hasn't really been another object like this.'

A massive explosion spotted 200 light years from Earth has baffled astronomers. The strange spot, nicknamed the cow, is 100 times brighter than a supernova and is growing at an incredible rate, but scientists have no idea what triggered it

The explosion was captured on by the asteroid-tracking ATLAS telescopes at the Keck Observatory, which sits atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii.

Astronomers noted the flash was unusually luminous - between 10 and 100 times brighter than the average supernova - but it was the speed of its appearance that really caught the eye of space experts.

Most celestial explosions take weeks to reach peak brightness, but the distant flash had grown to a dramatic size in just two days.

'It really just appeared out of nowhere,' Dr Kate Maguire, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast who is part of the ATLAS team, told New Scientist.

'There are other objects that have been discovered that are as fast, but the fastness and the brightness, that's quite unusual.

'There hasn't really been another object like this.'

Following the initial observation, scientists reported the flash to the star-gazing website Astronomer's Telegram, sparking a worldwide investigation into the spot.

It was nicknamed the cow after the site automatically categorised it as AT2018cow based on when it was added to the database.

Teams from around the world trained at least 18 telescopes on the flash in a response that constituted the largest number of reports for any single object on Astronomer's Telegram, according to the site's Editor-in-Chief.

The explosion was so bright it initially appeared to originate from our own galaxy, but observations by a group of Chinese scientists showed the spot was almost 200 million light years away - meaning it likely appeared in another nebula.

SUPERNOVAE OCCUR WHEN A GIANT STAR EXPLODES

A supernova occurs when a star explodes, shooting debris and particles into space.

A supernova burns for only a short period of time, but it can tell scientists a lot about how the universe began.

One kind of supernova has shown scientists that we live in an expanding universe, one that is growing at an ever increasing rate.

Scientists have also determined that supernovas play a key role in distributing elements throughout the universe.

In 1987, astronomers spotted a ‘titanic supernova’ in a nearby galaxy blazing with the power of over 100 million suns

(pictured)

There are two known types of supernova.

The first type occurs in binary star systems when one of the two stars, a carbon-oxygen white dwarf, steals matter from its companion star.

Eventually, the white dwarf accumulates too much matter, causing the star to explode, resulting in a supernova.

The second type of supernova occurs at the end of a single star's lifetime.

As the star runs out of nuclear fuel, some of its mass flows into its core.

Eventually, the core is so heavy it can't stand its own gravitational force and the core collapses, resulting in another giant explosion. 

Many elements found on Earth are made in the core of stars and these elements travel on to form new stars, planets and everything else in the universe.

Readings from other groups suggested the flash was an explosion of high-energy particles travelling outwards at 12,000 miles (20,000km) per second.

The surface temperature of this cloud could be as high as 9,000°C (16,000°F), according to the observations.

The results left scientists baffled as to the origins of the strange explosion, with some suggesting it could be a special type of supernova called a type 1c.

'We're not sure yet what it is, but the normal powering mechanism for a supernova is radioactive decay of nickel, and this event is too bright and too fast for that,' Dr Maguire said.

Follow-up observations are ongoing and scientists said they should know more about the object over the next day or two.

Having discussed the matter of the Bigfoot-UFO issue – and of the Loch Ness-UFO angle, too – I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the data that suggests a UFO connection to another monster: the creepy Dog-Man. Yes, really! Before I get to the strange link, however, here’s some background on the matter the beast. Certainly, wolf-like, upright creatures have been described for centuries. I am , of course, talking about werewolves. However, the relatively recent phenomenon of the Dog-Man takes things to another, much more intriguing, angle. Linda Godfrey is the key figure in this controversy and she has written a number of books on the phenomenon. But, there’s more than that. There’s one particular Dog-Man-themed story that needs to be aired, as it has an alien angle to it. Believe it or not. While there are numerous theories for what the Dogmen are (demonic entities, shape-shifters, a rare/unique kind of wolf; the list goes on) the strangest of all the theories is that which suggests the creatures are extraterrestrials. Yes, you did read that right. In 2005, Linda Godfrey was contacted by a man – a military whistle-blower, we might say – who was an expert in the field of remote-viewing. According to Godfrey’s Edward Snowden-like source, the U.S. Government has uncovered data suggesting that the Dogmen are a very ancient, extraterrestrial race that closely resembles the ancient deity of the Underworld. And who might that be? It’s Anubis, that’s who. Linday’s informant also discovered – via remote-viewing – that the Dogmen can “jump” from location to location via portals or doorways in the fabric of space and time. That’s quite a story told to Godfrey: Dogmen from the stars that have a connection to Anubis. The story isn’t finished, though.

