Een magnetische anomalie in Sint Katelijne Waver op   9 oktober 2008                                    

Hallo Pieter,

Vind hier het laatste gedeelte van de waarneming in SKW

Ik denk voor de dubbele piek een logische uitleg te hebben gevonden

Na een beetje zoekwerk heb ik in een publicatie van 1980 het bewijs gevonden dat zowel het gravitatieveld als het veroorzakende magnetische veld het zelfde dipoolverloop moeten hebben

Hiermee is het laatste vraagteken in verband met het voorkomen van een tweede piek verklaard

         Institut für Ufo-Forschung

            Gerhard Gröschel  is Ufo-onderzoeker  en oprichter van het Institut  für Ufo-Forschung en is van mening dat het echte Ufo-onderzoek moet gebeuren met technische middelen .Veel te lang werd er alleen voortgegaan op meldingen van waarnemingen en werd er te weinig getracht om met objectieve meetwaarden het onderwerp te bestuderen.

            Volgend deze lijn gepropageerd en geinspireerd door Wolfgang Steltzig , verantwoordelijk voor het instrumentele onderzoek bij MUFON-CES heeft hij kordaat gekozen voor camerasystemen automatisch gestuurd vanuit een  alarmsituatie aangebracht door  geomagnetische en zwaartekracht meetapparatuur

            Uit Gröschel´s onderzoek bleek voor mij  al snel dat er een parallel was met ons eigen onderzoek naar een magnetische anomalie opgetreden in Sint Katelijne Waver in 2008

                Gerhard heeft echter wel het visuële gedeelte kunnen hardmaken met een fotografische opname van het fenomeen

            Een tweede aspect van het succes voor zijn methode is dat hij het bewijs heeft geleverd in het ontbreken van de gele kleur in het spectrum van een echte Ufo , eveneens vermeld in mijn uiteenzetting over ¨spectra ¨

            Hij heeft dit gerealiseerd door met 2 camera´s gelijktijdig op te nemen ; de eerste in normale condities en de tweede voorzien van een grating filter om het spectrum te bekomen .

            Hieruit blijkt dat de redenering gevolgd om de anomalie voor de SKW waarneming te interpreteren  juist was en  dit verhaal van experimenteel onderzoek wel degelijk resultaten oplevert.

Het werk van Gröschel is een geweldige stimulans ook voor ons onderzoek in het kader van BUFON  Werkgroep Tecnologie om op de gevolgde manier verder te gaan

5 Most Believable Alien Encounters

The existence of aliens is one of life's unanswered questions, but there is no denying that millions of people believe they have had encounters with what they recall are extraterrestrial beings from other planets. From President Eisenhower's believed meeting that has led many to think the government are in contact with extra terrestrials, to the incredible footage of what's thought to be aliens inside of a craft. Here are five times people say humans have had encounters with alien life.

Pre-Adamites: Ancient Civilizations Developed on Earth Before the Recorded History

(Before It's News)

Pre-Adamites: Ancient Civilizations Developed on Earth Before the Recorded History

 

Is it possible that advanced civilization existed on Earth before “recorded” history? Is it possible that religion only tells one side of the story?

by Ancient Code 

According to two notable gentlemen such as Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate (circa A.D. 331–363) and Calvinist theologian Isaac de La Peyrère (1596-1676) Pre-Adamite beings did exist in the distant past on our planet. 

But many other historians and mainstream researchers suggest there was a race of people inhabiting Earth before Adam and Eve lived on our planet.

Due to the “fall” of “Satan” a widespread destruction occurred on planet Earth. The result of this destruction was so extensive that the world had to be redone with Adam and Eve being the first.

But what happened really? Did “civilization” on Earth “restart” several times in the distant past?

Genesis 1:28 (ESV):

• 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Let reconsider the following; Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

Considering the genealogy of man taking in count that Adam was the first human being in our era, it is reasonable to estimate that from Adam to our time about 6,000 years have passed. There were 76 generations from Adam to Jesus which are recorded in Matthew 23: 38. 

The History since God created the planet and from Adam to our time is just a fraction of the age and history of our planet and the universe. There have been other civilizations before “religion” was created.

The Adamic age, as the Bible suggests, will last 7.000 years culminating in the millennial reign of Christ on earth ruling from Jerusalem, and we are nearing the completion of the first 6,000 years of the Adamic period.

1 Corinthians 15:45 (ESV) 45:  

• Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

It is well-known that the Bible wasn’t actually made as a Book telling a universal history, nor cosmic or geological history and according to many researchers, it cannot be considered as a book of science.

Even though the bible clearly states, in the early chapters of Genesis that god is the responsible creator of the universe, man and animals, we cannot seem to understand what the bible suggests happened before this time.

We know today that our plant has been “here” for over 4,500 millions of years and that the universe is around 13,700 million years old. Some scientists suggest the age of both the universe and our planet is much older.

There are even certain Maya texts which indicated that our universe is around 16,700 million years old. These texts were inspired by “fallen angels” and “Gods” who gave the ancient Maya great knowledge.

Teaching them in Astronomy, engineering, and mathematics, allowing them to erect some of the greatest temples on Earth, like Chichen Itza. Even though some consider these tales of gods only to be a myth, many believe that there is much truth in them.

