Weer groot moederschip gsignaleerd volgens iNDIASE televisie
Weer groot moederschip gsignaleerd volgens iNDIASE televisie
India is de laatste tijd behoorlijk in het nieuws voor wat betreft vreemde verschijningen in de lucht.
Op het vliegveld van Delhi ontstond nogal wat paniek omdat men verschillende keren op de radar een vreemd object had waargenomen. Afgelopen vrijdag werd er dan ook groot alarm geslagen toen dit drie maal op dezelfde dag voor kwam.
Ongeveer rond dezelfde tijd en niet zo gek ver daar vandaan wordt in de staat Uttar Pradesh opnieuw iets geks waargenomen.
Een aantal jonge mensen vierden klaarblijkelijk een verjaardagsfeest in een lokaal park toen plotseling het weer begon te veranderen. Ze bleven toch nog een tijdje en nadat ze de verjaardagstaart hadden aangesneden, besloten ze om nog wat foto’s te maken.
Het was op deze beelden dat er iets merkwaardigs tevoorschijn kwam. Achter de jongeman op de foto zie je duidelijk iets dat lijkt op een groot moederschip zoals we dat al eerder in die regio hebben gezien.
Dit voorval heeft de nodige publiciteit gekregen in India waar ook op televisie aandacht werd besteed aan deze gebeurtenis.
Alhoewel we de taal niet kunnen verstaan, lijkt het alsof in de reportage verschillende mensen vertellen dat ze een onbekend object, een UFO, in de lucht hebben waargenomen.
Door wetenschappers is het verschijnsel uiteraard afgedaan als een vreemde wolk.
Via een lezer (dank!) kregen we de volgende fotocompilatie opgestuurd die zou zijn verschenen op een Facebook pagina.
Het verhaal dat erbij wordt verteld is dat de opnames zijn gemaakt in het Amerikaanse Memphis door vier verschillende mensen onafhankelijk van elkaar.
Deze beelden lijken als twee druppels water op die uit China waar toeristen op een boot een dergelijk object in de lucht zouden hebben gezien. Een object waarvan men later tot de conclusie kwam dat het een photoshop gevalletje was.
Waarmee dus ook de beelden uit Memphis naar de prullenbak kunnen verdwijnen.
Tot nu toe heeft nog niemand kunnen aantonen dat de beelden uit India niet echt zouden zijn. Misschien komt dat nog, maar misschien ook niet en bovendien hebben we daar natuurlijk ook nog de vreemde ervaring van de verkeersleiding op het vliegveld.
Een ding is zeker, met zoveel “grappenmakers” op internet wordt vooral beeldmateriaal met de dag ongeloofwaardiger als het UFO waarnemingen betreft.
Skull Shaped Asteroid 205 TB145 Is Warning From Aliens, Nov 2015, UFO Sighting News.
Skull Shaped Asteroid 205 TB145 Is Warning From Aliens, Nov 2015, UFO Sighting News.
Date of photo: Oct 30, 2013 Location of discovery: Flying past Earth Name of discovery: Asteroid 2015 TB145 NASA source:http://www.nasa.gov/feature/halloween-skies-to-include-dead-comet-flyby This skull shaped asteroid is not the only asteroid ever to appear like a face. Remember the singing asteroid that was sending out radio transmissions for the last 20 years? Thats right, comet 67P is in the shape and shoulders of an alien species.
But this this skull is different in that it sends a different message than 67P and its greeting. This sends a warning. A warning that this area of space is controlled with force and they are more than happy to prove it. Earth falls into their territory, so yes, they are a threat to us, however other species try to protect Earth. This species that made this skull is dangerous. These are the dangers humanity will face when exploring space and other worlds. Not all species are kind. Some, like the ones that made this skull, want 100% control or death. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
NASA State: The large space rock that will zip past Earth this Halloween is most likely a dead comet that, fittingly, bears an eerie resemblance to a skull. Scientists observing asteroid 2015 TB145 with NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, have determined that the celestial object is more than likely a dead comet that has shed its volatiles after numerous passes around the sun. The belated comet has also been observed by optical and radar observatories around the world, providing even more data, including our first close-up views of its surface. Asteroid 2015 TB145 will safely fly by our planet at just under 1.3 lunar distances, or about 302,000 miles (486,000 kilometers), on Halloween (Oct. 31) at 1 p.m. EDT (10 a.m. PDT, 17:00 UTC). The first radar images of the dead comet were generated by the National Science Foundation's 305-meter (1,000-foot) Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
The radar images from Arecibo indicate the object is spherical in shape and approximately 2,000 feet (600 meters) in diameter and completes a rotation about once every five hours. "The IRTF data may indicate that the object might be a dead comet, but in the Arecibo images it appears to have donned a skull costume for its Halloween flyby," said Kelly Fast, IRTF program scientist at NASA Headquarters and acting program manager for NASA's NEO Observations Program. Managed by the University of Hawaii for NASA, the IRTF's 3-meter (10 foot) telescope collected infrared data on the object. The data may finally put to rest the debate over whether 2015 TB145, with its unusual orbit, is an asteroid or is of cometary origin. "We found that the object reflects about six percent of the light it receives from the sun," said Vishnu Reddy, a research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Arizona. "That is similar to fresh asphalt, and while here on Earth we think that is pretty dark, it is brighter than a typical comet which reflects only 3 to 5 percent of the light. That suggests it could be cometary in origin –- but as there is no coma evident, the conclusion is it is a dead comet.”
