The truth could be revealed at Congress' first public hearing on UFOs in 54 years
A man who was a Navy Astronaut and the Sixth Man on the Moon suspected extraterrestrial intervention.

There are just 12 individuals who had the privilege to see how the Earth looks right from the moon’s surface. However, just one of those individuals has stated that aliens prevented a war that would employ nuclear weapons between the Soviet Union and the US in order to protect mankind from extinguishing themselves.
Edgar Mitchell is most remembered for punching in a code that had 80 lines during the Apollo 14 mission’s descent to the moon in the year 1971. He further claimed that high military authorities had suppressed evidence of unidentified flying objects, presumably alien spaceships, which were especially fond of flying above New Mexico’s White Sands Testing Range. Living in New Mexico had offered him a distinct perspective on the state.
The alien beings were interested in White Sands because it was the area where atomic bombs were being tested. They were curious about American military capabilities. Speaking with individuals has revealed to him that ETs have been trying to keep mankind from starting a war and to assist build peace on our planet.
Mitchell has further informed the Mirror that other soldiers had told him that extraterrestrial spacecraft had disabled nuclear missiles and took them down over the Pacific Coast.
Just 2 years after landing on the moon, he unexpectedly quit NASA, divorced his wife, and created the Institute for Noetic Sciences, he began openly discussing his less popular ideas. He utilized it as a platform to talk about discovering new worlds in ways that aren’t related to recognized science or religion. He grew persuaded that alien life had visited Earth and was assisting mankind is moving toward a more spiritual path.
Mitchelle developed his metaphysical and alien views while training as a pilot, although he wasn’t recognized as a weirdo or for making outlandish claims. He was among the most capable and smart pilots in the United States military. NASA would notice this potential as well, providing Mitchell with the opportunity to realize a dream he’d had since President John F. Kennedy asked the US to put a man on the moon.
Mitchell was set to launch when Kennedy revealed the Space Program’s aim of reaching the moon in 1961.
He stated that it was what he always desired. He’d been committed to this adventure, knowledge, and discovery since his childhood, and it’s what motivates him throughout life.
The United States Navy was where Mitchell spent most of his adult life. Before the Navy’s postgraduate school, he was a Naval Aviator. He went on to become a Navy research pilot before earning a Ph.D. in astronautics and aeronautics. He eventually enrolled in the US Air Force Research Pilot School to be a test pilot. He was educating astronauts in mathematics and navigation while striving to finish first in his class as a test pilot.
He became an astronaut at NASA in 1966, barely 13 years after enrolling. Mitchell was scheduled to fly on Apollo’s missions 9 and 10, as well as the ill-fated Apollo 13. But it wasn’t until Apollo 14 that Edgar Mitchell touched foot on the moon’s surface.
He finally got a chance to soak in the scenery as he returned to Earth. Seeing Earth from the outside transformed his perspective on himself and humanity. He described it as a “strong… overall impact” in an interview with VICE back in 2016.
Looking at Earth from orbit, he says, one wonders, “Who are we, how did we get here, and where are we going?” And that is an old, old question that people have been asking for a long time. His experience taught him that our science may be incorrect in resolving these concerns and that our religious cosmologies may be antiquated and erroneous. And now since we are an alien civilization, we must re-ask these questions and put forth a lot more effort to find solutions.
The former sailor who became the sixth human to set foot on the moon died at the age of 85, in 2016.

Astronomers Find a Star That Contains 65 Different Elements
Have you ever held a chunk of gold in your hand? Not a little piece of jewelry, but an ounce or more? If you have, you can almost immediately understand what drives humans to want to possess it and know where it comes from.
We know that gold comes from stars. All stars are comprised primarily of hydrogen and helium. But they contain other elements, which astrophysicists refer to as a star’s metallicity. Our Sun has a high metallicity and contains 67 different elements, including about 2.5 trillion tons of gold.
Now astronomers have found a distant star that contains 65 elements, the most ever detected in another star. Gold is among them.
There’s a fairly bright star in our neighbourhood of the Milky Way named HD 222925. It’s close to the southern sky’s Tucana (Toucan) constellation. Astronomers are calling it the “gold standard” star because it’s their best opportunity to study how stars create some of the heavy elements in the Universe. That process is called the r-process, or rapid neutron capture process.
A new paper presents a chemical inventory for HD 222925 of all the elements produced by the r-process. The paper is “The R-Process Alliance: A Nearly Complete R-Process Abundance Template Derived from Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the R-Process-Enhanced Metal-Poor Star HD 222925.” It’s available online at the pre-press site arxiv.org and will be published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. The lead author is Ian Roederer, an astronomer at the University of Michigan.
HD 222295 is an r-process enhanced but metal-poor star. It has high metallicity, meaning it contains many elements other than hydrogen and helium, but not much of those elements by mass. It’s not the first one discovered. That distinction belongs to CS 22892–052, also known as Sneden’s star, after the scientist who first identified 53 chemical elements in it. But HD 222295 is much brighter in UV than Sneden’s star, making it much easier to observe spectroscopically. That’s how the researchers were able to identify 65 different elements.
“To the best of my knowledge, that’s a record for any object beyond our Solar System. And what makes this star so unique is that it has a very high relative proportion of the elements listed along the bottom two-thirds of the periodic table. We even detected gold,” Roederer said in a press release. “These elements were made by the rapid neutron capture process. That’s really the thing we’re trying to study: the physics in understanding how, where and when those elements were made.”

