Des briques élémentaires de vie découvertes autour d'une jeune étoile http://www.maxisciences.com/etoile/des-briques-elementaires-de-vie-decouvertes-autour-d-une-jeune-etoile_art34613.html via @Maxisciences

Pour la première fois, la présence de molécules organiques complexes, des briques élémentaires de la vie, a été mise en évidence dans un jeune système stellaire.        

Les astronomes les désignent sous le nom de "briques élémentaires de la vie". Aujourd'hui, ces molécules organiques, à l’origine de la naissance de la Terre et du Soleil, ont été retrouvées au-delà de notre planète. Une découverte majeure qui confirme la théorie selon laquelle les conditions nécessaires au vivant "ne sont pas uniques dans l’Univers", explique l’Observatoire européen austral (ESO).

Les molécules organiques ont été mises en évidence dans un disque de gaz et de poussières entourant la jeune étoile MWC 480. L’astre se situe à 455 années-lumière de la Terre, dans la région de formation stellaire du Taureau. Sa masse est deux fois plus grande que celle du Soleil. D'après les observations, le disque qui entoure l’étoile s’est formé relativement récemment.

Il vient d’un nuage froid de gaz et de poussière appelé nébuleuse. Les astronomes se sont penché de plus près sur cette région et y ont effectué des observations à l’aide de l’ALMA, le radiotélescope géant situé dans le désert d’Atacama, au nord du Chili.

Du cyanure de méthyle et du cyanure d'hydrogène

Les résultats des analyses, publiés dans la revue Nature, soulignent l’existence de formation planétaire au sein du disque de gaz et de poussières. Celui-ci présente également à certains endroits une forte concentration de cyanure de méthyle (CH3CN), et de cyanure d'hydrogène (HCN), deux molécules complexes contenant des atomes de carbone.

Les éléments ont été mis en évidence dans les régions froides du disque protoplanétaire. Les cyanures, et plus particulièrement les cyanures de méthyle, sont primordiaux pour la chimie de la vie. Ces éléments contiennent en effet des liaisons carbone-azote, essentielles à la formation des acides aminés et par conséquent des protéines.

Jusqu’alors, le doute subsistait quant à la formation et la subsistance de ces molécules dans de très jeunes systèmes stellaires. Dans ces environnements énergétiques, les chocs et les radiations peuvent en effet facilement casser les liens chimiques et compromettre la survie des éléments.

"Nous ne sommes pas uniques"

Grâce aux nouvelles observations de l’ALMA, les scientifiques ont désormais la preuve que ces molécules peuvent non seulement subsister mais aussi prospérer. D'après un communiqué de l'ESO, l'équipe aurait découvert autour de l'étoile suffisamment de cyanure de méthyle pour remplir tous les océans terrestres, c'est bien plus que ce qu'on peut trouver dans les nuages interstellaires.

Cette découverte suggère aux astronomes que les disques protoplanétaires sont très efficaces pour former des molécules organiques complexes et qu'ils sont capables de les former au cours d'un laps de temps relativement court. "Nous savons maintenant que nous ne sommes pas uniques en ce qui concerne la chimie organique", souligne Karin Öberg, membre de l’équipe de recherche.

"Une fois de plus nous avons appris que nous ne sommes pas spéciaux. Du point de vue de la vie dans l'Univers, c’est une grande nouvelle", conclut-elle.

UFO Testimony by a Trained Military Pilot

Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire. 2002

UFO Testimony by a Trained Military Pilot

In the summer of 2002, I was invited to a party at a large house situated deep in the rural countryside on Salisbury plain in the south of England.  The house was miles from any other property and was effectively in the middle of nowhere. We had driven miles and miles through rural back road farm land to get to the house.  There was no street lighting for what felt like more than ten miles, although we had travelled to the house in the middle of the afternoon, arriving at the house in the early evening. This place was surrounded by farm land and fields, the nearest town was about ten or more miles away from the house, so there was no light pollution at all and as the evening grew dark, people started to group on the large patio at the back of the house where there was a BBQ. As I stood with others in conversation I looked up at the stars as it was a beautiful warm summers evening and a crystal clear night.

The sky was clear and full of stars it was like having a front row seat looking out at the cosmos.  There was around one hundred plus people at the party many of which were outside on the patio enjoying the BBQ. As I stood in a group talking, I recall being keen to just stop chatting and simply gaze up at the un obscured night sky. I am a trained Pilot and Ex-RAF Commissioned Officer: I also flew in the Airline industry for a number of years as well as military flying. I have gained thousands of hours flying over the years. 

As I looked up at the clear night sky and detected a small white light travelling at a very high altitude and at a speed faster than any commercial aircraft.  I was familiar with what a satellite looked like in the sky and had seen a number of them before. I knew that they were seen as a single light in the sky but they are flying at a constant speed and never turn in fact they are easy to spot and quite different to that I was seeing so I knew it was not a satellite: My initial thoughts  at the time was that it might have been a  fast jet I considered that it could have possibly been a US military fast jet  such as a stealth bomber:  However,  I quickly concluded that it was most definitely not a UK fast jet aircraft for reasons that may become apparent as I explain what happened next. I also concluded that it was not a USAF fast jet as well. I Began to track the single white light from my two o 'clock position as I tracked the craft, it looked like a single light from the tail of a commercial aircraft yet there were no navigation lights  and no anti-collision beacons or strobe lights.