Linda Godfrey with Nick Redfern

On March 24, 2017, “The Emoluments of Mars” blog ran an article that said: “Mike Bara, the world-renowned geneticist and physiologist, was invited once again to blather for three hours on Jimmy Church’s podcast Fade to Black this week. 90% of it was discussion of a series of images of odd-looking artifacts on Mars. There was the pistol, the sarcophagus, the fossilized dinosaur, and my personal favorite the 20ft high cat playing air guitar.” In my book, The Martians, I wrote of this: “An upright cat, standing precariously on a huge hill, on none other than Mars? That is what one particular and peculiar photograph, secured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, seems to show. The word ‘seems’ is the most important one in all of this. The picture shows what looks like a thin, humanoid-type figure – and that is so skinny it appears to resemble a classic, cartoon-like stick-man. We can see two arms (one of them raised), two legs, possibly two feet, and a head. Admittedly, the head is cat-like, and it has a pair of eyes and pointed ears. And, the “creature” appears to be standing in front of what looks like a shadowy entrance to a cave.” I have to say that Bizarre” is the word. Or, beyond bizarre.

(Nick Redfern)

Anubis from Mars?

I showed the picture to a well-known figure in the ““ancient aliens” world who, on seeing it, practically foamed at the mouth. I’ll avoid mentioning his name, as he has since moved on and relegated it to the “pareidolia basket.” Before doing so, however, he spent a couple of weeks working on a paper titled “Anubis on Mars?” The reason: the person in question felt that the “upright cat” looked far more like none other than Anubis. And who, precisely, was Anubis?  Let us take a look: “Anubis is the Egyptian name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology,” Crystalinks state. “Anubis was the god to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in the crook of its arm.” I’ve had people tell me that the Dog-Men and Anubis might have a connection. I have no evidence, at all, to support such a controversial thing. But, it’s worth keeping things in mind when it comes to the words of Linda Godfrey’s “Deep Throat”/whistleblower.

Recent analysis of lunar rock samples that were brought back from the Apollo 17 mission have revealed even more information regarding our moon’s evolution, specifically how long it took for it to completely cool down after forming.

Scientists studied a rock called “troctolite 76535” and what they found has changed previous theories regarding the evolution of the moon. It was previously believed that after the moon formed, it took approximately 100 million years to completely cool down. However, new studies have dramatically lessened that time frame to around 20 million years.

The experts chose the troctolite 76535 sample because it wouldn’t have been altered much while on the moon as explained by William Nelson who is a researcher at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, “It has not been strongly modified by impacts during its time on the moon’s surface.” “Such pristinity is rare for lunar rocks.”

While measuring how much phosphorus was in the rock, the researchers also discovered other chemical variation patterns in the mineral grains, such as plagioclase and olivine. “This was unexpected, as previous studies had reported both of these minerals to lack any chemical variation,” Nelson told Space.com, adding that the variations found in the grains “could not have survived for as long as previously thought.”

In regards to the 20-million-year cooling period rather than the previous estimate of 100 million years, Nelson noted that “If the sample had cooled as slowly as previously suggested, then it should have no variations in P [phosphorus] content and that the variations would have been “ironed out” a very long time ago.

Even though it’s been nearly 50 years since the sample was collected, it is still revealing fascination information regarding the history of our moon, especially with help from new technology. “I believe quite a bit can still be learned from the Apollo sample collection,” Nelson said. “First and foremost, as demonstrated by this study, analytical techniques are always improving.” “Signals that were previously hidden because they were subtle can now be detected and leveraged in new ways.”