There are two types of neutron capture: the slow neutron capture process, or s-process, and the r-process. The s-process is reasonably well-understood, but scientists still have significant questions about the r-process. Astrophysicists have a good theoretical understanding of the r-process, but it wasn’t observed directly until 2019 when observers saw strontium in the wreckage of a kilonova explosion.
Rapid neutron capture allows an atomic nucleus to capture neutrons quicker than the neutrons can decay, creating heavy elements. The r-process begins with elements lighter than iron. In an environment with lots of neutrons and lots of energy, these lighter elements can capture neutrons since they’re neutral and have no charge. When an atom captures a neutron, it emits an electron, converting the neutron into another proton. That raises the atomic number, and the lighter element becomes a heavier element.
These heavier elements—including precious gold—are rarely detected in stars because the astrophysical sites that foster the r-process are rare. “You need lots of neutrons that are free and a very high energy set of conditions to liberate them and add them to the nuclei of atoms,” Roederer said. “There aren’t very many environments in which that can happen—two, maybe.”
This rarity makes the r-process challenging to study, and also what makes the heavier elements, like gold, rare. It’s what makes HD 222295 the gold standard.

Neutron star mergers and the resulting kilonova explosions are one of the environments that foster the r-process. Supernovae explosions of massive stars are the other. Nailing down the astrophysical environments that allow the r-process is critical in understanding the r-process. Now astrophysicists want to study the process in more detail.
“That’s an important step forward: recognizing where the r-process can occur. But it’s a much bigger step to say, ‘What did that event actually do? What was produced there?’” Roederer said. “That’s where our study comes in.”
HD 222295 didn’t produce the heavy elements it contains. They were produced earlier in the Universe and then spread into space by either supernovae or kilonovae. Then they were taken up in another generation of star formation, in this case by HD 222295.
“We now know the detailed element-by-element output of some r-process event that happened early in the universe,” said study co-author Anna Frebel. Frebel is a physics professor at MIT. “Any model that tries to understand what’s going on with the r-process has to be able to reproduce that,” she said.
Scientists know that the r-process is one of the main ways stars and their remnants produce heavier elements with atomic numbers greater than 30. Recent observations confirmed that the r-process occurs in neutron star mergers and the resulting kilonova explosions. But there are still some open questions that have persisted for a long time, like which elements it produces and in what abundances?

Those questions led to the creation of the R-Process Alliance, a group of scientists trying to find answers. Some of the authors of this new study are members of the Alliance. This is the second paper published by members of the Alliance that focuses on HD 222295. The researchers think that HD 222295 is one of a group of stars that formed in an environment enriched by the r-process. The star’s metallicity is higher than most known stars enriched by the r-process. That suggests that multiple supernovae enriched it. HD 222295 likely didn’t form as part of the Milky Way but was captured by our galaxy at some point in the past.
“HD 222925 exhibits no remarkable characteristics in its chemical abundance pattern, other than the overall enhancement of r-process elements,” the authors write. “Thus, it may be considered as reflecting the yields of the dominant r-process source(s) in the early universe.”
Now that astrophysicists have identified a bright star containing elements from the r-process, it can act as a proxy for what supernovae and kilonovae produce. As researchers create models of the r-process inside these events that creates the heavy elements, those models must have the same signature as HD 222295. Hence, it’s the gold standard.
Gold has always held a certain mystique for humanity. It’s unique among the elements and made regular appearances in the world’s myths. In ancient Greece, the Gods dressed in gold and golden apples conferred mortality on those who ate them if they could get past the dragon that guarded them. In Hindu mythology, gold is the source of power and can transmit divine consciousness. It’s also the soul of the world itself.

Those beliefs are wiped away now, lost to time. But the science that replaces them is even more fascinating. The ancients could never have imagined that their myths would be replaced by science and that stars could explode and create gold and other elements. They could never have envisioned gigantic mountain-top telescopes that peer vast distances into space. They could never have imagined that we could cut up a star’s light and determine that the star holds gold.
And they could never have guessed that our own Sun contains 2.5 trillion tons of gold.

Scouring Through old Hubble Images Turned up 1,000 new Asteroids
Researchers have found over 1,700 asteroid trails in archived Hubble data from the last 20 years. While many of the asteroids are previously known, more than 1,000 are not. What good are another 1,000 asteroids? Like all asteroids, they could hold valuable clues to the Solar System’s history.
As time passes and more and more telescopes perform more and more observations, their combined archival data keeps growing. Sometimes discoveries lurk in that data that await new analytical tools or renewed efforts from scientists before they’re revealed. That’s what happened in an effort called the Hubble Asteroid Hunter.
In 2019 a group of astronomers launched the Hubble Asteroid Hunter. It’s a citizen science project on the Zooniverse platform. Their goal was to comb through Hubble data to find new asteroids.
“The amount of data in astronomy archives increases exponentially and we wanted to make use of this amazing data.”
Sandor Kruk, Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics.
The astronomers released the results of their project in a new paper titled “Hubble Asteroid Hunter I. Identifying asteroid trails in Hubble Space Telescope images.” The study is online in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The lead author is Sandor Kruk from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics.
“One astronomer’s trash can be another astronomer’s treasure,” Kruk said in a press release. The data they searched for was largely discarded from other observational efforts not focused on asteroids. In many cases, the data would have appeared as “noise” and was removed to make different elements stand out. But all of this secondary, unexamined data is still archived and available. “The amount of data in astronomy archives increases exponentially, and we wanted to make use of this amazing data,” said Kruk.
The project examined more than 37,000 composite Hubble images. They were taken between 30 April 2002 and 14 March 2021 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3 onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Most images are 30-minute long exposures, so asteroid trails appear as curved streaks.