Researchers have come across numerous findings which have confirmed that man has existed on Earth way before sacred books like the bible suggest.

But is it possible that Pre-Adamite civilizations existed on Earth? And better yet, is it possible that these ancient Pre-Historical civilizations might be connected in some way to the lost “civilization of Mu and Atlantis”?

Is it possible that the Bible speaks of beings that belonged to these ancient civilizations?

Some researchers believe that there is physical and Biblical evidence which points to great knowledge and scientific breakthroughs which the bible does not contradict.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 – 1:10:

• 9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Is there anything of which one might say, “See this, it is new “? Already it has existed for ages Which were before us…

Is it possible that all of the highly advanced technologies that we have developed such as lasers, atomic bombs, satellites, computers, space ships and so on, existed in the distant past? With civilizations that predate “Adam and Eve”? According to Biblical accounts, nothing is new.

Researchers have found, in all corners of the world, physical evidence that points towards the existence of highly advanced ancient civilizations: 

The map of the Creator which is believed to be around 500 million years old, the giant footprint of 1.20 meters found in Swaziland, South Africa, estimated to be around 200 million years old, the sandal footprint found in Utah on a rock that is believed to be around 400 million years old, the Nevada shoe print which is believed to be around 250 million years old, the fossilized human hand found in Colombia believed to be at least 100 million years old. these are just some of the findings that have been avoided by mainstream history and science.

But is it possible that these findings are indications of Pre-Adamite civilizations?

Many researchers believe that highly advanced beings existed on Earth in the past, the evidence speaking of these beings can be found in ancient texts from different religions. The bible is one of them.

From all of the above we know that God did not create a planet empty nor in chaos, but Earth had become a desolate planet filled with destruction. Isaiah 45: 18 and Genesis 1: 2

We also know that God decides to ravage the land but not completely destroy it. Jeremiah 4: 27

We have found many pieces of evidence on our planet which confirm that after periods of civilized live on planet Earth, came cataclysms and destruction, but not a complete destruction of life on the planet. It is as if the planet restarted several times, with different beings, animals and life in general.

There is physical and Biblical evidence which indicates that possible existence of great cataclysms and catastrophes in the universe and on our planet which seem to support the idea that our planet passed through several stages in the distant past. 

We are surely not the first civilized beings that inhabited this planet.

UFO IN PALMER, ALASKA on August 15, 2015 – POSSIBLE LOSS OF TIME ON MTN!!!!

(Before It's News)

So I went for a hike up the Butte in Palmer the other day and took several pictures and a few videos from the

tip top. It was amazing once you reach that height. It’s a beginner mountain and one most can do with 

people of all ages. We staid and enjoyed the view for at least 30 minutes.

Upon returning home I noticed something strange.

When taking the video, the time on it say’s 10:49

The pictures from on top of the Mtn and leaving say…3:44  THAT IS around 4/ 5 hrs of possible lost time. 

I didn’t pay any attention to the time that day and not sure really, but that is what my video time says and

my picture time and that’s a HUGE difference!!! Why would a video do that?

Take a look at time and pictutures below.

Professor: “We kunnen sneller dan het licht reizen”

Sneller dan het licht reizen werd lange tijd gezien als sciencefiction, maar volgens astrofysicus Geraint Lewis behoort ruimtereizen tussen sterrenstelsels of warpsnelheid tot de mogelijkheden.

Professor Lewis van de Universiteit van Sydney zei dat dit futuristische concept onderdeel is van de relativiteitstheorie van Albert Einstein. “Als je naar de vergelijking kijkt die Einstein ons heeft gegeven, zie je dat je de ruimte dusdanig kunt buigen dat je met elke gewenste snelheid door het universum kunt reizen,” zei hij.

“In theorie is het mogelijk, maar kunnen we ooit een warpdrive bouwen? Het materiaal dat we daarvoor nodig hebben bestaat in het universum, maar of we het kunnen vinden om een warpdrive te bouwen is niet zeker,” ging hij verder.

Negatieve energiedichtheid

Professor Lewis zei dat de mensheid het universum met een warpdrive in rap tempo kan koloniseren. “Het grote probleem is nu dat de afstanden zo immens zijn dat het zelfs bij de lichtsnelheid vier jaar duurt om bij de dichtstbijstaande ster te komen en twee miljoen jaar om het dichtstbijgelegen grote sterrenstelsel te bereiken,” zei hij.

“Deze afstanden weerhouden ons ervan het universum te koloniseren. Je moet dus een manier bedenken om die snelheidslimiet te doorbreken, en de relativiteitstheorie van Einstein biedt daarbij uitkomst,” aldus Lewis.

Om verre sterrenstelsels te bezoeken is de conventionele raketaandrijving niet genoeg. Om een warpdrive te bouwen moeten wetenschappers materiaal zien te vinden dat een ‘negatieve energiedichtheid’ heeft.

Kwantummechanica

Hoewel professor Lewis toegaf dat het een theoretisch concept betreft, zei hij dat er in het verleden genoeg speculatieve ideeën waren die later realiteit zijn geworden. “Je hoeft maar te kijken naar het werk van Newton 400 jaar geleden, of mensen die 100 jaar geleden werkzaam waren binnen de kwantummechanica. Die dingen begonnen als een droom en zijn vandaag de dag realiteit,” zei hij.