It’s incredible to think that this new study has changed the timeline of about 80 million years in regards to how long it took the moon to cool down and solidify. And with more lunar missions, additional samples will be brought back to Earth to be analyzed. We will surely find out even more fascinating information regarding our lunar companion. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications where it can be read in full.

ExoMars discovers hidden water in Mars’ Grand Canyon

Trace Gas Orbiter at Mars

“FREND revealed an area with an unusually large amount of hydrogen in the colossal Valles Marineris canyon system: assuming the hydrogen we see is bound into water molecules, as much as 40% of the near-surface material in this region appears to be water.”

The water-rich area is about the size of the Netherlands and overlaps with the deep valleys of Candor Chaos, part of the canyon system considered promising in our hunt for water on Mars.

20km Spacecraft On Planet Ceres Map, Photos, UFO sighting News.

Date of discovery: Dec 16, 2021

Location of discovery: Planet Ceres

I was looking over a map of Ceres, not a dwarf at all as some confused and inept scientists believe. This planet has signs of advanced technology on its surface in its northern polar region. The object I found is a landed spacecraft. Its distinct white color makes it stand out from its grey and black surroundings. The spacecraft is huge, about 20km long from nose to tail. That would be capable of holding a small city within it. Now technology like that normally would not just be laying around, except aliens often dump old ships on the moons and planets nearby so that they can reuse or recycle old parts of the craft for later. I have found spaceships on earth moon, Mars, and even under earths oceans. Now why doesn't' the US gov tell the public? Because, do you think the gov wants competition at getting to this and other abandoned alien ships and cities? No, they don't. Sometimes not telling others, leaves all the spoils for you.

I Found A Pond In A Crater On Mars, Google Map Discovery, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Dec 16, 2021

Location of discovery: Mars
Google map coordinates: 

• https://www.google.com/mars/#lat=70.298700&lon=-257.205490&zoom=8&map=infrared

First off, when you click the URL above it takes you to the online Google Mars map, but you will need to hit the button in the upper left corner that says infrared. 

 

I found a pond in the center of a crater on Mars using google earth map. The pond clearly looks like a liquid and and is even on all sides of it. Its not a tunnel or a cave, but an area covered in a liquid. It could be water, but may be some there liquid entirely. I know its not a tunnel entrance because if I hit the button in the upper left that says Elevation, you can see that its depth is small, oval and similar to that of a pond. I just wanted to share this with you. Water on Mars, we all know it exists, but if this is water, its a lot. Over 3km across!

During the Apollo missions, many photos were taken by the crews including rare images of strange bright and glowing objects above, on or near the moon. 

The video below shows some rare images of these bright objects captured during the Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 missions. 

Apollo 13 was to be the third mission to land on the Moon. An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks crippled the spacecraft during flight and the crew were forced to orbit the Moon and return to the Earth without landing. During the orbit of the moon, the crew captured strange objects above and on the moon. 

Now, there seems to be a ”Moon Industry” to have held for at least the past fifty years in the crater Plato as moving and flashing lights have been observed at the bottom of the crater. 

For over hundred years the British Royal Astronomical Society has reported 1600 similar sightings of bright lights in the crater Aristarchus, lights at the eastern foot of the lunar Alps, in Mare Crisium a series of spots and streaks of light, and long light lines were seen from the crater Eudoxus.

These bright lights seem to be driven by electromagnetic energy. This energy will offer unlimited opportunities to build huge objects and to move and live in almost any environment. 

These electromagnetic spaceships emit a pulsing glow under different conditions as the density of the atmosphere, humidity, velocity and the height of the spacecraft. 

There can be no doubt, that many of these lights, especially the glowing moving objects, 'electromagnetic spaceships' are intelligently controlled.

The US Airforce Soldier Who Faced Aliens

The Rendlesham UFO Incident is the biggest UFO incident in the UK that happened in the days before Christmas back in year 1980. There are audio recordings of the airforce talking about these UFO sightings.