The streaks go to the heart of the problem: computers struggle to detect them. That’s where the Zooniverse platform and citizen scientists come in.
“Due to the orbit and motion of Hubble itself, the streaks appear curved in the images, which makes it difficult to classify asteroid trails – or rather it is difficult to tell a computer how to automatically detect them,” explained Sandor Kruk. “Therefore, we needed volunteers to do an initial classification, which we then used to train a machine-learning algorithm.”
The volunteers delivered. 11,482 citizen scientists took part in classifying the images. The Hubble Asteroid Hunter page at Zooniverse had over 2 million clicks, and the volunteers provided 1488 positive classifications in about 1 % of the images.

The work of the citizens who took part trained a machine-learning algorithm to search the rest of the images quickly and accurately. The algorithm exists in the Google Cloud, and once it was trained, it contributed another 900 detections for a total of 2487 potential asteroid trails in the Hubble data.
Then the professional scientists played their role. Three of the paper’s authors, including lead author Sandor Kruk, went over the results. They excluded things like cosmic rays and other objects, which resulted in 1701 trails found in 1316 Hubble images. About one-third of them were known asteroids, leaving 1031 unidentified asteroid trails.

Follow-up observations will confirm how many of them are newly-discovered asteroids and determine their orbits. Some of 1031 will likely not be confirmed, but the rest will help flesh out our understanding of our Solar System’s asteroid population.
These asteroids have escaped detection because they’re fainter and likely much smaller than most asteroids detected from the ground. This paper is the first one released as part of the Hubble Asteroid Hunter project. In subsequent papers, the authors will use the curved shape of the asteroid trails to determine their orbits and their distances.

All asteroids are remnants from the Solar System’s early days, mostly from before the planets formed. They’re like nature’s time capsules, and they preserve the conditions in the early system. That’s why astronomers are so interested in them and why we’ve sent spacecraft to collect samples from asteroids like Bennu and Ryugu.
“The asteroids are remnants from the formation of our Solar System, which means that we can learn more about the conditions when our planets were born,” Kruk explained.

More and more researchers are making use of archival data like this. It’s economical to scour existing images for new discoveries, and it bears fruit. “The use of archival data produced by imaging campaigns whose primary science goals lie outside the Solar System is common practice in asteroid science. Several groups have used various image archives to find and characterize SSOs.” For example, in 2019, researchers used archival images from exoplanet surveys to identify over 1800 asteroids, with 182 potential new discoveries.
Astronomers want a complete understanding of the Solar System’s asteroid population because it helps clarify the Solar System’s history. “A detailed description of the small bodies in the Solar System puts constraints on the different Solar System formation scenarios, which make concrete predictions on the size and orbit distribution of objects as a function of time,” the authors explain. “In particular, both the giant planets’ migrations and collisional cascades have effects on the asteroids’ size and orbital distributions that could be detectable with specially purposed observational surveys.”
But specially purposed surveys are expensive and time-consuming. Observing proposals also face stiff competition from other researchers with other foci. “We instead decided to produce such a survey from a large archival dataset,” the authors write.
Kruk hinted at things in the data other than asteroids. “But there were other serendipitous finds in the archival images as well, which we are currently following up.” He also said that their approach is a game-changer, and they intend to use it again. “Using such a combination of human and artificial intelligence to scour vast amounts of data is a big game-changer, and we will also use these techniques for other upcoming surveys, such as with the Euclid telescope.”
As far as the “… other serendipitous finds…” in the images, Kruk declined to share what those other finds might be. He told Universe Today that the findings are “… not related to unusual asteroids but to other findings in the data. We will report them in follow-up publications and announcements soon, so stay tuned!”
We certainly will.

Engineers Design an Electrical Microgrid for a Lunar Base
For seventy years, Albuquerque-based Sandia National Laboratories has been developing electrical microgrids that increase community resilience and ensure energy security. Applications include the Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS), designed to support military bases abroad, and independent power systems for hospitals and regions where electrical grids are at risk of being compromised by natural disasters (like hurricanes, flooding, and earthquakes).
In the coming years, Artemis Program, NASA will be sending astronauts back to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo Era and establish a “sustained program of lunar exploration.” To ensure that astronauts have the necessary power to maintain their habitats and support operations on the surface, NASA has partnered with Sandia to develop microgrids for the Moon! This technology could also support future endeavors, like mining, fuel processing, and other activities on the Moon.
One of the main objectives of the Artemis Program is the creation of lunar infrastructure that will allow for long-duration surface operations and eventual missions to Mars. To ensure that rotating crews can explore and conduct science experiments on the surface, NASA will establish the Lunar Gateway (by 2024) and the Artemis Base Camp before this decade is over. This concept will serve as a technology demonstration that will validate design elements and systems for an eventual Martian habitat, allowing for short stays with the eventual goal of staying up to two months.