I continued to track the “Aircraft ” or craft across the night sky until it reached my eleven o clock position.  F ascinated by what I was seeing, I mentioned it to the other people I was standing with on the patio, who all looked up, but due to their lack of aviation understanding were unable to appreciate what they were looking at, which was at that time effectively a single white light travelling at high altitude and great speed without any form of navigation lights on it whatsoever.

However as the craft reached my 11 o'clock, I saw what looked to be a star in the sky around an inch or so below and an inch further away from the craft. I would have said it was approximately around five nautical miles to the right of the path of the first craft which I had been tracking. As the first craft approached the “star” like object, I was astonished to see the second light which had been relatively dim in the night sky as if it was a normal stationary starlight in the sky.  surprisingly and totally unexpectedly suddenly burst into a massive bright white star like light illuminating a relatively large area of sky around its own vicinity which was again at high altitude which my aviation experience would suggest was in excess of 50,000 ft or FL500 power away at a tremendous speed, with the acceleration well beyond any military aircraft I have ever seen in the nine years of military aviation experience, which includes some fast jet flying and a total of twenty two years of aviation experience in.

As the first craft I had been tracking  from my 2'oclock which had been travelling from my right to left and was now at my 11 o'c lock  approached upon the second statuary light which had just burst into the bright light and powered away at tremendous speed.  The first craft I had been tracking had almost reached the second craft when the second craft burst in to life and shot away. Moments later as in around five second later the first craft also burst in to a bright burst of light which again illuminating a relatively large area of the night sky around the crafts own vicinity and immediately accelerated away catching the second craft which had been the first craft I had seen burst in to a ball of bright light and accelerate away from the approaching first craft.  The first craft caught up with the other one and together as if in formation the two craft simply powered away in a climbing attitude and continued to accelerate upwards out of the earth’s atmosphere.

Only two of the people I had shown the craft to from the beginning had bothered to watch it all happen as it was all extremely high up in the night sky  and people were more interested in eating and chatting. After the event I commented on what we had seen and I was keen to discuss in much detail but without any interest from other guests. The subject was dropped and never discussed again.  Though for me the experience of what I witnessed on Salisbury plain that night has never left me and it is as if it had taken place yesterday and has been a life changing experience which has convinced me that we are not alone and that we are being visited by an intelligence far greater than ours. I am totally convinced that what I saw was piloted by an intelligent life force.

Les OVNIs votent Hillary

Les militants de la divulgation, convaincus que le gouvernement américain cache la vérité sur l'origine extraterrestre des OVNIs, sont convaincus qu'Hillary Clinton est la candidate la mieux placée pour faire avancer leur cause. 

Le magazine américain Mother Jones, fondé en 1976, est un fleuron de la presse américaine de gauche, syndicaliste et écologiste. Autant dire que les articles consacrés aux OVNIs n’y sont pas monnaie courante. Pourtant, dans son dernier numéro, Mother Jones évoque un soutien en apparence anecdotique mais, qui sait, peut-être décisif à la candidature de Hillary Clinton à la présidentielle: celui du lobby de la divulgation extraterrestre. Le principal représentant de ce groupe de pression est Stephen Bassett avec son «Disclosure Project». Depuis une vingtaine d’années, cet avocat de 68 ans multiplie les initiatives -pétitions, colloques, lettres ouvertes, initiatives citoyennes…- pour obtenir du gouvernement américain qu’il dévoile toute la vérité concernant la présence extraterrestre sur Terre. Stephen Basset est même le seul lobbyiste pro-divulgation enregistré officiellement sur la colline du Capitole. 

L’enthousiasme à l’égard de la candidature d’Hillary Clinton est partagé par de nombreux ufologues comme Michael Salla, un proche de Stephen Bassett: «Je pense qu’Hillary peut-jouer un rôle positif pour faire émerger l’information. Hillary est indéniablement la candidate la plus pro-divulgation alors que les autres candidats comme Jeb Bush (NDR: le frère de George W. Bush, ancien gouverneur de Floride) sont en faveur du maintien du statu-quo.»

Mais sur quoi repose cette foi en la volonté de l’ancienne secrétaire d’Etat de lever le secret sur les OVNIs alors qu’elle ne s’est jamais prononcée publiquement sur la question ? La réponse tient en deux noms: John Podesta et Laurance S. Rockefeller. 

Le premier est une tête pensante du parti démocrate, ancien directeur de cabinet de Bill Clinton et Barack Obama. Passionné de longue date par le sujet OVNI, il a préfacé le livre de la journaliste Leslie King, «UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record». En en février dernier, il a twitté alors qu’il quittait ses fonctions à la Maison Blanche: «En définitive, mon plus grand échec en 2014 est une nouvelle fois de ne pas avoir pu sécuriser la divulgation du dossier OVNI.»

Pour Stephen Bassett et les autres tenants de la divulgation, il ne fait aucun doute que John Podesta est un allié de poids au coeur du pouvoir, d’autant que les liens qu’il entretient avec le couple Clinton sont aussi amicaux que politiques.  «Le tweet de John Podesta a été un coup de tonnerre de la part de quelqu’un qui va être un conseiller clé de la candidate démocrate» s’enthousiasme Stephen Bassett, interrogé par Mother Jones. 