A NASA feed from the ISS appears to capture a glowing white craft. A second white UFO has been recorded on video close to the International Space Station (ISS) as well. The live stream from the orbiting base shows strange white light glowing in the blackness of space.
YouTube channel Hidden Cams posted the video online on November 4, 2015. It shows the UFO moves out of shot gradually.
It could be a piece of space debris flying around the cosmos. However, it’s the second time in two days that an object has been caught passing the space station.
In an earlier video, camera operator of NASA pans left and then zooms in on a brilliant light.
The UFO looks like one of the fierce foo fighters described by fighter pilots during World War II. Because of the light’s brightness, the camera can’t focus properly.
The object also seems to track the ISS as it is moving at the same speed behind it. The astronauts on board the ISS look like they are showing concern about the glowing object close to them, so perhaps the public should be too.
However, identifying a UFO as a foo fighter doesn’t offer the public much knowledge about it and who controlling it.
A witness from Texas reported that her 10-year-old daughter photographed an unknown bright light from their moving vehicle while in Frisco. They later discovered that the light was a cylinder-shaped UFO, according to the MUFON Case 71761.
The witness and her daughter were travelling south with their car along Warren Street when the latter snapped a photo of the UFO. According to the reporting witness, her daughter was amazed at the brilliant light coming from that side. Her daughter then took out her phone and took a picture. They quickly realized that the direction wasn’t the spot where natural sunlight came from. When the child looked at her phone, she noticed that the mysterious object was hovering to their right side.
They did not see anything in the sky from a distance in the spot where her daughter captured a UFO in a photograph. However, the lights seemed to be so bright when they got closer. That was the time her daughter took a picture of it.
The reporting witness provided one image with the MUFON report, which was filed on 22 October 2015. Texas MUFON investigator Thomas Diamond looked into the case and closed it as Unknown.
NASA Wetenschappers van de Amerikaanse ruimteorganisatie NASA hebben het mysterie van de verdwenen atmosfeer van Mars opgelost. Het is de zon die van Mars de dorre, koude planeet heeft gemaakt die ze nu is.
Sinds de ontdekking dat er ooit op Mars veel water aanwezig was, heeft de NASA last van marskoorts. Een jaar geleden heeft de Amerikaanse satelliet Maven de planeet bereikt en stuurt sindsdien informatie door die nieuwe inzichten geeft over de geschiedenis van de rode planeet.
Wetenschappers gaan er van uit dat Mars vroeger een erg dikke atmosfeer met veel koolstofdioxide (CO2) had. De planeet zou daardoor veel warmer zijn geweest dan vandaag de dag. Nu is Mars een grote koude, droge woestijn.
Zonnestormen
De atmosfeer met de CO2 is waarschijnlijk grotendeels weggeblazen door grote uitbarstingen van de zon. NASA komt tot deze bevinding nadat Maven eerder dit jaar een grote zonnestorm vastlegde.
In tegenstelling tot de aarde heeft Mars geen magnetisch veld om zijn atmosfeer te beschermen, waardoor die kwetsbaar is voor de ultravioletstraling van de zon en ontploffingen van gas en magnetische deeltjes die vrijkomen van de zon tijdens zonnestormen. Op 8 maart kon Maven vastleggen hoe zo'n storm delen van de atmosfeer van Mars wegblies. Die uitbarsting leidde tot dramatische pieken in het aantal zuurstof- en koolstofdioxide-ionen die de ruimte werden ingeblazen.
Deze bevindingen kunnen wetenschappers helpen te begrijpen hoe Mars van een eens waterrijke, warme wereld, waar misschien zelfs leven mogelijk was, transformeerde tot de dorre woestijn die de planeet vandaag is.