The Base Camp concept consists of a habitation unit capable of accomodating up to four astronauts as well as a mining and processing facility that will use local resources (lunar regolith and water ice) to fashion rocket fuel, water, oxygen gas, and building materials – a process known as in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). This will extend the duration and range of surface exploration while reducing dependence on resupply missions from Earth. This facility and its microgrid will be located far from the base camp to avoid disrupting other science and technology activities.
But to ensure resiliency and robustness, the electrical grids for both units will be connected during emergencies. While NASA is designing the electrical system controller for the habitation unit, which will be very similar to the International Space Station’s (ISS) direct-current (DC) system, Sandia’s engineers are developing the system that will connect the two microgrids and studying the power flow and operation between them. Said Jack Flicker, a Sandia electrical engineer, in a Sandia LabNews statement:
“There are some very important differences between something like an ISS-type microgrid to something that has the extent of a moon base. One of those differences is the geographic size, which can be problematic, especially when running at low DC voltages.
“Another is that when you start to extend these systems, there will be a lot more power electronics as well as a lot more distributed energy resources that will exist throughout the base. Sandia has been looking at microgrids with a lot of distributed energy resources for quite a long time.”
Microgrids are part of a larger field of technology that includes distributed energy resources (smaller sources of electricity like solar panels and wind turbines) and power electronics – devices that keep electrical systems operating within specifications (like converters). Since 2021, electrical engineer Lee Rashkin and control engineer Dave Wilson have been designing the software to regulate the electrical system controller for the mining and processing center’s microgrid.

This controller needs to maintain an even voltage over different timescales ranging from milliseconds and minutes to entire lunar nights (28 days). In many respects, said Dave, this controller is similar to a vehicle’s cruise control system in that it maintains an even level of voltage on the grid amid changing external situations:
“Our goal is to come up with a lunar energy power management system that can efficiently maintain a level system on all those timescales. We’ve got a specialized Secure Scalable Microgrid [SSM] facility and control-system-design methodology that analyzes this. The facility also has specialized energy storage emulators that can help us determine the specifications for how much energy storage the base needs and their requirements.”
The SSM testbed is a unique Sandia research facility with a scaled and simplified version of the DC lunar microgrid. The testbed consists of three interconnected DC microgrids with custom-built electronics that can mimic different power-production systems and devices (like diesel generators, photovoltaic arrays, energy storage emulators, and power converters). A computer can control each emulator, and the microgrids can be configured to test various scenarios.
This platform provides an excellent means for conducting experiments with slightly-adjusted control software to compare how the system responds. The team will use the SSM to fine-tune their control system and study questions about power system controllers, including the interactions between distributed energy resources, energy storage, and power electronics. Said Wilson:
“The goal here is top-down engineering: We’re trying to determine the control design first, come up with the specifications for the energy storage, and then NASA could use those specifications to get the flight-ready components that meet those specs,” Dave said. “A lot of the time people will do the reverse; they’ll bring you a battery and say, ‘make it work,’ which may degrade the microgrid performance.”

The Sandia researchers’ second focus is to develop the system that will connect the mining facility and habitation module microgrids to ensure resiliency in emergencies. One way to do this is to develop a system that can reroute power to where it’s needed with flexibility. Another is to scale up the system, so there’s enough power if multiple parts fail. Said Jack:
“Usually, we have some combination of those two, where it’s oversized to some extent, but you are also able to flexibly route power how you need to within a microgrid or between independent, yet cooperative microgrids like we’re exploring for the moon. In a contingency event such as an energy storage system failing during an eclipse, we want to be able to port the power at the mining facility over to the base camp to keep astronauts safe.”
Additional considerations include the impact the distance between the microgrids will have on the efficiency and stability of both. The team is also investigating the optimal voltage the connection should operate at and whether NASA should stick with a DC system or develop something that uses alternating current (AC) for the mining unit, then switches DC once it reaches the habitation unit. To explore these questions and investigate contingency scenarios, the Sandia team is using two research facilities.
The first is Sandia’s Distributed Energy Technologies Laboratory (DETL), a multipurpose research facility designed to integrate new energy technologies with new and existing electrical infrastructure. This lab is equipped with the tools to conduct hardware-in-the-loop experiments, where hardware is subjected to various simulated scenarios, including catastrophic blackouts and weather conditions. These experiments, said Sandia engineer Rachid Darbali-Zamora, are a crucial step between lab simulation and actual field tests:
“With this DC power-hardware-in-the-loop setup that we’re building in the lab, we can test power converters, the impedance of electrical lines between lunar facilities, we could also test actual energy generation and storage devices. Basically, we can use it to study a variety of situations so we can design a system that is self-sustaining and can continue operating even if a solar panel array goes down.”

The team will also use the Emera DC microgrid on Kirtland Air Force Base to see how their power system operates and distributes power in low-energy contingency scenarios. In addition, the teams will be working closely together and using toolboxes from NASA and the SSM Testbed in their connection simulations – and eventually plan to test Dave’s controller in these simulations as well. As Rachid indicated, this research will also have applications here on Earth.
“Even though this work is for a microgrid on the Moon, the research is also relevant to creating resiliency for communities on Earth,” he said. “I’m originally from a small town in Puerto Rico. I hope that some of the lessons that come out of this project in terms of resilience, are lessons I can implement back home.”
This project is being funded by the DOE’s Office of Electricity as part of a DOE-NASA partnership to develop the necessary systems for future lunar missions.