{ https://www.latest-ufo-sightings.net/ }

Few alleged UFO abduction cases have received as much attention as the one which occurred in a small Argentine town less than a month ago. Even fewer have received as much GOVERNMENT attention as the case of Irma Rick of Jacinto Araúz in La Pampa, Argentina. Rick mysteriously disappeared after hearing a loud noise and seeing a bright light. She was found 24 hours later, 40 miles away, not remembering anything else but still in possession of her cellphone. If she was abducted by a UFO, that cellphone could be the first known to have been on an extraterrestrial spaceship. Wouldn’t ANY government be interested in getting its hands on that?

Who could that be?

“The 3rd Judicial District of General Acha (La Pampa) has intervened as the competent body in this case. Dr. Juan Bautista Méndez took over the case in the court of first instance, but within a few days, investigative continuity fell to Dr. María Virginia Antón, deputy prosecutor, who was elevated to the position in June 2021.”

The go-to guy on the alien abduction case of Irma Rick is Luis Burgos, a well-known South American UFO investigator. After his initial investigation, he focused on the cellphone, which would be evidence in any missing person case. Burgos was able to interview Dr. Antón, who gave him some interesting and some disappointing answers. (See more on his website.)

• The investigation aims at dismissing all “suspicious” that the event might have had: Spousal abuse, kidnapping, extortion, injury, etc.
• Irma Rick’s smartphone is in the hands of judiciary at Dr. Antón’s request.
• At first, a story circulated about Irma Rick’s spouse’s smartphone having also been taken. Dr. Antón denied this.
• A medical report has been attached to the cause of action.
• In principle, a report by an interdisciplinary team that visited the protagonist is yet to be attached.
• The expert report on the infamous smartphone should be ready by February/March, as this matter takes time and Judicial Recess begins in January.
• The results of the expert investigation will not be made public.

Antón’s department has Rick’s phone, appears to be treating it first as a criminal case, but will keep all results private. Luis Burgos doesn’t seem pleased with these answers. He notes on his website that the La Pampa area is a well-known UFO hotspot and the Irma Rick case is just the latest in a long string of unusual UFO-related occurrences there. He’s also worried that it will be ignored like so many other La Pampa incidents in the past.

“And it makes us wonder…if the Irma Rick case falls apart, collapses, or otherwise becomes uncertain, does it change Pampean case histories to any extent?”

Does no one care or are they hiding something?

Burgos hopes instead that the government will take its time and “the Irma Rick Case will serve to set a precedent in the subject of abductions and witnesses with smartphones.”

Will it? Let’s hope Luis Burgos keeps up the great work and keeps us informed.

The UFO phenomenon often seems to happen in waves. Every once in a while a particular place will seem to draw these strange anomalies to it, On occasion, some of these spates of UFO sightings will take a sharp turn into the truly bizarre, and one of these was a case from Canada that ended with a piece of physical evidence in the form of a copper disk apparently left behind by aliens and which has never been deciphered.

In 1967, the city of Edmonton, of the Canadian province of Alberta, would experience a series of very strange events. It seems to have begun in the early morning hours of May 8, 1967, when a 14-year-old boy by the name of Ricky Banyard saw “a spaceship” in the sky as he walked through the Mount Pleasant Cemetery on his way home at around 2 a.m. It was described as being spherical in shape, with red and green lights and top and bottom parts that were spinning. From the bottom of the craft emanated a beam of bright white light that seemed to be scouting the ground like a searchlight. The boy went to get his friend, Glenn Coates, and they both watched as it made its way towards some trees in the cemetery. They decided to get some binoculars and hide behind a tree nearby, where they were able to get a close look at the object, and Banyard would explain of what they saw:

It was 200 to 300 feet in the air and made a muffled whistling noise as it hovered. A white ribbon of light came from the bottom of it and spread out in a rectangular shape about 15 centimeters above the ground. The ground was white, as though white hot under it. When I stepped out from the trees for a better look, the light disappeared then there was kind of a screaming noise like a jet starting up. All the lights in the ship went out and there were about seven or eight bangs and it took off.