"De belangrijkste vraag die we willen beantwoorden is of het klimaat van Mars veranderde door een verlies in de ruimte of door een ander proces", zegt hoofdonderzoeker van Maven Bruce Jakosky van de universiteit van Colorado. "Door te berekenen hoeveel gas er verloren is gegaan in de ruimte, hopen we te kunnen vaststellen of het om een belangrijk proces gaat."
Bovenstaande video legt grafisch uit hoe zonnestormen de atmosfeer van Mars konden wegblazen.
Noorderlicht
Een andere vaststelling van Maven is dat er op Mars een soort noorderlicht te zien is. Dat 'aura' wordt wellicht veroorzaakt door het magnetische veld in de korst van de planeet, in tegenstelling tot de magnetische polen van de aarde.

Astronauts Saw UFOs
NASA astronauts, Frank Borman left flying with James Lovell (of Apollo 13 fame right), and William Anders center emerging from the dark side of the moon during their historic first circumlunar mission apparently saw a UFO.
On December 25, 1968, “Santa Claus” was the Apollo-8, mission code used if sighting a strange object such as a UFO.
The mission took the famous Earthrise photo of the Earth just above the Moon’s horizon.
Millions of people were listening when Frank Lovell transmits to Houston.
Apollo 8: Christmas at the Moon
Four hours after entering orbit, another SPS burn—this time thankfully shorter at just 11 seconds—adjusted Apollo 8’s path around the Moon into a near-perfect 69-mile circle. Then, at 10:37 a.m. EST on 24 December, the astronauts became the first humans to witness “Earthrise” from behind the lunar limb. Borman was in the process of turning the spacecraft,
when all at once Anders yelled: “Oh my God! Look at that picture over there.” It would become a running, though light-hearted, competition among the crew over who took the “Earthrise Picture,” which has since become world-famous: a shot of the Home Planet, a pretty blue-and-white marble, rising in the void above the Moon’s grey-brown surface. It was Anders who snapped one of the most iconic images of the Space Age. In perhaps no other image has the beauty, fragility, and loneliness of Earth been captured with more meaning.
The crew entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, December. 24, 1968. That evening, the astronauts held a live broadcast, showing pictures of the Earth
Millions around the world were watching and listening as the Apollo 8 astronauts – Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders – became the first humans to orbit another world. It seemed inevitable, after thousands of years of watching and wondering about the Moon, that humanity’s first visit would be commemorated in a spiritual way. Before the launch, Borman, Lovell, and Anders had discussed this issue at length with friends and concluded that they would read the story of Creation from the first 10 verses of Genesis. During their ninth orbit, on their second live telecast from the Moon, they read it. “We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.”
“‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ‘And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. ‘ And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. ‘And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.‘”[4]
Jim Lovell
“‘And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. ‘And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ‘And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. ‘And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.’”[4]
Frank Borman
“‘And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. ‘And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.’”
“And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.”
Years later, Anders would win praise from environmentalists for his assertion that Apollo 8’s goal was to explore the Moon … and what it really did was discover the Earth!
It is reported that an unidentified language was picked up on one of the NASA frequencies used during the mission. “
Eight minutes into Christmas morning, three days and 17 hours after launch, and the return home got underway when the SPS engine was ignited to increase their speed by 2,300 mph (3,700 km/h). As they rounded the Moon for the last time, Lovell told Capcom Ken Mattingly, who was just coming on duty in Houston, “Please be informed there is a Santa Claus.” Mattingly replied that they were the best ones to know.
During James Lovell’s flight on Gemini 7 as a 1965 operated spaceflight in NASA‘s Gemini program. It was the fourth manned Gemini flight, the twelfth manned American flight. Lovell is reported to have taken some magnificent photographs of two mushroom shaped UFO’s on December 4. The pictures seem to show the glow of a propulsion system on the underside. The pictures were taken at a range of several hundred yards.
Lovell also witnessed an incident during flight Gemini 12 XII Gemini 12 (officially Gemini XII) was a 1966manned spaceflight in NASA‘s Project Gemini. It was the 10th and final manned Gemini flight, (James Lovell, Edwin Aldrin):
On November 12, 1966, both astronauts are reported to have spotted two UFO’s a 1/2 mile from the spacecraft. They were observed for some period of time and photographs were taken.
James Lovell While flying with several other USAF pilots over Germany in 1957, we sighted numerous radiant flying discs above us. We couldn’t tell how high they were. We couldn’t get anywhere near their altitude.”
UFOs Ships of God Bible Symbolism
Gary Colin writes, “I’ve studied the Bible for about 40 years. About 1992, I was inspired to take the name, “gat”. In 2005, I wrote, “Bible Symbolism What It Means to Your Salvation“. The Bible associates the word, “gat” with regeneration. I realized that regeneration is really a scientific “change” as opposed to a spiritual one. I reinvestigated the Bible from a scientific view point, and began to see that the Biblical clouds are the ships of “God” (Psalm Chapter 104; Ezekiel Chapter 1).