Ancient Annunaki Aliens Visited Earth to Extract Gold
It is interesting to think about the origins of humanity, and how it all started. Scientists believe that life has evolved in the oceans for millions of years and that humans are just the consequence of that evolution. For example, ancient astronaut concepts take a different perspective to the beginnings of humanity. They believe that in the distant past, ancient gods (Annunaki) landed on earth and created humanity. Regardless of the fact that this concept has long been disproved, various ancient texts confirm their descent from heaven.
An author named Zecharia Sitchin once claimed that ancient astronauts, an alien species, had interfered with human biology. He said that the Annunaki were extraterrestrials who came to Earth in search of wealth from Nibiru, a mythic planet beyond Neptune.
Sitchin claims that the Annunaki were able to change primordial humans’ DNA 450,000 years ago by fusing their DNA with theirs and sending them to work mining Earth’s natural resources such as gold. Nibiru, he claims, has a lengthy elliptical orbit and passes near the Earth every 3,600 years. Sitchin also said that this planet was home to highly evolved human-like beings that were taller compared to humans. They were drawn to Southeast Africa’s gold richness some 450,000 years ago.
Sitchin is the author of over 13 novels, which sold millions of copies over many countries. Sitchin’s works have been translated into over twenty-five various languages. Scientists, archaeologists, and historians dubbed him “silly” due to his opposing views on ancient history, civilization, and gods. Nonetheless, Sitchin was able to carry on his analysis.
Aside from Sitchin’s works, there is a ton of research in ancient writings from many cultures about gods that came from above. Stories about visits from the sky also occur among the Dogon, Hopi, and Anasazi peoples, among others. He said that when these intergalactic invaders arrived on our planet, they discovered primitive humanity. The Annunaki God Enki, also known as God of knowledge, interfered in these humans’ genes, genetically modifying them, and forced that primitive people to work for him as miners.
The gods’ cities were destroyed by the big flood that happened 30,000 years ago, compelling them to pass on their knowledge to humanity. The Annunaki gods, according to Sitchin, got back to their planet on a spaceship roughly 2569 years ago. El Dorado is frequently connected with gold rites done by the Muisca civilization close Lake Guatavita in Columbia. According to mythology, the Muisca tribe poured a large volume of gold into the lake. This holy spot continues to draw gold prospectors.
Researchers think that evidence of alien life visiting Earth in quest of gold can be discovered at the bottom of a lake. What did the gold serve for the extraterrestrials? Some ancient theorists that studies alien activity, believed that extraterrestrials might have used gold to deflect sun rays from their sky and that way they were able to save their planets. Gold is essential in space travel and astronomy.
According to Derrick Pitts, Chief Astronomer and Planetarium Director of the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, gold is an inert substance that does not react with anything. He also mentioned that it’s an exceptional electrical conductor and an excellent infrared reflector. Gold blankets might shield spacecraft from the extreme heat coming from some star or some other source of heat.
A large golden sun disc sat at the Qorikancha sun temple in Cusco, in Peru. Many researchers believe that the object was a sign of a UFO which was gold-plated and which had appeared in front of the king of the Incas called Atahualpa. This king was known for having connection with these gods that came from the sky.

Mysteries associated with lightnings, ball lightnings and the electrosphere of EarthLightning and ball lightning are electrospheric phenomena involving several poorly understood aspects. Also the origin of the electrosphere of Earth is still a mystery. In the TGD framework it is possible to deduce information about magnetic and electric bodies of Earth (briefly MB and EB) by using empirical inputs and these phenomena.
In the sequel a TGD based model for electrosphere is deduced by using various empirical inputs and the TGD based view about dark matter and the model of quantum biology inspired by it. A model, which allows us to understand these phenomena in the TGD framework, is developed. The model relies on the TGD based model of dark matter residing at the flux tubes of the magnetic body. The gravitational magnetic bodies of both Earth and Sun are important.The notion of the electric body of Earth as an analog of the cell membrane acting as a generalized Josephson junction is developed. Lightning and ball lightning would be associated with the analog of action potential.

Blue-Skinned E.T. From Andromeda Told US Army Personnel Origin Of Humanity

There are many assumptions about the number of extraterrestrial species in the universe. Many UFOlogists, abductees, and even people in authorities claim to have seen the so-called intelligent beings from outer space. Alex Collier is the only contactee who provided in-depth information about the beings from Andromeda. In his interviews, he discussed the influence of various alien species on the human race.
Many well-known UFO enthusiasts considered Collier to be credible, at least in the sense that he tries to convey as fully as possible the information received from his contacts with the Andromedans. He first began to experience extraterrestrial contact during his childhood up to his mid-teens. After the experiences stopped over a period of several years, which included military service as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, the contact resumed in 1985.
He met with two Andromedans who became his mentors and took him on board their space vehicles including a large extraterrestrial mother ship where he was exposed to the teachings of the Andromedans over a three-month period. The Andromedans gave him information about cosmic spirituality, life in the universe, and Earth’s galactic history.

The Andromedans are “one of the thousands of extraterrestrial races in existence.” They are human and some have bluish skin, measuring more than 2 meters tall. According to Collier, the author of the book “Defending Sacred Ground: The Andromedan Compendium,” all human life forms originated in the Lyra Constellation. However, a war caused their stars to explode, making humanity spread to different places in the galaxy to survive.
Collier explains that the different skin tones are due to different DNAs and exposure to different stars. The Andromeda Beings are one of the oldest civilizations living in the Andromeda constellation.