When they inspected the area where the light had hit the ground, they found some rectangular-shaped black streaks on the gravel road that wound through the cemetery. Banyard would make a sketch of the UFO, and when word got out he saw there were droves of curiosity coming to the cemetery every night hoping to get a glimpse of the mysterious object. Two days after Banyard’s experience, a middle-aged couple living nearby also saw what they described as a spherical craft with red and blue flashing lights on its edges and a beam shooting down from beneath it. Ten days after that, a 29-year-old school janitor by the name of Jack Strangman saw a “whitish, oval-shaped” object lurking over the cemetery, and at around the same time a “really bright, egg-shaped” craft with two pulsing red lights at each end was seen streaking away from the cemetery and into the night by a witness named Norman Fibke. This series of sightings stirred up a lot of media coverage and talk at the time, and strange lights would be seen in the skies of Edmonton throughout the summer, but it would not be until November of that year where the strangest case of all would emerge.

On November 4th, 1967, an Italian immigrant in the area known only as “L.R.” walked back to his home after dinner with friends at around 11:30 p.m. and then sat in his room having a cigarette and relaxing, when he looked out through the window and noticed an extremely bright red light streaking through the sky over the Saskatchewan River near the Riverside Municipal Golf Course. He watched as it took a trajectory towards the ground and then stopped to hover in the sky. Although he had at first thought it was a plane, he could now see that it was not, and his curiosity caused him to go to the window for a closer look. He could see that the object was round in shape, and had a very bright red, pulsating light, almost blinding in its intensity.

As he watched the strange object hover, it’s fierce red light suddenly blinked out, and it was as if the whole craft had vanished, and shortly after this, an ethereal blue ring appeared in the air, which then descended towards the ground to seemingly evaporate. Soon after, another blue ring did the same, then another, and after this the red light blazed on once again and a smaller light ejected from the bottom of the craft to go flying towards the ground. This smaller object seemed to be a silver sphere with a slight violet light, and as the larger craft remained stationary it flew around over the golf course, creating a buzzing noise as it did so, finally landing on the ground to seemingly vanish. A few minutes the light went on again and this smaller object flew up towards the larger one to disappear within it. After this, the larger object became brighter, its red light pulsating furiously, before the craft shot off into the distance.

The next day, L.R. went out to take a look at the area where he had seen the strange light show the night before. He made his way out over the golf course and after some time of looking around discovered where he surmised the smaller craft had landed. It was a circular patch of flattened grass about 16 feet wide, and off to the side were some anomalous holes in the ground. As he surveyed the area some more, something glinting in the grass nearby caught his eye, and when he went to see what it was he found lying there a plate made of what looked like copper, measuring approximately 17.3 cm (6.8 inches) wide by 12.5 cm (4.9 inches) high. Upon its surface were what appeared to be some sort of hieroglyphic-like drawings and symbols, their meaning inscrutable. Mesmerized by what he was seeing, L.R. picked up the plate to find that it was extraordinarily thin, only about 1 mm (0.04 inches) thick, and after studying the strange pictographs on its surface he took it home with him. At this time, he was convinced that this plate had come from one of the crafts he had seen, so he was very careful not to damage it as he had the impression that it was quite fragile.

Image by Steve Baxter

Back at his home, L.R. wondered what he should do next and whether he should show the mysterious plate to someone, but in the end he decided that no one would believe him and so he held onto it and kept it a secret for years. When he went back to Italy six years later, he brought the strange artifact along with him, and somehow word got out about it in an Italian magazine on unsolved mysteries called Il Giornale dei Misteri. This captured the attention of UFO researcher Daniela Giordano, who talked personally with L.R. and has said of their correspondence:

At that time I was living in Rome and after some telephone calls to the magazine I obtained the telephone numbers of L.R. who was living in Southern Italy, near Naples. Thus, I got in telephone contact with him. He confirmed the story and told me he was not interested in analyzing the plate, in spite of my insistence. It was just like a lucky mascot for him, stored in his strongbox, and all this interest about his story was starting to disturb him. Moreover, he didn’t have much interest in UFOs and related matters. So, after this conversation, I proposed to send a friend of mine, living closer to his town, with the task of taking a photo of this strange plate, nothing more. He agreed, and I sent my friend to see him. Since this I have had no further contact with him, but I have been working in my free time to try to understand this puzzling plate. As far as I know, no other researchers have ever studied or done research on this strange object.