I have also learned that God “sits” and rides in a “Mother Mountain” which He calls “Jerusalem” or “Zion” (Galatians 4:26; Revelation 21:1-5; Matthew 24:30-34). The Bible promised that as our earthly life without “God’s” direct presence comes to its end, that “enlightened” information would be given to us(Daniel Chapters 11 and 12).
Jesus is talking to his disciples, “Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14-2
We’ve reached that time. The “Elohim” of the Bible supervised by the Almighty God to oversee the creation and growth of “humans”. It will be these “Sons of the Gods (Elohim)” who return at this world’s end. Just as in the Days of Noah (Genesis 6:1-10; Matthew 24:30-end). Thanks to Gary Colin
Russia Using Advanced Weapons in Syria
On October 14, Dr. Preston James, a columnist with Veterans Today, made startling claims about Russia using advanced weapons system developed through a secret agreement with extraterrestrial visitors in an article titled, “Putin’s Wild Card in Syria.”
Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum
James’ article analyses the game-changing nature of Putin’s military intervention in Syria, and the nature of the extraterrestrial inspired weapons systems used to devastating effect:
What exactly do the Russians now have as far as ultra high-tech weaponry? The list is long, but includes supersonic torpedoes, which create their own ability to travel through matter surrounding their path using inter-dimensional cloaking. Russia has missiles which, after launch, operate as if they are “hived” and use inter-dimensional entangled communication to evade interception, to regroup and to re-target, taking strange flight patterns which can change from straight to spirals to semi circles and more. Some insiders believe that the Russians now have the ability to generate inter-dimensional cloaking of some of their stealth aircraft and missiles, making them undetectable.
ISIS continues to insist, “It brought down a Russian plane that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, providing no new details. In an audio statement posted on social media sites on Wednesday, IS said, it would announce the details of the alleged attack when it chooses.Thanks to Veterans Today
Flying Triangles over England
Victor J. Kean reports that Project FT is reviewing hundreds of reports of Flying Triangles (FT) over southeastern England during the 1990s and early 2000s. Most of the sightings were near three important nuclear power stations near the coast. We can only speculate why these craft are flying over this area almost nightly along the red track.
Sizewell Nuclear Power Station (NPS) on the Suffolk coast and Bradwell NPS in Essex are located 45 miles apart. The Kent coast at its nearest point (Isle of Grain) to Bradwell is about 27 miles further south. The FT have also been reported over Tihange, a nuclear power station with 3 cooling towers in Belgium. There is some evidence the craft are taking electrical or magnetic energy from the plants or power lines. There is a measurable decline in the transmission of electrical power particularly during rainy weather according to engineers.
Within 10 miles of either side of this flight-path, there are significant military and government facilities such as Bentwaters–Lakenheath AFB (disused) RAF Woodbridge, RAF Alconbury, and RAF Bawdsey (electronics research). The flying triangles might be examining important military facilities and ports.
Victor states, “We received a report from Observer ‘B’ a year before Observer ‘A’ emerged, so it was quite pleasing when we entered the latter report into our database and discovered that the two sightings were only 5 minutes and 11 miles in space. Equally of interest, these reports highlighted that the object had on more than one occasion, been seen by Observer ‘A’ ten minutes before arriving at Observer ‘C’ who was even further south in the area of a nuclear power station.
Detractors claim the FT are some rather slow moving stealth ‘airships’ belonging to either the RAF or the USAF. Some stealth chasers have been studying the small, silver-colored triangle aircraft that flies out of RAF Wharton. The idea that the FT is a ‘black budget’ aircraft is a theory by those who dismiss the alien possibilities. Complicating the matter are the many witnesses who describe exceptional speed and maneuverability relating to these triangles, such as flat pivot turns or incredible acceleration. The problem with *that* theory is where does one get pilots who are capable of withstanding the high G-Forces and other ‘shape-shifting’ capabilities displayed by the FT.
Also, why would the RAF or the USAF aircraft randomly hover for 5 to 25 minutes over a Nuclear Power Station on a nightly basis? After all, any readings or inspection can be carried out by the staff on the ground. There are a few ‘lone’ FT reports from 1960 to 1988 in the vicinity of UK Nuclear Power Stations. There are 16 reports from 1989, and 92. Additional reports from 1990 showed 71 were over Sizewell NPS, Suffolk. The NPS were visited by orange or yellow ‘Spheres’ or 24% of the total. Apart from the odd exception, the FT was always described as displaying three white apex ‘lights’ and with a single red ‘light’ in the center of the underside. The FT was described as “black” or as a “triangular pattern of lights.” A grey-colored Disk shape was also seen on one occasion that year.