•       "Laurance Rockefeller veut vous parler des phénomènes paranormaux et des OVNIs"

L’autre personnalité qui fascine les pro-divulgations est le milliardaire et philanthrope Laurance S. Rockefeller, quatrième fils de John D. Rockefeller Jr, héritier de la Standard Oil Company, l’homme le plus riche du monde au début du XXe siècle. Contrairement à son père, célèbre pour ses actions de mécénat en faveur de la culture et du patrimoine, Laurance S. Rockefeller s’est pris de passion pour le sujet OVNI. En 1993, rappelle Mother Jones, il a entamé un lobbying intensif auprès de l’administration Clinton pour tenter d’obtenir que toute la lumière soit faite sur le crash de Roswell en 1947 et les visites extraterrestres en général. En août 1995, il a accueilli dans son vaste ranch du Wyoming, Hillary Clinton, à l’époque First Lady. La présence probable de Bill Clinton n’a jamais été confirmée officiellement, en revanche le thème abordé au cours de cette visite ne fait aucun doute.

Dans un mémo adressé aux Clinton et cité par Mother Jones, le directeur du Bureau de la politique scientifique et technologique de la Maison-Blanche, Jack Gibbons les met en garde: «Laurance Rockefeller veut vous parler de son intérêt pour les perceptions extrasensorielles, les phénomènes paranormaux et les OVNIs». Jack Gibbons ajoute qu’il a tenté sans succès de dissuader le milliardaire de «vous ennuyer avec ça» et qu’il lui a conseillé de «recentrer les discussions sur les politiques scientifiques et technologiques menées par le gouvernement». «Rockefeller sait que nous essayons de l’aider en répondant à ses préoccupations sur les OVNIs et que nous gardons un esprit ouvert sur ces questions. Mais je ne lui ai pas fait mystère de ma conviction qu’il ne faut pas trop se laisser distraire des impératifs  plus terre à terre.»

Preuve supplémentaire qu’Hillary Clinton n’a pas échappé à la marotte de Rockefeller, ce livre qu’elle tient sous son bras gauche sur cette photo prise pendant son séjour dans le ranch du milliardaire. L’ufologue français Tonyo Cousin, spécialiste de l’analyse photographique, est parvenu identifier l’ouvrage. Il s’agit de “Are We Alone? Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life.” (Sommes nous Seuls ? Implications Philosophiques de la Découverte d’une Vie Extraterrestre) du physicien Paul Davies. 

Pour Stephen Bassett, l’Initiative Rockefeller est la pierre de touche de son combat pour la divulgation. Selon lui, cette rencontre prouve que les Clinton sont concernés au plus haut point par ce processus:  «Vous ne faites pas tout ça juste pour amuser un milliardaire» assène-t-il en feignant d’oublier qu’aux Etats-Unis les campagnes électorales sont souvent financées par des milliardaires qu’on a pris la peine «d’amuser»…  

•        "Notre non-campagne a pour stricte politique de ne pas commenter les activités extraterrestres"

Stephan Basset va jusqu’à comparer ce week-end dans le ranch de Rockefeller à la fameuse robe bleue de Monica Lewinsky qui prouvait que Bill Clinton avait bien fauté avec sa stagiaire. Quant à l’ufologue Michael Salla, qui se fait souvent remarquer par des annonces fracassantes à défaut d’être crédibles, il prend aussi très au sérieux la petite phrase de Barack Obama prononcée au Jimmy Kimmel Live: «Nous ne pouvons rien révéler sur les extraterrestres. Ils exercent un contrôle strict sur nous».

«C’est la première fois qu’un président américain dit-ça, même si c’est sous forme de blague» commente Salla. C’est aussi sur un ton humoristique qu’un porte-parole d’Hillary Clinton, Nick Merrill, a répondu à Mother Jones qui souhaitait obtenir la position officielle de la candidate sur les OVNIs: «Notre non-campagne a pour stricte politique de ne pas commenter les activités extraterrestres » écrit Nick Merrill dans un mail, «MAIS la Vérité est Ailleurs»…

Une réponse qui donne une nouvelle fois du grain à moudre aux militants de la divulgation… Mais n’est-ce pas le but recherché ? Pour Stephen Basset et les ufologues convaincus que le gouvernement américain ne dit pas tout ce qu’il sait, ces formulations ambigües ont pour but d’accoutumer progressivement le public à la révélation toujours imminente selon eux. Mais un autre chiffre retient l’attention: 35% c’est le pourcentage de la population américaine qui croit que les OVNIs sont réels et émanent d’une civilisation extraterrestres selon la plupart des sondages réalisés ces dernières années. Hillary Clinton n’a aucune raison de se fâcher avec 35% d’électeurs potentiels…

Argentine Villagers Fear UFOs Are The Lanterns of the Devil

Bright flashing lights are appearing out of nowhere on rural roads in the Ibicuy Islands of Argentina. Residents report that the lights are too intense to be oncoming vehicles. Besides, when they get to the spots where the lights were, there’s no car or truck to be seen. They wonder if the lights might be from UFOs, but what they fear the most is that they are Farol de Mandinga, the Lanterns of the Devil.