This civilization, no matter where in the constellation it lives, has a single government and is spiritually 4,700 more advanced than us, as well as 5,000 years technologically. However, they maintain a balance of the spiritual and technological. In fact, they use technology to be able to evolve spiritually.
This is because there are different dimensional levels. We are currently in the Third dimension. We still haven’t reached the Fourth, much less the Fifth. What differentiates the Third from the Fourth dimension, is the conscience.
In the fourth dimension, there is a collective consciousness, because everyone is telepathic and can read the mind of the rest. This leads to each person being authentic, transparent, and without ulterior motives. Upon entering this dimension, the being becomes clairvoyant since, in this state of consciousness, energy systems and fields can be seen.
However, there are still dualities and the judgment systems are modified since the judiciary will be able to take decisions according to the energy fields. The beings of Andromeda have not lived in a society as manipulated as ours. They are telepathic and clairvoyant because they have studied all the sciences.
All souls know who they are, they all know about their past lives, and every time they incarnate, they are aware and know where they are going. In addition, they can see their evolution in the afterlife.
According to various interviews by Collier, he stated that Earth is under the control of “regressive” extra-terrestrial beings. Those aliens came to Earth from the star system known as Alpha Draconis. He said that humans are separated by two different philosophical belief systems. One of them spreads love & free will, while the other one shows control and resource consumption. He said humans are behind the Andromedans because of the manipulations in our DNA. The intense manipulation of Earth dated back 5,700 years. However, this has an origin 14,000 years ago, when the aliens from Orion began to manipulate our DNA structure.
In his last lecture before he retired from the UFO lecture circuit in 2002, Collier said that the ancient alien race known as the “Founders” are responsible for building planets’ environments and making them suitable for life. The Andromedans and the Pleiadians believed that this ancient alien race is called the “Paa Tal.”
He even said that those aliens are capable of removing moons to alter the planet’s position from its sun to control the amount of radiation. The Andromedans could reportedly create a solar system.
Collier noted that the Andromedans are about 4,300 to 4,500 years ahead of us in technology. They do not count years in 365 days as we do on Earth. According to different extraterrestrials, one year is a time when every cell in their body duplicates itself, and it takes around 34 years.
According to Collier, humans consist of 22 extraterrestrial races. He claimed that there are about 135 billion people living on the planets in the eight closest galaxies to us. He even said that when he visited one of those habitable planets, those people got scared of seeing an earthling because of our bad reputation. In the whole universe, only humans could make their own people slaves and kill them for their own benefits.
Italian Astronaut Screams In Fear In Live ISS Video Seeing Two UFOs, Said “Almost Alien”There are accounts of astronauts seeing anomalies while being in the International Space Station (ISS). Sometimes they have been spotted during the live broadcast but the space agencies ignore them, claiming space debris, dirt in the camera’s lenses, or light effect. However, the case of two anomalies and Samantha Cristoforetti’s scream in fear, Italy’s first female astronaut onboard the Soyuz spacecraft during docking with the International Space Station (ISS) in 2014 is still unexplainable.
Samantha Cristoforetti was born in Milan, Italy, on April 26, 1977. Between November 2014 and June 2015, she spent 200 days in space on her Futura mission to the International Space Station as a Flight Engineer for Expeditions 42 and 43. Samantha was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009. She joined ESA in September 2009 and completed her basic astronaut training in November 2010. She’s completely fluent in Italian, English, German, French, and Russian.

On November 23, 2014, the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft was planning to drop its Russian robot, Skybot F-850 to dock at the International Space Station. Cristoforetti was onboard Soyuz TMA-14 along with Roscosmos astronaut Anton Shkaplerov, and NASA astronaut Terry Virts at that time.

As the spacecraft approached the ISS and docking was in process, Cristoforetti saw what appeared to be two huge, glowing orbs zooming toward each other. The orb can be seen moving from top to bottom in the center of the screen at approximately the 1:20 mark.
What appeared on the screen, shocked Cristoforetti so much that she screamed in fear, and immediately her colleague Anton Shkaplerov can be heard saying her to calm down. The video quickly went viral and in no time, it was all over social media.
After the noticeable excitement on the video, many were wondering what Cristoforetti actually saw that caused such a response so she took to Google+ to give an explanation for the shout. Cristoforetti explains she “wasn’t prepared in the least for what I saw when we were at about 30-40 meters [from the Space Station].”
“I had released my shoulder straps quite a bit at that point, so I was floating over my seat. As I turned to look outside, at first I looked back and saw one of our Soyuz solar panels, which I had seen before of course. Then my eyes caught something in the peripheral view. And as I slowly turned my gaze and when I realized what I was seeing, I was overcome by pure amazement and joy: the Space Station was there, but not just any view. The huge solar panels were flooded in a blaze of orange light, vivid, warm almost alien. I couldn’t help exclaiming something aloud, which you can probably hear in the recordings of our docking, since at that point we were “hot mic” with Mission Control. Anton reminded me of that and so I tried to contain my amazement and return to the docking monitoring. When I peaked again later, the orange glow was gone.
Butch told me later that he had heard my amazement on com when “the Station had turned orange.” I didn’t know, but apparently there’s only a few seconds during day-night transition that the Station is lit by that amazing orange glow. And it happened to be exactly when I peaked outside! I feel very fortunate that I had such a unique first glimpse of our human outpost in space: such a great welcome!”

In fact, former US Department of Defense UFO investigator Nick Pope stated that this was not only an unprecedented occurrence but also one of the greatest proofs of extraterrestrial life, not only in space but in our Solar System and very close to us.”
In her Wiki, her NASA.gov profile, and interview with Financial Times there’s no mention of the scream incident. The reporter gets closest to the mystery when asking, “Did you suffer from any unexpected/unpleasant experiences while in space?” She never mentions the scream (which seems odd considering the question) but answers in the affirmative because she “didn’t fall into the 50% who suffer space sickness.” In her latest video by NASA, she mentioned no scream incident as well.
It is unprecedented that even after everything was recorded on live footage, she never spoke about it. However, there are other outer space incidents that happened with astronauts who publicly admitted experiencing strangeness in space.
–Former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin claimed to have seen what appeared to be an “organic, alien-like creature” in the space shuttle payload bay and even reported the sighting to ground control.
–During his time in space, former NASA astronaut Jerry M. Linenger saw some anomalies that were not space debris. He shared his sightings in a live interview with Bild in 2018.
–On May 5, 1981, retired Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok saw something remarkable from the porthole of Salyut 6. According to Kovalyonok, at around 6 p.m., when the spacecraft was flying over South Africa moving towards the Indian ocean, he saw an elliptical-shaped object that was flying along with the spacecraft.
Former NASA astronaut Franklin Story Musgrave said about his experience in space would shock anyone. He claimed to have seen an 8-foot-long snake, white in color, floating through space. It is hard to explain how a snake could reach space, but Musgrave has never denied it. (Click here to read the full story)
‘Grey’ Aliens Are Made From Human DNA, Says Pennsylvania Ufologist Professor