It appears the FT is a source of infrared, which erases or nearly erases images on photographs made with a short exposure time. This is the “Herschel effect,” a perfectly respectable scientific phenomenon. We suggest using ordinary film and long exposure times, like Ektachrome ED 200 ASA, with two second’s exposure times. A long established UFO Research groups in the three counties involved has been on regular ‘Skywatch’ in Rendlesham Forest for the past five years. They’ve recorded the ‘comings and goings’ of the FT
Jean-Pierre Pharabod of France, an excellent researcher, writes the evidence includes numerous newspaper reports about the British Flying Triangles. These include: the Cornishman-Penzance newspaper on 6 July 1995, the Southport Visitor newspaper on 8 March 1996; the Daily Mail Weekend on 9 March 1996, as well as a rather long article in the Manchester Guardian.
Another article entitled, ‘A Flying Triangle of Fear’ was published in the ‘News of the World’: It stated, “The bizarre flying triangle hovered almost silently above the tiny hamlet of Hollesley in Suffolk for 20 minutes. Frightened children fled indoors and stunned villagers watched open-mouthed as three bright white lights hung motionless in the night sky. The UFO finally zoomed off making a high-pitched whining noise, ‘nothing like an aeroplane or helicopter’ according to eyewitnesses! A baker, Ron Macro was out on his rounds when the eerie lights came over the trees. ‘We froze,’ said 41-year old Ron, of St Austel Grove, Kesgrave, near Ipswich. ‘The lights were in a triangle and remained perfectly still.’ Several minutes passed. Then the lights moved. ‘Whatever was in the sky flew over us. The lights beamed down and we heard a high-pitched whine,‘ added Ron.
Pretty Debbie Foreman and her pal, Pauline Osborne, experienced the most frightening episode in the latest UFO incident. Strange things suddenly started happening to their car as they drove under the mysterious lights. ‘The headlights on the car dimmed and the engine cut out,’ said Debbie, 21, of Heath View, Leiston, Suffolk. ‘Until then the car had behaved quite normally. But everything seemed to go wrong.” The silent (only emitting sound when moving?), hovering, low altitude object, directed beams of light downward and eventually departed at great speed. Captain Kathleen McCullom, Public Affairs at RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters stated: “Nothing was seen on radar. I cannot say more than that.”The article is dated 23 October 1983, and may be the first UK newspaper report of a ‘flying triangle’ and origin of that terminology?
Additionally, there are numerous articles about the Bentwaters and ‘Rendlesham Forest’ incidents in the early1980’s, as described in Colonel Halt’s memo to the Ministry of Defence.
Most reports still originate from the US and there are comparative, earlier reports to be found in the US media. On the subject matter, I’m surprised to see so few, if any, references to Ellen Crystal’s book, ‘Silent Invasion’, which documented her alleged encounters with ‘flying triangles,’ long before this was a topical facet. Her sketches are also noticeably similar to later descriptions and drawings of said beast. Thanks to: Victor J. Kean Project FT, Jean-Pierre Pharabod and Current Encounters.
Ellen Crystal writes, “I mention probably 100 people in my book who have had sightings in Pine Bush, New York with and without me. I don’t work in a vacuum, as some people would make me out to do. The Appendix in Silent Invasion contains eye-witness statements by many people who came to Pine Bush and had UFO encounters of various types.”
After her book was initially released, thousands of people from all over the world showed up in Pine Bush lining the streets of this small town. Many hundreds of people saw UFOs took photographs and video on a regular nightly basis, of craft and related phenomena. Pine Bush was extremely active until about 1996, when it began to quiet down. (Many residents have also had encounters with UFOs including abductions.)
There is a 12 minute continuous segment of one large craft (part of a major sighting in NY state in which 1,000 or more people saw 3 or 4 large craft across lower NY state) Thanks to the late Ellen Crystal.

Sightings of UFOs in the United States
California Strange Lights
Fresno – On October 28, 2015, a UFO moved quickly and disappeared.
It moved to the sun and disappeared.
I saw it floating. At first, I thought it was a plane, but then it moved around so freely. Planes can’t do that.
Note:THE UFO IS NOT A LENS FLARE.
The witness saw the object and described it as unusual.