The photo that Giordano managed to get of the plate is the only known photographic evidence of the mysterious object. Giordano would manage to track L.R. down again years later, and hear that he had lost the plate when the police had stopped him one day on his way to work and confiscated his car and the bag he always carried it around in after his vehicle had been hit by a mysterious gunshot. A week later he got his car back, but not the plate, and he would never see it again. Where it went is anyone’s guess, and this means the only sign that it ever existed at all are the testimonies of L.R. and Giordano and the photograph. You can see the photograph here. It is all a truly bizarre case tied in with other sightings from the same area, and we are left to wonder just what was going on here. Was this something dropped or intentionally left behind? Was it just a hoax? If it was real, then where did it go and what did it say? We will probably never know.

Hundreds of dinosaur footprints have been discovered in a clay mine close to the village of Borkowice, Poland. It is such a significant find that experts have called it the most spectacular discovery ever made in Poland, as well as the largest find in all of Europe and possibly even the world.

The dinosaur tracks date back approximately 199 million years during the early part of the Jurassic Period that is known as the Hettangian Age (this was between 201.3 and 199.3 million years ago). They were found by Professor Grzegorz Pieńkowski from the National Geological Institute in Warsaw, as well as geologist and paleontologist Dr. Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki from Uppsala University.

(Not any of the footprints mentioned in this article.)

The tracks were so remarkably preserved that Dr. Niedźwiedzki explained them as looking like “…the dinosaurs were walking there yesterday,” adding, “This will make the site the largest collection of its type in Europe.” In fact, they were so well preserved that they have been compared to the best quality ones that were previously found in North America, Greenland, South Africa, and China.

The footprints were found in rocks with approximately 60 big blocks containing hundreds of tracks that have been recovered thus far. The researchers are planning on excavating over 200 additional blocks of rocks in the coming months and there could be as many as thousands more footprints that have yet to be found.

The prints were made by carnivorous and avian dinosaurs. Some of the tracks were made by sauropodomorphs (this group includes the Brontosaurus). The biggest footprints measured 40 centimeters in length (15.7 inches) which means that the dinosaurs that left them would have measured as tall as 6 meters (19.7 feet). What’s even more remarkable is that the claws and skin were imprinted in the rocks.

Another interesting fact is that even though hundreds of footprints were found, actual dinosaur bones are quite rare in Poland. The reason why not many dinosaur fossils have been found is because a lot of the country was under water millions of years ago and the fossil site near Borkowice was a coastal area.

This is certainly a very important and exceptional find as Professor Pieńkowski stated, “I have never seen such a treasure trove before.” Pictures of some of the footprints can be viewed here.

‘Human Extinction Would Be Fine’ if Asteroid Hit – Say Woke Transhumanists

Artist’s impression asteroid colliding with Earth

It is believed that an asteroid smashed into the Earth some 66 million years ago, landing near the the Yucatan Peninsula in modern-day Mexico, and wiping out the dinosaurs and other countless species in the process. It was certainly a Great Reset for its time. But could it happened again, and if so, what would that mean for the human race? 

When the “Chicxulub” asteroid struck the Earth back then, it triggered the equivalent of 100 nuclear winters, and is said to have wiped out roughly 75% of all species on the planet. If the same thing happened to day, it would, at the very least, go a long way towards wiping out the human race.

Surprisingly, some leading technocrats and radical environmentalists are in favour of an full-on Armageddon outcome…

Bioethicists Okay Human Extinction to Eliminate Suffering

These days, anti-humanism is as thick as molasses among the intelligentsia. That includes an ongoing conversation in bioethics whether — all things considered — human extinction would be a fine thing because of the suffering that never coming into existence would avoid.