“Ik denk dat we in de komende 100 tot 1000 jaar veel meer over het universum gaan onthullen,” besloot hij. “Misschien zal deze hypersnelle manier van reizen dan realiseerbaar zijn.” Vond je dit interessant? Denk er dan aan het artikel te delen op Facebook.

Ligt Atlantis op Sardinië? “Mythische beschaving weggevaagd door enorme vloedgolf als gevolg van komeetinslag”

Sommigen zeggen dat de verloren stad Atlantis niet op de bodem van de oceaan ligt, maar voor de kust van Italië op het eiland Sardinië. Herodotus en Aristoteles dachten dat Plato’s beschrijving van een land voorbij de zeestraat tussen Sicilië en Tunesië, dat werd verzwolgen door de golven, een verwijzing was naar dat eiland.

Schrijver en journalist Sergio Frau deed 10 jaar lang onderzoek naar het eiland. Hij vermoedt dat Sardinië 3200 jaar geleden is getroffen door een vloedgolf. Ligt Atlantis verborgen op Sardinië?

Vloedgolven

Stefano Tinti, een expert op het gebied van vloedgolven die het eiland onlangs met Frau en een tiental andere experts heeft bezocht, zegt dat er in de afgelopen 2500 jaar 350 vloedgolven zijn geweest in het Middellandse Zeegebied. Eén daarvan verklaart mogelijk waarom bepaalde megalithische gebouwen op Sardinië verborgen liggen onder een dikke laag aarde.

Frau legt uit dat op het eiland tenminste 20.000 nuraghi – forten met torens – kunnen worden gevonden, die dateren van de 12e tot de 16e eeuw voor Christus. In het zuiden liggen alle bouwwerken op minder dan 500 meter boven zeeniveau begraven onder een laag modder. Bij opgravingen in dit gebied zijn potten, bekers, olielampen, messen, naalden en boogpunten gevonden. Ook troffen archeologen goud, zilver, amber en juwelen aan.

Komeetinslag

Tinti merkt op dat de aardbeving in 2003 in Algerije een schokgolf veroorzaakte die een uur later Sardinië bereikte. Hij zegt dat alleen een komeetinslag vlak bij de kust en in een specifieke richting een muur van water van 500 meter hoog kan hebben veroorzaakt.

De Britse krant The Guardian meldt dat onderzoekers onder het wateroppervlak kunnen zoeken naar bewijs voor zo’n inslag, denk aan bijvoorbeeld fragmenten van de komeet. Men wil ook graag te weten komen waar de nuraghi in eerste instantie voor dienden. Later werden ze gebruikt om de maan te aanbidden. Vind je dit een interessante ontdekking?

Russische geoloog: “Oude beschaving reed 14 miljoen jaar geleden met grote terreinwagens door Turkije”

Een Russische wetenschapper claimt dat een oude beschaving miljoenen jaren geleden met reusachtige terreinwagens over het aardoppervlak reed en dat de sporen hiervan nog steeds zichtbaar zijn.

Geoloog Alexander Koltypin meent dat mysterieuze sporen in de Frygische vallei in Turkije tussen 12 en 14 miljoen jaar geleden zijn achtergelaten door een intelligent ras. “Voertuigen met wielen werden over de zachte bodem, mogelijk een nat oppervlak, gereden,” zei hij. “Vanwege hun gewicht maakten ze diepe sporen.”

Hij voegde toe dat voetsporen van dinosauriërs op dezelfde manier bewaard zijn gebleven. Dr. Koltypin van de Internationale Onafhankelijke Ecologisch-Politicologische Universiteit in Moskou heeft samen met drie collega’s veldwerk verricht in Anatolië.

Dr. Alexander Koltypin

Koltyn zei dat de sporen zijn gemaakt door een soort auto’s of terreinwagens. De wagensporen doorkruisen elkaar van tijd tot tijd en sommige zijn dieper dan andere. “Als geoloog kan ik je met zekerheid zeggen dat onbekende prehistorische terreinwagens tussen 12 en 14 miljoen jaar geleden in Turkije rondreden,” zei hij.

Hij claimt dat archeologen hun vingers niet durven te branden aan dit onderwerp omdat het in strijd is met al hun klassieke theorieën. “We zien tekenen van een beschaving die bestond voor de klassieke creatie van deze wereld,” aldus dr. Koltypin. “Misschien zagen de wezens van die beschaving er heel anders uit dan moderne mensen.”

De wagensporen bewijzen volgens hem het bestaan van oude beschavingen, maar worden vaak genegeerd door mainstream wetenschappers. Er zijn aan de zijkant van veel sporen ook krassen aangetroffen, die zouden zijn achtergelaten door het uiteinde van de assen die werden gebruikt voor de wielen. Vond je dit interessant?

“Explosie in Tianjin veroorzaakt door ruimtewapen van het Pentagon als wraakactie voor devaluatie yuan”

De enorme explosie in de Chinese havenstad Tianjin afgelopen week is veroorzaakt door een ruimtewapen van het Pentagon, als reactie op het onverwachte besluit van de People’s Bank of China om de yuan te devalueren. Dat vertellen Chinese bronnen tegen Natural News. Ze voegen toe dat de ramp is omgeven door zeer strenge geheimhouding.