Phelan — I had filmed some neat clouds on October 22, 2015, and a week later, I was showing a friend the different things I had filmed. When we saw, something blink to the left of the screen. We both at the same time said, “What was that?” I replayed it repeatedly and stopped it “frame by frame. When I did that I could not believe what I was seeing was the proverbial saucer shape. She got creepy big time. I had not see it in sky at all as it was moving so fast. I started shaking and was terrified actually. I laughed, then started crying. It has absolutely changed me. I have always believed in extraterrestrials, but damn. It also made a strange sound. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Rectangle
Keaton Beach — My friend and I were fishing in Keaton Beach and after pulling the boat out of the water on October 11, 2015, we noticed a big object in the sky to the west. It was a big rectangular shaped object moving very slow towards the south.
We had no idea what the object was when we first saw it so a UFO came to mind. We took two pictures 40 feet apart from the same road.
The object appeared to be moving the whole 30 minutes that we watched it. We had to leave the area while the object was still in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Rachael – I was taking a photo of how vast the desert is on September 6, 2010
This object was not visible at the time the photo was taken. I told my daughter her windshield was too dirty to take pictures through it, so I made her pull over.
I got out of the car and took this photo.

New Jersey Metallic Saucer and Floating City
Montvale/Park Ridge — I saw an object that I could not recognize on July 22, 2015 at 10:15 pm. Shortly after I drove north past the Montvale service area of the Garden State Parkway, my view of the object was extremely clear of an object 150 feet across. It was about 1/2 mile away just above the tree line. It seemed to be moving slowly to the north and I was able to get much closer to the object.
It had an illuminated silver-metallic classic saucer appearance with a slightly flattened rim that projected around the middle. As I headed further north, it was brightest on the bottom with a golden glow, fading further up the object to orange, reddish, and then dark on top. It changed to an all dusky orange color with three red lights on the bottom and looked like the planet Saturn with a ring around it. Object is similar to this disc seen over Tennessee. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ramsey — Traveling south on Route 17, my wife and I observed a city directly ahead of us en-route to the Olive Garden restaurant on October 29, 2015. Floating in the clouds and gleaming with a pinkish, sunset-type hue was a city. The buildings were all in neat rows, and all buildings were rectangular. There were a few that resembled skyscrapers, and there was a very prominent skyscraper in the front middle row of the buildings. There are no cities resembling it in New Jersey or anywhere south of our observed location. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Orb
Robbinsville – I went for a short hike with my child on a mountain in Nantahala Forest on November 2, 2015. Taking pictures of flowers and the overcast landscape, I noticed an object as a glare on the lens. I saw it again in a different picture that I had taken a little farther down the trail. So I looked closer at the two pictures and noticed the light had moved down the trail. I looked at it closely and zooming in on it, I noticed that it had distinct features. It had moved from hovering to the next picture in which it had receded in to the woods. I have no idea what it is but it wasn’t glare or debris on the lenses. It was taken on a Samsung Galaxy 16mp phone. Many of my friends and family have seen these pictures and none of us can come up with an explanation. I hope these pictures will help you with your investigations. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Lights
Levittown — I was inside the house when my son called me to tell me that he could see lights across state lines on October 17, 2015. I tried to debunk it by looking for rays of light from a light show but there were not any that evening. The objects were in white color, circling in which at one point one of them change direction on a dime. Being intuitive allowed me to witness a lot of energy discharge in the air as well as being able to see energy discharge within in the clouds. I felt as though I was in another world to be honest. I came in the house to review my video for 3-5 minutes. I then went outside and they were gone. The clouds and the UFO’s were gone. They came back again and were covered within the clouds that suddenly appeared. Also, being intuitive, I can hear different frequencies and I have heard weird sound waves with what sounds like people mumbling. I only hear again this late at night. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Lights
Dallas— Driving into my gated apartment complex, I looked up and saw a chevron shaped formation on October 28, 2015.
The lights were chevron shape and orange-red. The formation did not emit sound.
As I continued to observe, 3-4 solid orange-red “orbs” followed the chevron- equidistantly spaced. I started to record this event with my phone after a minute or so all of the lights disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Utah Moon
Huntington — On October 26, 2015, I was photographing the sunset I noticed a beautiful moonrise over Cedar Mountain. At 6:40 PM, I used a 150-500 mm Sigma optically stabilized lens with a 1.4 tele-converter attached. With the 0.6X cropping factor of the sensor on the Canon T4i camera the total focal length was 1160 mm at the 500mm setting. I brushed any dust off the lens and noticed a triangular object. Between the first and second photo, I switched the camera to manual in order to bracket exposures. The object moved across the face of the moon and I snapped another picture, which was slightly over exposed. The last image shows the object (shadow?) just right of top center of the moon’s face and disappears following the moon’s curvature. The ISO for all images was 400 and shutter speeds were 1/20th of a second to 1/30th at an aperture of f-9. I am convinced it is an opaque object because the pixels block light reflected from the moon; the dark triangular area appears to be uniform in all the photos and clearly, blocks reflected light.