Example: A few months ago, Oxford professor Roger Crisp opined that we might not want to stop a huge asteroid from hitting the Earth. From “Would extinction be so bad?”:

Consider the huge amount of suffering that continuing existence will bring with it, not only for humans, and perhaps even for “post-humans”, but also for sentient non-humans, who vastly outnumber us and almost certainly would continue to do so. As far as humans alone are concerned, Hilary Greaves and Will MacAskill at the University of Oxford’s Global Priorities Institute estimate that there could be one quadrillion (10¹⁵) people to come – an estimate they describe as conservative.

These numbers, and the scale of suffering to be put into the balance alongside the good elements in individuals’ lives, are difficult to fathom and so large that it’s not obvious that you should deflect the asteroid. In fact, there seem to be some reasons to think you shouldn’t….

Perhaps one reason we think extinction would be so bad is that we have failed to recognise just how awful extreme agony is. Nevertheless, we have enough evidence, and imaginative capacity, to say that it is not unreasonable to see the pain of an hour of torture as something that can never be counterbalanced by any amount of positive value. And if this view is correct, then it suggests that the best outcome would be the immediate extinction that follows from allowing an asteroid to hit our planet.

Crisp equivocates a bit at the end, writing, “I am not claiming that extinction would be good; only that, since it might be, we should devote a lot more attention to thinking about the value of extinction than we have to date.” Good grief. Is the issue really debatable?

Not to be outdone, writing in response to Crisp in the Journal of Medical Ethics Blog, University of Calgary professor Walter Glannon shrugs his big brain at the prospect of us being gone. From “A world without us”:

We cannot predict the sort of lives future people would have because we do not know the sort of world they would inhabit.  But the circumstances described above make it difficult to be optimistic. Regardless of the hypothetical value or disvalue of these lives, possible people are not deprived of anything if they do not come into existence.

We have an obligation to collectively act to prevent or reduce the suffering that present and future humans will actually experience. This depends on controlling natural habitats, deforestation, carbon emissions and other processes.  Future actual people have the same rights and interests in avoiding suffering as present actual people.  The extent of suffering may provide a pro tanto reason to prevent them from existing.  Even if there is no such reason, merely possible people do not have these rights and interests because they do not and will not exist.  If we become extinct, then the world will go on without us and will be good or bad for no one.

Why do ivory-tower discussions like this matter? Because these nihilists are teaching the society leaders of tomorrow, those who will exert tremendous influence over future public policies and cultural attitudes. With our supposedly best minds suggesting that human extinction could be desirable, is it any wonder why so many of our young people seem to be despairing?

Moreover, the utter terror of suffering is pathological and leads directly to evil and/or terribly wrongheaded utilitarian policies such as eugenics and social Darwinism. It is also the moving force behind the euthanasia movement, which seeks to eliminate suffering by eliminating the sufferer. Avoiding suffering is also the central philosophical core of the transhumanism quasi-religion, which seeks to create a corporeal immortality by instilling a new eugenics with very sharp teeth…

So, what should be our attitude toward suffering? It should not be utopian scheming. Nor, to be sure, should it be indifference. Rather, we have a human duty to mitigate each other’s suffering, to love and “suffer with” each other — which is the root meaning of compassion. And we can harness our own suffering to grow and become better individuals.

In this regard, for my Humanize podcast, I recently interviewed the quadriplegic Christian evangelist and disability rights activists Joni Eareckson Tada, who unexpectedly took a deep dive into this very issue, and in a very intimate and personal way. Regardless of faith issues, her attitude toward — and personal response to — her own deep suffering is much healthier than the nihilism that has grown so dark within utilitarian bioethics that some don’t reject the prospect of human extinction out of hand

For The First Time in History, a Spacecraft Has 'Touched' The Sun

Michelle Starr

In an incredible historic first, a human-made spacecraft has swooped in and made contact with the Sun.