An illustration of horsemen fleeing Lanterns of the Devil

Also known as La Luz Mala or the evil or bad light, Farol de Mandinga (sometimes called Farol de Diablo) is the name natives of swampy areas in northern Argentina give to low-lying lights that seem to appear shortly after sunset. The lights are described as intensely bright with wisps emanating from them. The lights float and dance to entice people to follow them despite the sound of cries of pain that come from them. A lucky few will be led to the foot of a hill where treasure is buried. Most will instead find broken pottery containing decaying human remains –  what’s left of the sinners whose souls have become the lights. The remains are said to be fatal to anyone who touches or even smells them, which is why they carry a blanket to put over their head.

A photo of La Luz Mala

No wonder the residents of the Ibicuy Islands fear them. The islands are swampy low-lying areas between the Paraná and Uruguay Rivers. There are few vehicles on the roads so people like this eyewitness are surprised by the sudden appearance of the lights.

… at the time, amid the solitude of the country, you do not know what to do, because it is very surprising, are like the headlights of an oncoming car head-on but when you look back nothing, no vehicle, only the lights, flashing and go.

Are these lights the feared Farol de Mandinga, UFOs or something else? The “something else” could be “ignis fatuus,” the Latin phrase meaning “foolish fire” used to describe the bright lights often called will-o’-the-wisp  in the U.S. that are caused by the combustion of swamp gases.

Whatever these lights are, no one wants to see them on long, lonely, desolate stretches of highway unless their looking for buried treasure, a ghostly adventure or inspiration for a country-western song.

France : un ovni filmé à Draguignan

(Source : Activité Paranormale)

Le 7 février 2015, aux alentours de 16 heures 15, un homme a observé une probable soucoupe volante qui se mouvait lentement au-dessus de la ville de Draguignan, dans le Sud de la France. Les images de cet évènement ont été publiées sur Youtube. De quoi s’agit-il ? Son apparence fait de cet objet un véritable OVNI…

Cette scène surréaliste aurait durée environ 4 minutes. Le ciel, particulièrement bleu cet après-midi là, rendait l’engin métallique particulièrement visible. Selon les estimations du témoin, il mesurait au moins 10 mètres de longueur…

Témoignage :

• Un ami qui sait que je suis porté, entre autres, sur le sujet OVNI, m’a fait savoir qu’il avait filmé quelque chose de bizarre dans le ciel Dracénois. Intrigué et septique, j’ai voulu voir de quoi il en retournait… Je n’ai pas été déçu!!!
• L’observation qui a durée entre quatre et cinq minutes, a été faite le 7 Février 2015 à Draguignan. Le point de prise de vue se situe à 50m à l’ouest du stade de Draguignan sur le balcon d’un immeuble. L’angle de visée est orienté Ouest – Sud Ouest  et l’objet se situait a une distance approximative de 3km… (d’après estimation sur les images)
• Le film dure 2mn13s. On peut voir l’objet rester en stationnaire, faisant des déplacements lents verticalement, descendant et remontant de plusieurs mètres en restant sensiblement dans la même zone planimétrique…
• Sur l’image on a du mal a définir la forme exacte de l’objet du fait de la distance de prise de vue et de la qualité de l’optique de l’appareil qui a servi à faire la vidéo. (téléphone portable). Néanmoins on peut voir clairement que l’objet est de couleur grisâtre, et les reflets du soleil laissent penser que le fuselage est d’apparence métallique…
• Après avoir passé le film au ralentit, deux faits notables m’ont interpellés. A la 58e seconde, et à 1mn58s  on peut voir clairement un objet supplémentaire passer a très très vive allure dans le champs de vision…! La première fois il descend à la verticale mais n’a pas tout a fait une trajectoire droite. Une minute après il traverse à nouveau l’écran en diagonale partant d’en haut a droite jusqu’en bas à gauche, mais cette fois ci la trajectoire est bien droite. Le ou les objets que je décrirai de forme sphérique ont l’air carrément plus petit que l’objet principal (que j’évalue environ a 50cm). En revanche il est très difficile d’évaluer la distance tant  la vitesse de déplacement est élevée…
• Après les deux minutes de vidéo la personne est rentrée chez elle, et est ressortie quasiment dans la foulée par curiosité, mais sans filmer… Au bout de deux minutes environ, elle a vu l’objet se déplacer vers Nord – Nord Est (direction Ampus), avant de disparaitre derrière le bâtiment ou elle se trouvait…
• Pour finir, la personne qui a fait la vidéo, a depuis ce jour, une trace rouge sur l’avant bras gauche. (photo a l’appui)… La trace ressemble à une brulure ou une forte irritation. Cette trace est toujours visible aujourd’hui sur la personne concernée, lui provoquant des démangeaisons… La personne ne sait pas comment ses traces ont apparues car elle n’a pas eu de problèmes particuliers qui pourrait justifier cela…

The Roswell Slides ARE NOT the Roswell Slides

So now we’re told that the Roswell Slides might not be linked to Roswell and that the name, Roswell Slides was invented by the debunkers and is not a term used by anyone on the inside. For the latest interviews with Don Schmitt and Tom Carey, see The Conspiracy Show hosted by Richard Syrett which can be found here:

https://youtu.be/fQyAVrFnTos?t=1h3m59s

The segment with Carey and Schmitt starts at the 1:04:20 mark of the show and they are on for about thirty minutes. You’ll just have to fast forward through the first hour to get to the Carey and Schmitt interview.

Here’s what we learn by listening to this. According to Tom Carey, the couple who took the slides was well connected to the Eisenhowers. The wife was a “high-powered lawyer in Midland, Texas and the husband was an oil field geologist.” Part of his territory was New Mexico. Please note that Carey is suggesting that the Rays, whose name he does not use, were the ones who took the photographs though all that can be said is that they may have owned the slides at one time decades ago. The provenance of the slides is still very shaky.