De explosie heeft in een straal van 10 kilometer van het havengebied grote schade aangericht. Op een afstand van drie kilometer is al het glas uit de gebouwen geblazen en zes bedrijven zijn compleet in puin.

De ontploffingen waren in een containerterminal in de haven waar brandbare stoffen worden overgeslagen. Na de explosies brak er een grote brand uit. Op een zeker moment is gestopt met blussen, omdat onduidelijk was wat er precies in de containers brandde.

De site meldt dat de overheid is begonnen met het arresteren van bloggers die ‘complottheorieën’ verspreiden over de oorzaak van de explosies. Voor en na de ontploffingen zouden zwarte Chinese legerhelikopters in formatie over Peking zijn gevlogen. Dissidenten hebben een aantal foto’s van deze helikopters gemaakt.

Waarschuwingsschot

De bronnen vertelden aan Natural News dat ze reden hebben om aan te nemen dat de aanval op Tianjin een waarschuwingsschot van de Verenigde Staten is, die bang zijn dat China op het punt staat een munteenheid aan te kondigen die aan goud is gekoppeld en Amerikaanse schuldbewijzen aan te bieden tegen dumpprijzen. Hierdoor zouden de Amerikaanse dollar en economie in elkaar storten.

Door het ruimtewapen in te zetten wilde Amerika een krachtige boodschap in de richting van China sturen, aldus de bronnen.

Tijdlijn

Op 11 augustus devalueerde China de yuan met 1,9 procent, wat ook zorgde voor minnen op Wall Street.

Op 12 augustus zou het topgeheime ruimtewapen zijn ingezet, waarbij zes huizenblokken aan de rand van Tianjin volledig werden verwoest. Voor de volgers van de shmita: de atoombommen werden ook in een shmita op Japan gegooid. Dat gebeurde in augustus 1945, precies 70 jaar geleden.

Op 16 augustus stuurde de Amerikaanse president Obama de Chinese overheid een waarschuwing over Chinese geheim agenten die actief zijn op Amerikaans grondgebied.

Geheime ruimtewapens van het Pentagon

Op diverse Amerikaanse websites werd al gespeculeerd dat een Amerikaans ruimtewapen was ingezet tegen China. Gezien de krater gaat het om een explosie van vijf kiloton, mogelijk nucleair of een ruimtewapen, aldus The Unhived Mind. Hoe ruimtewapens werken wordt uitgelegd in dit artikel van Popular Science uit 2004.

De bronnen melden dat de Chinese politie is begonnen met invallen in huizen van bloggers en onafhankelijke journalisten die proberen te achterhalen wat er werkelijk is gebeurd in Tianjin. Wil je dat de ware toedracht van de ramp naar buiten komt? Denk er dan aan dit artikel te delen op Facebook.

Understanding The $100 Million Search For Intelligent Alien Life

Earlier this month billionaire investor Yuri Milner committed $100 million to initiate the most powerful search for intelligent life in the universe to date.

The project is called Breakthrough Listen and to those who are dedicated to this line of work, this money is a godsend, as funding for alien hunting has become harder and harder to find. Years of battling for funds, fighting critics about why we search for life, and hearing nothing but silence from our celestial neighbors makes this line of work trying.

This field of research is known as SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It searches specifically for life that is technologically savvy. SETI experiments are designed to detect electromagnetic waves (like radio waves or laser signals) that are not found naturally in the cosmos and would indicate a sophisticated civilization.

There are programs dedicated to SETI at a number of universities and research organizations all over the world, each employing a slightly different strategy in hopes of finding an intelligent neighbor. NASA once had its own $10 million-per-year SETI program, but Congressdefunded it in back in 1993 and it hasn’t been revived since. Today, SETI work is done elsewhere at places like the SETI Institute, Berkeley, and Harvard, and is predominantly supported by private funds.

NASA does, however, invest millions of dollars into the search for life beyond Earth, just not the technologically savvy kind. Most notably, robotic Mars missions like the Phoenix Lander ($480 million) and the Curiosity Rover ($2.5 billion) have searched for liquid water and organic materials, important ingredients for life as we know it. The James Webb Space Telescope ($8.7 billion), scheduled to launch in 2018, will use spectroscopy to search for microbial life on planets outside of our solar system.

With these missions, NASA’s not looking for little green men, but rather life in the most basic sense. The discovery of lifeforms, even a small single-celled microbe, elsewhere in our universe would be revolutionary.

The search for microbial life continues to be a high priority for Congress and NASA, while the search for intelligent life is left fighting for scraps. Milner’s $100 million investment changes all of that for many SETI scientists.

How Do We Search For Intelligent Life?

Imagine you are an alien on a distant planet looking at Earth and wondering, “Is there intelligent life there?” What hints are we giving to the cosmos that humans are, to our knowledge, intelligent technologically savvy beings?

Well, modern humans evolved about 200,000 years ago, but we’ve only been signaling our “intelligent” presence for less than a century. Human-constructed technology, like radio and TV, which emit electromagnetic signals is our dead giveaway.

Many believe that humanity’s first signal to the cosmos of our intelligent presence was Hitler’s speech for the opening of the 1936 Olympic games. Hitler’s broadcast was at a high enough frequency to penetrate Earth’s ionosphere (from which radio signals can be absorbed, reflected back down to Earth, or in this case refracted into space).