Clinton — My fiancé and I were driving home from on Whidbey Island to Clinton when as we crested a hill on October 27, 2015 and saw five bright yellow objects.
It appeared to be ‘hanging’ in the air over Puget Sound as if the lights were strung together. My fiancé did not see them. As we went down the hill, I lost sight of the lights. I was very curious to see them again, and to have her see them. These lights were not ‘normal’ for the area and they were not aircraft lights or Chinese lanterns. We went to a beach called Double Bluff on South Whidbey Island and the lights were varying their brightness. Initially they just hovered and then slowly moved away. Two remained in view and gradually became much brighter (see photo). Eventually they all gradually faded and disappeared. Then others appeared, and brightened. There were aircraft visible flying into SeaTac Airport. Through binoculars, the objects were emitting too much light to determine their shape, though one suddenly ‘morphed’ into a triangular form. All had a pulsing red light in the center. There was a low constant pulsating bass sound. They were exactly what the term ‘UFO’ means — Unidentified Flying Objects. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Australia Triangle
Stanhope Gardens – I was sitting on my patio at 18:40 hours on December 16, 2013, and noticed a small black object hovering in the sky. The object was hovering in the northern sky.
At first, I thought it may be a kite but it just hung there. I grabbed my iPhone and took three photos at different magnifications.
I watched the object for a while and then went back inside. Next time I came out it was gone. I did nothing about these photos but kept them. Today, I watched a documentary called “The Phoenix Incident” that showed a triangular craft being pursued by an F-15 that reminded me of my photo. The photo was taken with an iPhone.

Perth— Green orb photographed on Monday night October 26, 2015 at 8.15 pm, when photographing the Red moon. I noticed after taking pictures that I had two photos with green orb in two positions near the moon Thanks Jim Edwards Ascot W.A.
Canada UFO
Edmonton — We were trick-or-treating in our neighborhood on October 31, 2015. We noticed lights in the sky that were not on a set path. Then we noticed it was getting higher in the sky and flying all over the place. It was excessively fast and way too big to be an airplane.
We stood and watched its three square lights in a row. It also had a slight aura of white light around it. It went from the northeastern horizon to the southeastern horizon, on a crooked path, in two minutes. We were both extremely fascinated and talked about what we saw as we lost sight of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Columbia Disk
Ibague— This is an old photo from 1940, I saw as a child in many places in my city.
The object was shaped like a hat. This photo was taken with an old box camera.
I find it curious, because people at that time did not think about spaceships or anything like that.
I do not think it is a setup; people see that photo and do not notice that there is something there. Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Bright Object
Bangalore Hsr Layou — I just returned from my work around 5 am, on October 29, 2015, decided to smoke after a hard day at work.
While smoking I observed a bright object hovering above the moon and flashing lights. I took a picture of it as it hovered for a minute. When I decided to take another snap, it was gone.
It was clear sky with no trails of cloud anywhere. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Light
Catania, Sicily — During my daily early morning check on internet for seismic events in the Mediterranean area, On October 30, 2015, I noticed in the INGV (Italian National Geology and Vulcanology) these pictures running from 0642 to 0654 hours local where a green cone shaped bright object appeared clearly. After 0700 hours, the object was not seen any longer. The object was seen at the volcano peak where several active vents are open.
The thermal digital pictures were taken by the EMCT (Mount Cagliato thermal images) camera. A constant watch of the volcano could be kept on the INGV cameras here: Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mexico Rhomboidal UFOs
Ecatepec— The presence of these anomalous objects was visible, since the air show and flights had been cancelled. A rhomboidal UFO was sighted over the Tablas del Pozo district of Ecatepec, Mexico State, by UFO hunter Salvador Ramirez on October 10, 2015. He had recorded a large brown UFO hanging in mid-air at low altitude. The UFO displayed considerable stability in spite of the prevailing winds, thus dispelling the possibility that it could have been a balloon, as the object retained control of its movements.
At that very same time, the Mexican Air Force was holding an air show celebrating the 205th year of the Independence of Mexico. All aircraft other than military were forbidden to fly over the area. Moreover, the air operations of the Mexico City International Airport were interrupted for nearly four hours to enable the free movement of the military jets.
At 11:07 hours on September 16, to the south of Mexico’s Federal District, a crew of the Tercer Milenio television show, led by Carlos Clemente, was able to capture a disc-shaped, black flying object in flight, thanks to the expertise of researcher Alfonso Salazar. This UFO flew at low altitude, nearly at the level of the residential structures in the area, without making any noise whatsoever.