Carey then went on to explain how the slides were originally discovered. He said:

•      Current owner came into possession of the slides around 1990. The husband [Bernerd Ray] died in 1982 and the lawyer wife [Hilda Ray] died in 1988 [though not mentioned, it seems that they had divorced at some point]. During a clean out of their house, in their garage, one of the people who was part of the cleanup crew discovered this huge box of color slides, Kodachrome slides, and she said, “Oh, these look interesting,” so she kept them. She took them home instead of taking them to the dumpster. She took them for herself because nobody wanted them… so she kept them and didn’t look at them for a number of years [which seems strange after she had determined they were interesting, but never mind]. She finally looked at them and these two slides… were separate from all the others. There were over 400 slides in total. But there were these two that were taped in an envelope to the underside of the lid to the box. So she looked at those and she got spooked… She shipped the whole box to her relative who has them now. He was no UFO guy but he looked at these two slides and he says, “I don’t know what this is…” he had heard about Roswell… So he looked at them and I better contact somebody who knows something about this.

Of course, in his position, my first thought would have been to search for someone who knew about the Roswell UFO case. Carey said that the man had gone to the Internet (which is something I bet we all do now a days) and looked for something about Roswell. Carey’s name came up and the man set an email.

During the interview, Schmitt suggested that the “debunkers” had labeled them the Roswell Slides and they had not made that connection meaning that the slides were connected to Roswell. Syrett, in recapping some of this said that Carey and Schmitt weren’t linking these images to Roswell but there was a possibility that there was a connection (or in the words of nearly everyone else, let’s beat around the bush some more).

All though the interview, however, Carey talked as if it was an already established fact that the slides were from the Roswell case. Continuing in that vein, Schmitt said, “The dating of the slides is from 1947 to 1949. As we will be demonstrating at the event in May, there were specific areas that the photographers visited… both worked in west Texas and New Mexico… the circle of friends were closely linked to Eisenhower.” Or, in other words, this is connected to Roswell even though these people lived in Midland, Texas and had pictures of Eisenhower in his uniform.

The link to Eisenhower seems to be based on the fact that some of the slides in the box of 400 were of Eisenhower, which doesn’t link them to him personally other than they were in the same place at the same time… Just as I was in the same place as David Letterman and I even have a picture of me standing next to him, but we are not closely linked.

During the interview, Carey was asked about what linked the eyewitness testimony to other alien bodies. He said:

•       [The] woman standing by a glass slab… the body lying on it appears to be 3½ to 4 feet tall… large inverted pear-shaped head but there is one item on it, on top of the head that was described by one of the first-hand witnesses, one of the first ones to the crash site… the local fireman named Dan Dwyer who described when he got home that night and he told his family about it… they asked him, “What did it look like?” Instead of giving a detailed description he just said, “Child of the Earth.” [Which is an insect also known as the Jerusalem cricket]… It’s something on the head, I don’t want to give anything away here… there is something on the top of the head that one of the eyewitnesses described and it’s on this particular creature on the slide… That’s why Dan Dwyer called it the Child of the Earth.

But what Carey doesn’t say here, and which is extremely important is that Dwyer was never interviewed by any of the UFO researchers and calling him a first-hand witness without explaining the circumstances is misleading. Dwyer died before the interest in Roswell was renewed. Contrary to the impression that this is first-hand testimony, it was relayed by Frankie Rowe, Dwyer’s daughter. While I believe that Rowe is telling us what she believes to be the absolute truth, it is second hand from her so anything deduced from the testimony is shaky at best.

Apropos of nothing, Carey did mention that this ranked as a “smoking gun,” slightly better than the “smoking gun” of the Ramey memo. Both, according to Carey, are extremely important bits of evidence and, of course, the Ramey memo is directly related to Roswell.

What have we learned here?

Well, the Roswell Slides don’t necessarily show a creature from the Roswell crash, at least according to Schmitt. But then both he and Carey talk as if it was already proven that the creature, whatever it was, is from the Roswell crash.

The slides were apparently in a vacant house for two years before they were found, and then the woman who found them and took them, didn’t look at them for a number of years. She was so freaked out by them that she sent all the slides to her brother…I mean a relative, who apparently did nothing with them for years. Then about three years ago this fellow, who lives in Chicago, looked at them and thought he had better find someone who knew something about Roswell. He emailed Carey.

We also learned that when they attempted to interest American scientists in the slides, no one would come forward. The news media was equally unimpressed, but foreign scientists have examined the slides and made comment about them. Two of them are Canadian anthropologists who were not named but whose analysis will be part of the Mexico City show. They will be named there. All this data and much more will be presented in Mexico City.

And, although they suggest that the slides aren’t linked to Roswell, when they begin to talk about them, it is clear that is exactly what they think. And if they don’t, then why bring poor old PFC Benavides into it so that he can say that the creature in the photograph looks like the bodies he saw in Roswell? While they might not like the name the Roswell Slides and don’t refer to them that way, it is what they believe. All we can hope for is that they’ll have some better evidence about the slides than they have mentioned in the various interviews so far. The story of how the slides ended up in the hands of UFO researchers doesn’t allow for evidence of who took the pictures in the first place or for an unbroken chain of custody. There are still too many loose ends. I do hope they can do better in Mexico City.