From there, it moved through the universe at the speed of light, decreasing in intensity as it traveled farther and farther away. Whether or not you, as an alien on a distant planet, could actually watch this broadcast depends on your distance from Earth, your position, and the sensitivity of your receiver.

Since then, humans have been signaling our existence to the universe through cell phone conversations, TV broadcasts, and satellite transmissions. Proof that Earth has intelligent life, just waiting to be detected by anyone within 100 light years of us with the right technology.

Here on Earth, we’re pointing our radio telescopes to the skies looking for these types of signals from other alien worlds. SETI experiments essentially involve finding better ways to eavesdrop on the universe.

Why Haven’t We Found Life Yet?

For starters, we haven’t always been entirely efficient at searching for life. We only starteddiscovering Earth-like planets that scientists deem potentially “habitable” this year through the space-based telescope Kepler. This is crucial because these are the planets that, to our knowledge, are the best candidates for finding life outside of our solar system due to their size and their distance from their host star.

But we’ve been searching for intelligent life ever since noted astronomer Frank Drake conducted the first modern SETI experiment, known as Project Ozma, back in 1960. So where were we searching before we had Kepler? Well, scientists mostly studied the area by nearby stars and hoped for the best.

Breakthrough Listen hopes to solve the problems that plagued these previous SETI efforts. Now that we have a better idea of where to look, we can focus telescope time and scientists’ efforts accordingly. Breakthrough Listen will also cover ten times more of the sky than previous SETI efforts, scanning five times more of the radio spectrum. It will accomplish all of this 100 times faster than SETI efforts today. This is made possible by reserving more time on two of the world’s largest telescopes: the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, and the Parkes Telescope in Australia. We also now have the ability to search for laser transmissions with the relatively new Automated Planet Finder in California.

Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia

In addition to more time on telescopes, Seth Shostak, senior astronomer and director for SETI research at the SETI Institute, attributes this increased breadth of search to the ongoing improvements in digital technology. He says these improvements “allow you to simply look at more of the radio dial at a gulp, than you used to be able to. When Frank Drake did Project Ozma, he was looking at one spot on the radio dial at a time. What you really want to do is to look at all of these radio frequencies at once. Today we look at tens of millions of channels at once. Thanks to improvements in digital electronics, it will soon be hundreds of millions and maybe even a billion channels at once. What that means in terms of SETI is that it’s like giving Captain Cook a steamship, instead of the old colliers that he had, to search the south Pacific. He could go faster and make the discoveries more quickly.”

Captain James Cook, British explorer and captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made the first recorded European contact with Australia’s eastern coastline and the first circumnavigation of New Zealand.

To analyze this amount of data, the project will leverage the power of crowdsourcing. Breakthrough Listen will partner with Berkeley’sSETI@home community which consists of nine million volunteers who offer their spare computer time for data crunching. Milner has also stated that all of this information will be publicly available to encourage the public to join the search.

But efficiency and breadth aren’t the only issues in the search for intelligent life. Our solar system is 4.6 billion years old. We’ve really only been “listening” for intelligent life for the past 50 years. Many technological civilizations could have died out millions, or even billions, of years ago and we’ve completely missed them. Or perhaps they’re out there, but because of their distance from us their signals haven’t had time to reach us yet.

This perspective also helps us answer the question, “If aliens are out there, and they can detect our signals, why haven’t they reached out to us?” Neil deGrasse Tyson addressed this in his book, Space Chronicles.

“For all we know, the aliens may have tried to get in touch centuries ago and have concluded that there is no intelligent life on Earth. They would now be looking elsewhere. A more humbling possibility is that aliens did become aware of the technologically proficient species that now inhabits Earth, and drew the same conclusion.”

And of course, there’s the obvious possibility that we are, in fact, alone in the universe.

Listening Vs. Messaging

We are unintentionally “leaking” signals into space for aliens to detect all of the time. But there’s another aspect of SETI work known as Active SETI. This requires the use of our most powerful radio transmitters to send messages in the direction of our nearest stars and planets.

Not everyone likes this idea.

Stephen Hawking, for example, has cautioned humans on making their presence known to aliens. In his documentary Into the Universe, he’s said, “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.”

Even so, we’ve sent out ten Active SETI interstellar radio messages to date. The most powerful Active SETI broadcast, and perhaps the most famous, is the Arecibo Message which was sent from Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory in 1974. The three minute message, encoded as a binary string of 1’s and 0’s, contained a map of the solar system indicating which planet had sent the message, information about human DNA, and a graphic figure of a human, among other things.

The Arecibo message when arranged rectangularly as 73 rows and 23 columns. Color added to highlight its separate parts.

This message was aimed at a globular star cluster about 25,000 light-years away, which means they won’t receive our message for another 24,959 years. This also means it would take an additional 25,000 years to receive a reply. An impractical form of communication for sure, the Arecibo message was more of a technology demonstration than a serious attempt to make contact.

Still, if intelligent life is out there, it will probably be several light-years away and may not communicate the same way humans do. Attempting a conversation will require concerted thought and patience. How does one construct an understandable message to a lifeform completely unfamiliar with humans? Mathematics is often considered to be a universal language on Earth, could it be the same on another planet?