On 28 April 2021, NASA's Parker Solar Probe actually flew into and through the solar corona, the upper atmosphere of the Sun. Not only did it live to tell the tale – proving the efficacy of Parker's high-tech heat shielding – it took in situ measurements, giving us a wealth of never-before-seen data on the heart of our Solar System.

"Parker Solar Probe 'touching the Sun' is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable feat," said astrophysicist Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters.

"Not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun's evolution and its impacts on our Solar System, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the Universe."

Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018, with its primary objective to probe the solar corona. In its planned seven-year mission, it should be making a total of 26 close approaches, or perihelions, to the Sun, using a total of seven gravity assist maneuvers from Venus to bring it ever closer. The April perihelion was the eighth, and the first to actually enter the corona.

In its nearly five hours inside the solar atmosphere, Parker measured fluctuations in the Sun's magnetic field and sampled particles. Previously, our estimates of these properties relied on external information.

"Flying so close to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe now senses conditions in the magnetically dominated layer of the solar atmosphere – the corona – that we never could before," said astrophysicist Nour Raouafi, Parker project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

"We see evidence of being in the corona in magnetic field data, solar wind data, and visually in images. We can actually see the spacecraft flying through coronal structures that can be observed during a total solar eclipse."

Above: The bright features visible in the pictures here are coronal streamers, normally only seen from Earth during an eclipse. These were imaged by the Parker probe during the ninth perihelion in August this year.

The Sun doesn't have a solid surface. Instead, its boundary is defined by what we call the Alfvén critical surface, where gravity and the Sun's magnetic fields are too weak to contain the solar plasma.

Above this point, the solar wind emerges, blowing powerfully through the Solar System, so fast that waves within the wind break away from the Sun. What we call the 'surface' of the Sun, composed of roiling convection cells plasma and known as the photosphere, is far below.

One of the goals of Parker was to find out more about the Alfvén critical surface; namely, where it is, and what its topography is like, since we didn't know either of those things. Estimates had put the Alfvén critical surface at somewhere between 10 and 20 solar radii from the center of the Sun. Parker entered the corona at 19.7 solar radii, dipping down to as low as 18.4 solar radii during its corona jaunt.

Interestingly, the probe seemed to encounter the magnetic conditions of the corona sporadically, suggesting that the Alfvén critical surface is wrinkled. At lower depths, Parker encountered a magnetic structure known as a pseudostreamer, which we can see arcing out from the Sun during solar eclipses. Parker's data suggest that these structures are responsible for the deformation of the Alfvén critical surface, although we don't currently know why.

Inside the pseudostreamer, conditions were quieter than the surrounding solar atmosphere. Particles no longer buffeted the spacecraft quite so chaotically, and the magnetic field was more orderly.

Parker also investigated a phenomenon known as solar switchbacks. These are Z-shaped kinks in the magnetic field of the solar wind, and it's not currently known where or how they form. We've known about switchbacks since the 1990s, but it wasn't until Parker investigated them in 2019 that we learnt that they are rather common. Then on its sixth flyby, the probe's data showed us that switchbacks occur from patches.

Now Parker has detected them inside the solar atmosphere, suggesting that at least some of the switchbacks come from the lower corona.

"The structure of the regions with switchbacks matches up with a small magnetic funnel structure at the base of the corona," said astronomer Stuart Bale of the University of California, Berkeley, lead author on a paper on the phenomenon in press at The Astrophysical Journal. "This is what we expect from some theories, and this pinpoints a source for the solar wind itself."

We still don't know how these curious structures formed, but with dozens more perihelions ahead, going as close as 9.86 solar radii from the center of the Sun, we're likely to be getting some pretty fascinating answers.

"We have been observing the Sun and its corona for decades, and we know there is interesting physics going on there to heat and accelerate the solar wind plasma. Still, we cannot tell precisely what that physics is," Raouafi said.

"With Parker Solar Probe now flying into the magnetically-dominated corona, we will get the long-awaited insights into the inner workings of this mysterious region."

The research has been published in Physical Review Letters.