The Original Roswell Slides will not be In Mexico City

Well, there is a new development in the saga of the Roswell Slides announced over at the UFO Conjectures blog. It seems that the originals will not put in an appearance in Mexico City. Instead, those who shell out their cash, and any media who show up, will be treated to copies. I’m sure that they’ll be high quality copies, much better than the screen grabs that we’ve been saddled with for the last several weeks but they will still be copies.

But here’s the thing. Without the originals, there will be no real way to prove that the slide film was manufactured in 1947, there will be no way to be sure that something hasn’t been manipulated, and it won’t advance our knowledge all that much, though we will have been given a good look at the image. But one of the critical factors is the date of the film stock from which the slides were taken and you can have as much documentation as you want, but the question will remain, is that documentation accurate. The real thing needs to be seen.

Yes, I get that if these are slides of a real, live, well dead, alien creature, their value will be enormous. Yes, I get that you might not want to take them on a trip out of the country, or out of the vault in which they should be held. But then, there are problems… as just a single example, the date of manufacture coding doesn’t appear on all the slides from a single roll, and it would be lucky that the one slide that was removed from its cardboard sleeve had that coding on it… not to mention that other coding, if visible, would provide the point of manufacture. I suppose a photograph of the slide’s coding would help, but then we’re removed from the original and that is always problematic.

Of course there will be other documentation presented, but given the nature of the slides, it will need to be quite persuasive… and copies of the slides just might not be enough. I remember in Roswell in 1997 that we were promised a great deal about a bit of metallic debris that was said to have been picked up by a soldier in 1947. We were told that the documentation would be available and that the chain of custody had been preserved. Unfortunately the documentation was flawed, the name of the soldier was not available and the chemical analysis, while exciting, was flawed. We’re not even close to that here.

Now we’re told that the real slides will be unavailable. We’re going to have a picture of a picture and that provides for a great deal of deception in the presentation. That doesn’t mean there will be deception, I merely point out that it opens the door… and I will point out that those who have engaged in the evaluation of the slides do have a rooting interest in their authenticity. In other words, much of the analysis and work has not been by disinterested third parties.

This also tells us that contrary to what he has said, Adam Dew is not the owner of the slides… unless of course if he doesn’t show up in Mexico City. That seems unlikely because he needs to be there to complete his documentary. So, we don’t know who owns the slides now other than it apparently isn’t any of those who will be at the big presentation.

And, apropos of nothing at all, I note that the Alien Autopsy footage was equally difficult to see in its original state. Frames with the alien on them were promised for proper testing, but somehow that never happened. Now we learn that the original slides will not be available for independent examination.Anyway, the point is this. The real evidence will not be presented in Mexico City and the mysterious owner of the slides, who does not live in Arizona (as some have suggested), will not be present with the slides. Say what you will, but this simply does not bode well. It is one more disappointed in a series of disappointments and I do not see a way to recover outside an independent analysis of the slides which doesn’t seem to be in the offing any time soon.

Gereedschap ouder dan de eerste mens ontdekt - HLN.be

Wetenschappers hebben gereedschap ontdekt dat waarschijnlijk zo'n 3,3 miljoen jaar oud is. De ontdekking, gedaan in Kenia, is zeer bijzonder omdat de oudste mens zo'n 2,8 miljoen jaar oud is.

Het oudste gereedschap dat voor deze vondst werd ontdekt, is zo'n 2,5 miljoen jaar oud. Het lijkt er dus op dat dit gereedschap werd gemaakt door een van de voorlopers van de mens: een Australopithecus. In 1974 werd een van hen opgegraven in Ethiopië, een skelet dat de naam Lucy kreeg. Die menssoort ontstond zo'n vier miljoen jaar geleden in Afrika.

Volgens experts die de gereedschappen onderzocht hebben werden ze waarschijnlijk gebruikt om dingen af te knippen en af te breken. De materialen waren nuttig om planten, noten en vlees te bewerken.

Verfijnd
Onder het gereedschap zat een verscheidenheid aan soorten en maten. Er waren grove gereedschappen, maar ook meer verfijnd materiaal. ,,Ze zijn niet zo verfijnd als de menselijke werktuigen, maar er is geen twijfel dat ze zo bedoeld zijn'', vertelt Richard Potts, die het onderzoek leidde.

De gevonden werktuigen zijn geen voorlopers van de gereedschappen die gemaakt werden door de eerste mens. Omdat er tussen het ontwikkelen van deze materialen en het ontstaan van de mens zo'n 700.000 jaar zit, is de kans aanwezig dat de kennis van het eerste gereedschap door de ontwikkelaars meegenomen is in het graf. Honderdduizenden jaren later zijn de gereedschappen herontdekt, zo denken wetenschappers.

Is er leven op Mars? Dat Mars water bevat in de vorm van ijs, weten we al lang. Maar een nieuwe studie in vakblad Nature wijst uit dat er vlakbij het oppervlak mogelijk ook vloeibaar water te vinden is. Is er dan toch leven op Mars?

Het onderzoek is het werk van een internationaal team van wetenschappers, dat zijn bevindingen baseerde op een interessante ontdekking van de marsrover Curiosity van NASA. De robot trof in de bodem van de gigantische krater Gale sporen van calciumperchloraat aan. Die stof verlaagt het vriespunt, zodat water geen ijs wordt maar vloeibaar blijft.