While much research has already been done on this topic, Milner hopes to push that work further through a second initiative, Breakthrough Message: a $1 million international competition to construct a digital message that best represents humanity and planet Earth. Whether or not this message will be sent has yet to be decided.

$100 Million Breath of Life

In an interview with Space.com earlier this year, Frank Drake said “The situation with SETI is not good. The enterprise is falling apart for lack of funding. While NASA talks about ‘Are we alone?’ as a number one question, they are putting zero money into searching for intelligent life. There’s a big disconnect there.”

Large radio telescopes are expensive to maintain and operate. The Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope, costs around $8 million per year. The Lick Observatory, the first permanent mountaintop observatory in the world, runs at about $2.5 million per year. Both telescopes have been at risk of being completely defunded in the past few years.

The Parkes radio telescope in Australia also saw significant budget cuts just this past year.

At the same time, scientists are quickly discovering more and more planets that are the right size and right distance from their sun to be considered potentially habitable. These planets are quickly becoming our best bet at finding intelligent life.

On top of that, digital electronics and computers are following Moore’s law and becoming faster and cheaper. With the right funding, you can leverage this technology to search more of the sky more quickly than ever before.

For these reasons, Milner’s $100 million comes at a crucial and exciting moment. Breakthrough Listen is reserving significant time on each these telescopes over the course of the next decade, and in effect breathing back life into these programs.

We have yet to detect intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and there’s no guarantee that this money and effort will enable us to find ET in the next ten years. It’s expensive, it’s not easy, and it’s probably going to take a while. But to many, the question “Are we alone,” is worth it all. As long as we have people like Yuri Milner to foot the bill, the search will continue.

Rosetta studies Comet 67P at perihelion

This series of images of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko was captured by Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on 12 August 2015, just a few hours before the comet reached the closest point to the Sun, or perihelion, along its 6.5-year orbit. The images were taken from a distance of about 330 kilometres from the comet. The comet’s activity at its peak intensity around perihelion is clearly visible in this spectacular animation.

The European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft witnessed Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko making its closest approach to the Sun yesterday. The exact moment of perihelion occurred at 3:03am BST on 13 August when the comet came within 186 million kilometres (116 million miles) of the Sun.

In the year that has passed since Rosetta arrived, the comet has travelled some 750 million kilometres along its orbit towards the Sun, the increasing solar radiation heating up the nucleus and causing its frozen ices to escape as gas and stream out into space at an ever greater rate. These gases, and the dust particles that they drag along, build up the comet’s atmosphere – coma – and tail.

The activity reaches its peak intensity around perihelion and in the weeks that follow – and is clearly visible in the spectacular images returned by the spacecraft in the last months. One image taken by Rosetta’s navigation camera was acquired at 2:04am GMT, just an hour before the moment of perihelion, from a distance of around 327 kilometres (203 miles).

The scientific camera is also taking images yesterday – the most recent available image was taken at 12:31am BST on 13 August, just a few hours before perihelion. The comet’s activity is clearly seen in the images, with a multitude of jets stemming from the nucleus, including one outburst captured in an image taken at 6:35pm BST on 12 August.

“Activity will remain high like this for many weeks, and we’re certainly looking forward to seeing how many more jets and outburst events we catch in the act, as we have already witnessed in the last few weeks,” says Nicolas Altobelli, acting Rosetta project scientist.

Rosetta’s measurements suggest the comet is spewing up to 300kg of water vapour – roughly the equivalent of two bathtubs – every second. This is a thousand times more than was observed this time last year when Rosetta first approached the comet. Then, it recorded an outflow rate of just 300g per second, equivalent to two small glasses of water.

Along with gas, the nucleus is also estimated to be shedding up to 1000kg of dust per second, creating dangerous working conditions for Rosetta.

“In recent days, we have been forced to move even further away from the comet. We’re currently at a distance of between 325 and 340 kilometres this week, in a region where Rosetta’s startrackers can operate without being confused by excessive dust levels – without them working properly, Rosetta can’t position itself in space,” comments Sylvain Lodiot, ESA’s spacecraft operations manager.

Former Canadian Minister of Defense Says: we have to be careful when dealing with Alien beings, we Could trigger An Internstellar war

According to former Canadian Minister of Defense, we have to be careful when dealing with Alien beings, we could trigger an Interstellar war.

It looks like we need to watch what we are doing on Planet Earth. Former Canadian minister of defense Paul Hellyer has explicitly warned our military units to avoid shooting at UFOs.

As Minister of Defence, he oversaw the drastic and controversial integration and unification of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force into a single organization, the Canadian Forces. His position gave him access to several classified documents among which were those about Extraterrestrial life and UFOs.

Hellyer firmly believes that we are not the only intelligent species in the cosmos and believes that Earth has been visited by Extraterrestrial beings for thousands of years. Hellyer, a former politician, writer and commentator believes that alien beings still walk among us today.

During one of his interviews where he spoke about alien life and UFOs, Hellyer stated:

“[…]there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying south from Russia across Europe, and Supreme Allied Command was very concerned and about ready to push the ‘Panic’ button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole.”

“They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for 3 years and they decided that, with absolute certainty, four species – at least – had been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”

Just like Edgar Mitchell, the former defense minister believes that alien beings are very interested in our weapons of mass destruction, such as the nuclear bomb. Hellyer believes that UFO activity on Earth has drastically increased ever since we first tested the “Atomic bomb.” The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion-type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at New Mexico’s Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945.