The most typical alien appearance that is discussed in the majority of the encounter cases is “Grey.” Also referred to as Zeta Reticulans, Roswell Greys, or Gray, they are purported extraterrestrial beings. After the 1947 crash in Nevada, Greys became a worldwide sensation. They are grey-skinned, unusually small humanoid beings that lack external human body parts such as noses, ears, or reproductive organs.
Dr. David Jacobs, an American historian and retired Associate Professor of History at Temple University shed light on the Greys biological structure and claimed that they were created using human DNA. After highlighting the similarities in appearance between grey aliens and humans, the professor is convinced they were created from the DNA of people that had been abducted.

Dr. Jacobs is extremely passionate about ufology and regularly tells the press about his hunches and thoughts. He previously talked about the fact that aliens have been walking on Earth among people for a long time, and also that they are planning a full-scale invasion.

During an interview with Richard Dolan in 2018, Dr. Jacobs casts some light on the alien abduction phenomenon. According to Dr. Jacobs, the Greys have barely visible earholes, nose holes, and tiny little mouths. But these parts do not seem to play an important role in their physiology, because the Greys communicate telepathically with the abducted and no one has ever noticed that they were breathing.
“The question is, why do they have a slit for a mouth? They do not breathe, there’s no evidence for them breathing, and they get very very close to people, sometimes even touching foreheads,” he continued.
“I’ve asked people, ‘do you feel their breath on your face?’ The answer is always no. They don’t have lungs, they have very thin little bodies, there’s no back and forth of the lungs expanding and contracting.”
“I don’t know but that’s my best guess, and it all boils down to the slit for a mouth, which they should not have. This comes as an ex-NASA scientist recently claimed that humans will make contact with aliens within the “next handful of years.”
Alien abductions have been going on for decades. It is even believed that the biblical rapture is about the mass abduction of people. Dr. Jacobs adds that the reason behind the abductions is to prepare for the invasion.
The professor revealed several of his findings in the new documentary “Extraordinary: The Revelations.” For Dr. Jacobs, the conclusion he reached after studying alien abductions is chilling; an alien species is preparing the ground to invade Earth.
“We have spread around the world and conquered as much as we can…we don’t know whether this is true of other beings or not, but it certainly is true of what humans have done. My best guess – and this is a guess – is that yeah, they’re doing the same thing,” he said.
He stated that he spoke to a large number of abductees who said that in the future, they would have a “job to do.” He suggested that many of the abductees recall receiving such “crowd control” instructions.
Dr. Jacobs also suggests that abductee testimony began to change over time. The subjects claimed to have seen human-like aliens in the UFOs. In the Corina Saebels Encounter case, he said: “A person is taken out of their normal environment, they’re then placed on this table and they have an examination of sorts and I say of sorts because it’s not a normal kind of examination routinely sperm is taken and eggs are harvested.” (Click here to read the full article)
Scientists Believe That Alien Technology Created Billions Of Years Ago Was Found In Space Rock In SiberiaIn 2014, NASA published a book that considers extraterrestrial interference in human history. It considers the possibility that some rock art depictions on Earth may be of alien origin. Moreover, in 2009 scientists found a naturally impossible mineral in Siberia that arrived on Earth 4.5 billion years ago when the Solar system just formed.
This rare yet shocking piece of material was found in a box obtained from the Italian Museum of Natural History in Florence. According to an international team of researchers led by Princeton University scientists, brought to Earth by the Khatyrka meteorite, which fell near the Koryak Mountains in eastern Siberia. When scientists analyzed the mineral, they were intrigued, not because of its age, as many would expect, but because of its atomic structure.
The structure of this mineral has never been found before in nature, although it has been artificially created in a laboratory. They are known as “quasicrystal” because it resembles a crystal from the outside but from the inside noticeably different.

Atoms were arranged in a variety of different configurations, which, based on human understanding of science and chemical composition, were simply not possible in nature.

Quasicrystals have a dramatic history. Dan Shechtman grew the first quasicrystal in 1982, a discovery so controversial he was asked to leave his research lab. But the evidence was overwhelming: this was a new type of material. Schechtman was honored for the discovery with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The concept of quasicrystals — along with the term — was first introduced in 1984 by Steinhardt and Dov Levine, both then at the University of Pennsylvania. When the team discovered that the meteorite contained this mysterious, ancient, and cleverly engineered material, they merely moved goalposts, simply stating that it can in fact form naturally.
“The finding is important evidence that quasicrystals can form in nature under astrophysical conditions, and provides evidence that this phase of matter can remain stable over billions of years,” said physicist Paul Steinhardt, the Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton.