"Onder de juiste omstandigheden absorbeert calciumperchloraat water uit de atmosfeer", zegt onderzoeker Morten Bo Madsen, professor en hoofd van de Mars Group aan de universiteit van Kopenhagen. "Metingen wijzen uit dat die omstandigheden zich 's nachts en tijdens de winter ook net na zonsopgang voordoen."

Luminous Ufo Reported Over Cemetary In Venezuela

(Before It's News)

By Héctor Escalante

 

On March 12 2015, six people witnessed the transit of a large luminous object over the vicinity of Cementerio del Este, located in the municipality of El Hatillo in northeastern Miranda State, in the Venezuelan capital region.

 

 

“At around 10:00 p.m. we were chatting as a group on an apartment terrace when one person asked us in astonishment to look skyward, and we saw three lights forming a triangle,” said Jacqueline López to journalist Héctor Escalante.

 

According to her account, the lights were red, white and green and blinked frequently. She said that after noticing the object – which remained static in the sky without making any kind of noise, they changed their topic of conversation to speculate on the artifact's possible origin.

 

“It made a sudden turn to the right, remained there for a while, and then repeated the same action in different directions,” she added. The object then began descending slowly and in a straight line over a bright white light that shone from the ground, until it vanished from sight.

 

“The light was broad and arched, and its edges were clearly outlined. It looked like a stadium light. The impression it gave us was that it was something casting light upward from the ground,” she added. The moment it lit up, she adds, “all of the dogs in the area began to bark.”

 

It remained there for a good while, she describes, and “then it turned off” and nothing further was seen. The witness notes that no one took photos or videos because they were enthralled by the UFO and did not want it out of their sight. “We were on a terrace and our things were inside the house. I asked them to go find a cellphone and no one wanted to go, so as not to miss the spectacle.”

Prachtige UFO's gefilmd vanuit vliegtuig ( VIDEO )

Al langere tijd nu is er opvallend veel UFO activiteit rondom passagiersvliegtuigen.

Kleine UFO’s die ronddartelen, terwijl er vanuit het ISS (International Space Station) ook regelmatig grote sigaarvormige moederschepen worden waargenomen.


Over de volgende opname is weinig bekend, behalve dat deze gemaakt schijnt te zijn vanuit een passagiersvliegtuig in de buurt van de Amerikaanse stad Atlanta in de staat Georgia. Meerdere media publiceren deze informatie als nieuw maar het gebeurde al in 2013.

Vanuit het vliegtuigraam filmt de passagier een formatie van drie UFO’s die het vliegtuig als het ware volgen.

Dan, op een gegeven moment schiet één van de ufo’s weg onder het vliegtuig door. Even later volgen de andere twee.



Scott Waring ontdekte op één van webcams van het ISS ruimtestation, die naar de aarde staat gericht, een groot sigaarvormig ruimteschip. Onze ervaring leert dat er dan tegelijkertijd meestal ook waarnemingen zijn zoals hierboven van de ronde oplichtende bollen. We zijn benieuwd of die bekend zullen worden.

We weten uit eerdere opnames dat dit soort schepen fungeren als moederschip of dimensieportaal voor die kleinere UFO’s.

Zoals wij schreven in een eerder artikel:

Er wordt door iemand daar een vreemdsoortige wolk gefilmd die een beetje de vorm heeft van een UFO moederschip. Van daaruit, wat eigenlijk een dimensieportaal is, komen de UFO’s tevoorschijn zoals je kunt zien op de volgende afbeelding. 

Aan de linkerkant schiet een witte ronde UFO naar buiten. Op de afbeelding hierna is zichtbaar dat het aan beide kanten van het dimensieportaal gebeurt. 

Hiermee zouden politici door mensen bestookt moeten worden. Voor onze ogen zien we UFO’s verschijnen en weer verdwijnen in wat een vreemdsoortige wolk lijkt. Het komt steeds vaker voor en zeker ook in ons land.

In de onderstaande video legt Scott meer uit over de door hem gevonden sigaarvormige UFO.

Wie weet is dit het moederschip van kleinere UFO’s zoals die gefilmd zijn bij het passagiersvliegtuig.

VIDEO: Disc-shaped object over Ontario, Canada 14-Apr-2015

New video of some kind of a brigh flying saucer flying over the sky above Scarborough in Ontario, Canada. This was seen and recorded on 14th April 2015.

Witness report: I was coming home from dinner at around 820 pm yesterday April 14th 2015 When i saw a bright red light in the sky thinking nothing of it. As I walked towards my door the light became brighter and dropped down very close to the horizon very quickly and changed from a light aqua blue to white to red all while standing still and then darting from left to right. I called my mom to come see and she told me to pull out my camera since it was still twilight I was able to capture our sigthing. The ufo continued to descend into an area of houses and floated around and seemed to have gone lower into the trees where we couldn’t see it anymore so I stopped taping and we went inside. After that I took my dogs for a walk behind my condo where I usually take them which is the elementary school playing field. I was afraid to walk further south since that’s where I saw the ufo. But i continued my walk and observed the sky and started seeing one Ufo very far into the sky leaving a trail then more appeared about 4 or 5. One coming very low close enough for me to be able to tell it definitely was not an airplane. It was your typical saucer shaped disc with lights all around the sides flashing in pattern with some lights shining brighter than others.
i was afraid because the more i looked the more seemed to fill the sky so I began to walk back home i was very very afraid at this point. I did want to video tape what i was seeing but my phone camera isn’t good for night shots and of course I was too terrified to even think. As I hurried home i kept looking back to see if they were coming closer but as I watched they started fading and disappearing higher into the sky and i got home pretty shaken up.
I’m very confused and I’d like to know what I saw. I have encountered many ships before but never this close and never on camera. And also the phone I used to capture the video is a Samsung S5. Thank you very much.