Hellyer believes that the testing and use of weapons of mass destruction has caught the attention of extraterrestrial civilizations across the cosmos.

“They are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again, and this would be very bad for us and for them as well.”

The former defense minister believes that there are many species that inhabit the cosmos:
“There are about 80 different species and some of them look just like us and they could walk down the street and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one. They are what we call ‘Nordic blondes’ and also the Tall Whites who were actually working with the US Air Force in Nevada.”

“Then there’s the Short Greys as they are called, and they are the ones you see in most of the cartoons, they have very-very slim arms and legs, they are very short, just a little over 5 feet, and they have a great big head and great big brown eyes.”

Each species is, according to Hellyer, unique having its own agenda. Some of them look like us, while other species are totally different. Each one of them thinks differently.

But Hellyer also believes that the majority of extraterrestrial species that has visited Earth are benign and that these species are here to help us develop as a civilization.

“I would say that nearly all are benign and benevolent and they do want to help us, there may be one or two species which do not. That’s one of the things I’m investigating at the moment, to see who they are, what they are up to and what their agendas really are.”

We cannot forget that our inferior technology is something to think about when approaching aliens. If these beings have the ability of interstellar travel, huge spaceships that defy known physics, then they certainly must have extremely advanced weaponry. We should exercise caution when dealing with aliens. But just how cautious do we have to be? Is an “Alien invasion” upon us?

“I think it’s a possibility,” says Hellyer. “But it’s a possibility especially if we shoot down every UFO that comes into our airspace without asking who they are and what they want. Right from the beginning we started scrambling planes, trying to shoot them down, but their technology was superior enough that we weren’t able to get away with it, certainly not for a long while.”

“During that period of time they could have taken us over without any trouble if they wanted to, so I think, rather than developing our own Star Wars to protect ourselves against them, we should work with the benign species that are of a vast majority and work together, and rely largely on them, of course, and cooperate, so that we would be contributing something at the same time; I don’t think there’s any point in us developing a galactic force that would tempt us to ride on our own and get into mischief, which is one of the things that some of them are concerned about.”

Hellyer believes that different Alien species are interacting between them, and even though most of them have their own interest, they share a similar goal.

“they may be interacting between themselves – I suspect that they are because there is what is called a ‘Federation’ of these people and they have rules. For example, one of the rules is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited to – and that’s one of the reasons, probably, that we haven’t seem more of them until very recently…”

According to Hellyer, Extraterrestrial beings are very concerned about the future of mankind:

“They don’t want to tell us how to run our affairs, they have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and that we have the right to run it, but they are very concerned: they don’t think we are good stewards of our planet, we’re clear cutting our forests, we’re polluting our rivers and our lakes, and we’re dumping sewage in the oceans, and we’re doing all sorts of things which are not what good stewards of their homes should be doing.”

But we have been given a chance, a chance to do better, a chance to learn from our mistakes and a chance to take care of our planet which is very unique. Hellyer added:

“The Cosmos is based on free choice. We’re given the option of making mistakes, of making wrong choices, and I guess, what bothers some of us, is that we’ve made too many wrong choices, and not enough right choices.”

“So we’re going to have to start switching our priorities and stop spending so much time and effort on weapons to kill each other, or to dominate each other, and spend a lot more time on how to help each other to have a better life and a more just society, and life which is healthier.”

“Our future as a species, and here I mean all of the species in the world, is potentially at risk if we don’t figure what’s going on and work together and try to make life more amenable for all of us, and to work with our neighbors from other planets as well.”

Vétéran de la NASA: les OVNIs ont sauvé la Terre de la guerre nucléaire

Plusieurs OVNIs ont été vus au-dessus du polygone White Sands lors du premier essai de la bombe nucléaire en 1945. Désormais, l'intelligence extraterrestre veillait sur le polygone et devenait plus active lors des confrontations entre les USA et l'URSS, affirme le vétéran de l’aérospatiale Edgar Mitchell.

L'astronaute américain affirme se référer aux données des officiers haut placés du ministère américain de la Défense, rapporté le NASA Mirror. D'après lui, les visites récurrentes des extraterrestres sont dues à leur mission d'avertir, les autorités des pays prenant part à la guerre froide, des opérations militaires où l'arme fatale pourrait être utilisée.

Pour justifier sa théorie, l'astronaute cite des cas d'indisponibilité du système d'arme nucléaire.

Il affirme également avoir parlé aux officiers des forces aériennes qui auraient vu des objets non-identifiés et "à ces moments-là, les lance-missiles étaient hors service sans aucune raison". Plusieurs autres officiers auraient confié à l'explorateur de l'espace que leurs missiles auraient été neutralisés par des véhicules spatiaux étranges.

Pourtant, Nick Pope, ex enquêteur sur les observations d'OVNIs du service américain des OVNIs bien que persuadé que M. Mitchell soit l'un des hommes les plus honnêtes dans le monde, est sceptique vis-à-vis de sa théorie, avoue-t-il dans son commentaire pour le NASA Mirror. Dans sa logique, il se réfère à d'autres gens dont on ne sait pas au juste s'ils avaient accès à une information secrète.