No one has been able to explain how quasicrystals can form by natural processes, and it’s not likely that anyone will, it just doesn’t happen. Their “forbidden symmetry” makes it impossible for them to form naturally. The only other known quasicrystals besides those found in the meteorites near the Koryak Mountains were recently synthesized by scientiss under laboratory conditions.
Being very hard, with low friction characteristics, also low heat conduction, quasicrystals are a very useful product, used in a wide range of high-speed technologies, such as aircraft coatings and stealth fighters.
In 2017, The team at Geological and Planetary Sciences division’s Analytical Facility at Caltech discovered 35 new minerals in the Khatyrka meteorite. The facility’s director, Chi Ma, said, that “normally we don’t observe” such aluminum-rich metal in space rocks because the aluminum would have reacted to form aluminum oxide.

He said the Khatyrka meteorite is the only meteorite ever found that contains metallic aluminum. The meteorite fragment hosting the trio of new minerals is now in the holdings of the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History, which maintains a catalog of more than 600,000 specimens.
If this material was not created by nature as some claim. Where did this mysterious material come from and how did this complex material end up inside an ancient meteorite?
Harvard professor Avi Loeb theorized that a less explored possibility is that our universe was created in the laboratory of an advanced technological civilization. Since our universe has a flat geometry with “zero net energy,” an advanced civilization could have developed a technology that created a baby universe out of nothing through quantum tunneling.
Could the extraterrestrial material found in the Khatyrka meteorite have been artificially created millions or billions of years ago by an ancient civilization from another world? Was it part of a much more complex technological structure?
Aliens Have Been Living In Huge Buildings On Moon For Long And NASA Knew It

Hoagland said that when he first saw the old photos from the Apollo mission that were kept by Johnston in 1995, they had artificial structures, but were edited in the photos presented by NASA.
He personally saw that at the end of the 60s, NASA employees were ordered to paint the moonlit sky on negatives not to mislead the astronauts, because the sky on the moon is black.

Dr. Ken Johnston was selected as Mars One Astronaut Round 2 Candidate but later the program was stopped due to no funding.
According to Johnston, in a series of shots against the black sky, white stripes showed intricate configurations, which were the ruins of huge buildings that once reached a height of several kilometers.
Of course, if such pictures were shown in the public, it could have created chaos in the media. Richard Hoagland showed reporters a snapshot of a huge building: a glass tower. Perhaps, this was one of the tallest structures found on the moon.
On March 21, 1996, a similar briefing was held at the Washington National Press Club where NASA scientists and engineers participating in the moon and Mars programs reported the results of processing the information received. For the first time, the existence on the moon of artificial structures and objects of anthropogenic nature was announced.
Somebody Else Is On The Moon (1970)
It is worth noting that NASA seems to have deliberately leaked information about extraterrestrial intelligence on the moon. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the fact that George Leonard, who published his book “Somebody Else Is On The Moon” in 1970, wrote it on the basis of numerous photographs that he had access to in NASA. It is curious that the entire circulation of his book almost instantly disappeared from store shelves. It is believed that they could have bought it in bulk so that the book would not have been widely distributed

Leonard wrote in his book that they were assured of the complete lifelessness of the moon, but the data speak differently. He added that before the space age, astronomers had built big telescopes to check the strange activities on the moon that were noticed by both professionals and amateurs.
According to Johnston, the Americans, having been on the moon, discovered the so-called secret of gravity control. Whether this technology was applied in practice in terrestrial conditions is unknown. The lunar race resumed, and now, there are not two participants, as during the Cold War, but at least five. In addition to the United States, they are Russia, China, India, and Japan. The Americans have thawed their lunar program recently. One of the main proponents of this idea was George W. Bush. The States are going to build a base on the moon. Why it is needed, has not yet been told.
Most of the other astronomers are skeptical about the statements of Johnston and Hoagland. After all, these are the people who, in all seriousness, declared their mission to reveal all the secrets of NASA, to reveal all the information that, according to them, the agency is hiding. They even wrote a book and blog on the Internet. As for NASA representatives themselves, they usually do not comment on the statements of rogue scientists.
In the 2007 press release, Kay Ferrari, JPL’s Director of the SSA program, asked Johnston to resign. It was Johnston “being quoted [as] criticizing NASA in Hoagland’s new book, ‘Dark Mission,'” that prompted her to ask for Johnston’s resignation from the SSA Program. When Dr. Johnston refused, citing First Amendment protections of free speech afforded all NASA employees, even those at JPL, Ferrari apparently decided to remove him arbitrarily from the SSA Program, as stated in the press release.
After his abrupt departure, he indicated that he was tired of the US government sitting on evidence for more than four decades, evidence that ancient alien cities exist on the Moon. The low-quality pictures included in the book depict ruins of buildings, huge dome-like objects made of glass, stone towers, and castles hanging in the air.
“I have nothing to lose. I have quarreled with NASA and I got fired,” Ken Johnston said. (Click here to read more on Dr. Ken Johnston)
New Michael Salla: Did ISS Live Camera Reveal ET Space Fleet Participating in Disclosure Initiative?(193).jpg)
(193).jpg)
On May 6, a formation of more than 30 UFOs was captured by one of the live cameras of the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS HD Earth Viewing Experiment gives a spectacular high altitude live feed of Earth as the ISS orbits at an altitude of approximately 250 miles (400 km) at over 17,000 mph (27,600 km/h).
During the live feed a large formation of disk-shaped UFOs appeared and moved across the full visual field of the camera before disappearing. According to information received by Elena Danaan, a former professional French archeologist, the UFOs belong to cooperating extraterrestrial organizations that are part of an officially sanctioned disclosure plan being conducted with an Earth Alliance.
This is the video version of an article published on May 12 on Exopolitics.org and is narrated by the author Dr. Michael Salla