Looking Back At The Mysterious Betz Sphere Artifact

A weird, bright metal object was found on March 27, 1974 by members of the Betz family when they checked the damaged from a small brush fire near their property on Ft. George Island in Florida. The metallic object was quite heavy and similar to the size of a bowling ball. The family initially thought of a cannonball because of a long history of Spanish mission way back in the 16^th century. Antoine and Jerri Betz, accompanied by their then 21-year-old son Terry, decided to take the mysterious metallic ball to their home.

Back in their home, when Terry was playing his guitar, the first incident of the family with the ball took place. According to the family, the ball resonated the music and moved around all by itself. When they put the ball on their table, it navigated on its own around the perimeter and managed not to fall.

Doors started slamming without any reason in the house and filled with organ music, even though no such music instrument around the resident. When Terry hit the ball with a metal object, the family members heard a ringing sound.

They also found the metallic object was sensitive to weather conditions where sunny days produced more activities than cloudy days. Infrared or direct heat seemed to have no effect on the object. When the family had enough, they contacted the media hoping that someone might explain the identity of the bizarre artifact.

The photographer of Jacksonville Journal, Lou Egner, saw the ball turned by itself and rolled to the right around four feet. It stopped and then turned again, rolled to the left around eight feet. It then made a large arc and came right back to the photographer’s feet.

The media frenzy followed, and the family started to think about the possibility that they recovered an alien space probe. They then decided to subject the ball to a test, which was done by Dr. Carl Williston of Omega Minus One, a Louisiana-based institution at that time.

After approximately six hours of testing, Dr. Williston found three to four magnetic poles in the sphere. He said that magnetic field’s aspect was a mind bender, the field’s flux density seemed to vary in strength based on a strange pattern. In simple terms, the magnetic portion’s power changed up and down. Back in 1974, the phenomenon wasn’t part of physics.

The object was examined with an x-ray and Williston found out 3 similar spheroid shapes within the ball. These 3 identical shapes had a halo surrounding them. The metal can be compared to stainless steel but had unknown content, making it slightly different metal as we know it.

The Betz ball is nowhere to be found today. The ball faded together with its news. Where is the Betz ball today? No news about the family as well. Is it still possible to contact them? No one can tell their exact location.

This Prehistoric Underground Temple Hides The Unexplained Mystery Of Elongated Skulls

April 15, 2015 - The only known prehistoric underground temple worldwide is located in Malta. Dating back to 5.000 B.C, “Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni” or simply “Hypogeum”, from the Greek word hypo (under) and gaia (mother earth) is an underground construction, which consists of interconnecting chambers in three levels. 

Hypogeum, carved into 2.000 tons of stone, was discovered in 1902 by construction workers while working on the foundations of a building. The first excavator of this underground construction was Fr Emmanuel Magri. 

He worked there between 1904 and 1906, but his notes were lost after his death in Tunisia. Magri was succeeded by Sir Themistocles Zammit until 1911. Archaeologists believe Hypogeum was used until 2500 B.C.

Although its original purpose is unknown, they are sure that it was used as a burial place. Further excavation of Hypogeum revealed the first and oldest level, which consists of a large hollow with burial chambers on its sides. Its main entrance used to be on the surface.

A doorway leads to the second level, filled with impressive carved stones in different shapes, pentagons and floral patterns in red ochre. 

The deepest level consists of the “Main Room” and other rooms: the “Decorated room”(a richly decorated chamber), the “Snake Pit”(used for either keeping snakes or collecting alms), the “Holy of Holies”, and the “Oracle Room”. Researchers have made extensive studies on the acoustic properties of the last chamber. 

Any sound made in this room is heard all throughout Hypogeum and can affect human emotions. But there is a lot more in this superb prehistoric structure.

When it was discovered, more than 7.000 skeletons were found in the chambers near the entrance. The photos of Dr Anton Mifsud and his colleague Dr Charles Savona Ventura testify their existence. 

Further examination of the skulls showed that, due to peculiar abnormalities, they were elongated, and one lacked the Fossa median.

There was also found a small statue of a sleeping goddess, with a snake inscription on it.


Research suggests that these skulls belonged to people with a natural genetic tendency for elongated skulls. 

Until 1985, a number of these strange, lengthened skulls were exposed in the Archaeological Museum in Valletta. Today, there are only 7 skulls. The rest of them have disappeared, along with the 7.000 from Hypogeum and haven’t been recovered since then. Hypogeum first opened to visitors in 1908. 

Since then, hundreds of people keep visiting it every year. Although only small groups of visitors are allowed in it, in order to maintain temperature and humidity at required levels, booking a Hypogeum tour and seeing the past through the eyes of our ancestors looks like an overwhelming experience. 

This place is full of inexplicable mysteries that remain unsolved, which makes it even more fascinating and attractive to the visitors.