Nick Pope, quant à lui, propose sa version de l'apparition des OVNIs. Leurs apparitions fréquentes non loin de bases militaires seraient dues aux essais des engins aériens secrets.

'Sacred sinkhole' discovered under 1,000-year-old Mayan temple... and it may eventually destroy the pyramid

• The cenote, or natural sinkhole, stretches 114ft long and is up to 65ft deep
• It is capped by 13ft of limestone which is gradually being washed away
• Experts have found it is connected to other caverns and lakes in the area
• They say it may have had deep religious significance to the Mayan culture 

By RICHARD GRAY FOR MAILONLINE

It is a towering testament to a long dead civilisation and has fascinated archaeologists for more than 150 years, but one of the most famous Mayan pyramids has been hiding a secret beneath its mighty steps.

Researchers have discovered an enormous sinkhole beneath the 1,000-year-old Temple of Kukulkan, also known as El Castillo, which dominates the Mayan city of Chichen Itza in the northern Yucatan Peninusula of Mexico.

And they fear the underground cavern, or cenote, which has a river running through it, may eventually cause the entire pyramid to collapse if its roof gives way.

Archaeologists have discovered the Temple of Kukulkan, which was built by the Maya around 1,000 years ago to worship a snake god, has a huge cenote, or sinkhole, beneath it. They believe it may have been built on top of the cavern deliberately as it may have had deep religious significance to the ancient civilisation

Experts believe the huge chamber may have had special significance for the Mayans, who worshipped at the pyramid, as it is thought to be connected to other sinkhole lakes that surround the pyramid by underground rivers.

It may also be linked to another location known as the High Priest's Grave, or the Ossuary, a smaller pyramid with a sanctuary in the centre which was used as a communal graveyard.

Andrés Tejero-Andrade, one of the archaeologists at Mexico’s National Autonomous University who have been leading the research, said the Mayans may have built the Temple of Kukulkan around 900 to 1,100 years ago on top of the cavern as part of their religious beliefs.

Kukulkan is a Mayan snake deity, or a feathered serpent, who grew up inside and cave before emerging in an earthquake.

Dr Tejero-Andrade said the pyramid may have been built to symbolise the underworld, creation and water.

He said: ‘It appears that El Castillo is dedicated to that element and talk of a water Kukulcan, a snake moving in the water.’

The forming sinkhole beneath the temple is around 82 feet (25 metres) by 114 feet (35 metres) and up to 65 feet deep (20 metres).

The water filling the cavern is thought to run from north to south.

The researchers, who are due to present their findings at an international geophysics conference in Turin in Italy next month, made the discovery using a technique known as an electrical resistance survey.

This uses metal probes inserted into the ground to get a reading for resistance of electrical flow though the ground. Where there is water the resistance changes compared to the rock.

Empty air has a very high resistance reading as the current cannot pass through the air while it is easily transmitted through water.

The researchers say they found there is a layer of limestone about 16ft (5 metres) thick at the top of the cenote, which the pyramid is currently sitting on.

Dr Rene Chavez Segura, a geologist with the National Autonomous University in Mexico, said the high humidity in the cavern and running water could eventually undermine the pyramid.

He said: "Such structures change over time, because the water washed off the walls and the cavity may be increasing.

‘At some point, if the thickness of the rock below the pyramid is thinned, there could be a problem of stability and El Castilla will collapse.’

However, he added this may not happen within his lifetime or even for many generations to come.

Scientists discover sacred sinkhole cave under Mayan pyramid

The researchers used a technique known as an electrical resistance survey to measure the ground beneath the Temple of Kukulkan. They found a large 65 feet deep cavern beneath the pyramid which has water running through it, as shown in the graphic above. Experts fear it may eventually collapse and destroy the structure

The Maya who built Chichen Itza came to dominate  the Yucatan Peninsula in southeast Mexico, shown above

The researchers also found the cenote under the pyramid is also connected to underground caverns and sinkhole lakes to the north, west and east of the pyramid.

Dr Chavez Segura said: "This is not uncommon in a karst soil and the Yucatan.

‘Usually, at depth, the cenotes are interconnected and form a network of tunnels where the water runs free. This forms the natural water network on the peninsula.’

In some areas of Mexico cenotes were used as natural wells or water supplies for ancient civilisations.

The name Chichen Itza also means "at the mouth of the well of the Itza' - the Mayan ethnic group that ruled the area..

Archaeologist Guillermo de Anda, who was not involved in the study, said the underground network of tunnels and caverns may have been symbolic to the Mayans.

Experts say the underground cavern is also connected to other sinkholes and caverns to the north, east and west of the Kukulkan pyramid, including the High Priest's grave, marked El Osario in the map above

The Temple of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza is thought to have been built for the worship of the Mayan snake deity. As a result the water and underground cavern may have been significant in its construction, say experts

He said the cenotes that surround the pyramid could represent the four points of the compass.

The river at the center might represent the center of the Maya's universe, which they thought of as a tree with roots reaching below ground.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History also said research at another Mayan site, Uxmal, found an usually high number of medicinal plants growing nearing the structure known as the governor's palace.

Uxmal site director Jose Huchim Herrera said the concentration of such plants was so much higher in the sacred area than in surrounding fields, that it indicates the Mayas planted them there intentionally as a sort of medicinal garden. The site has about 150 species used to treat snake bites, stomach infections and fevers.