Simultaneously, UFO hunter Fabián Meléndez managed to capture an object having the shape of an inverted pyramid, motionless at low altitude, and which did not display any type of mechanism whatsoever with which to fly in our atmosphere.
These sightings made us realize that there had been considerable UFO activity in Central Mexico. Such sightings have been documented on video since September 16, 1991 when Vicente Sanchez, located, managed to capture the presence of a mysterious UFO very close to the airplanes.

Spain Orb
Malaga— I was working and cleaning outside when I saw at first three bright balls just slowly floating on September 15, 2015. I wondered if they were balloons or plastic bags. I remember thinking Fuengirola market is open so it might be carrier bags caught in the wind. Then I saw another two or three maybe four following. At that moment I thought hey they look just like the orbs, I have seen on you tube. That’s when I decided to film them with my iPhone. I could see them clearly looking over the phone. When I checked I could briefly see a couple orbs. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Light
London– I never been to London before so I was taking pictures of everything on September 19, 2015. I waited until I was able to get the best shot of places with least interference of objects and people. I did not notice anything in the sky as I was taking pictures. I noticed this object over Buckingham Palace a few weeks after my trip. I was looking at pictures of my trip when I had reached this photo and noticed it right away. My wife thought it might be a plane. I showed her another photo 3-4 minutes later of the object in the background moving.
Note: Photo is probably an aircraft taken in several seconds.

Monmouthshire — I was browsing Google Earth of the area that I live. It appears that the Google Earth camera has captured something that I am not able to identify on June11, 2011. There are two things to observe in the image. The first is a machine in the air among the tree line at the top left of the image. The second is a strange cloud formation. I was shocked to see the image because nothing exists where this object is located on the image. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Dawn team shares new maps and insights about Ceres
Mysteries and insights about Ceres are being discussed this week at the European Planetary Science Conference in Nantes, France. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is providing scientists with tantalizing views and other data about the intriguing dwarf planet that they continue to analyze.
“Ceres continues to amaze, yet puzzle us, as we examine our multitude of images, spectra and now energetic particle bursts,” said Chris Russell, Dawn principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles.
A new color-coded topographic map shows more than a dozen recently approved names for features on Ceres, all eponymous for agricultural spirits, deities and festivals from cultures around the world. These include Jaja, after the Abkhazian harvest goddess, and Ernutet, after the cobra-headed Egyptian harvest goddess. A 12-mile (20-kilometer) diameter mountain near Ceres’ north pole is now called Ysolo Mons, for an Albanian festival that marks the first day of the eggplant harvest.
Another new Ceres map, in false color, enhances compositional differences present on the surface. The variations are more subtle than on Vesta, Dawn’s previous port of call. Color-coded topographic images of Occator (oh-KAH-tor) crater, home of Ceres’ brightest spots, and a puzzling, cone-shaped 6-mile-high (4-kilometer-high) mountain, are also available. Scientists are still trying to identify processes that could produce these and other unique Cerean phenomena.
“The irregular shapes of craters on Ceres are especially interesting, resembling craters we see on Saturn’s icy moon Rhea,” said Carol Raymond, Dawn’s deputy principal investigator based at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. “They are very different from the bowl-shaped craters on Vesta.”
A surprising bonus observation came from Dawn’s gamma ray and neutron spectrometer. The instrument detected three bursts of energetic electrons that may result from the interaction between Ceres and radiation from the sun. The observation isn’t yet fully understood, but may be important in forming a complete picture of Ceres.
“This is a very unexpected observation for which we are now testing hypotheses,” Russell said.
Dawn is currently orbiting Ceres at an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers), and the spacecraft will image the entire surface of the dwarf planet up to six times in this phase of the mission. Each imaging cycle takes 11 days.
Starting in October and continuing into December, Dawn will descend to its lowest and final orbit, an altitude of 230 miles (375 kilometers). The spacecraft will continue imaging Ceres and taking other data at higher resolutions than ever before at this last orbit. It will remain operational at least through mid-2016.
Dawn made history as the first mission to reach a dwarf planet, and the first to orbit two distinct extraterrestrial targets, when it arrived at Ceres on March 6, 2015. It conducted extensive observations of Vesta in 2011 and 2012.
Dawn’s mission is managed by JPL for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate’s Discovery Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

So suffice it to say that when the US space agency says it's got something big to share with the world, we're going to pay attention, and this Thursday at 2pm EST it's promising to announce "key science findings" about what happened to Mars' now-thin atmosphere. We'll be live reporting the announcement as it happens, and you can watch along with us from the comfort of your home or office belowvia NASA TV.
The question we're all asking, naturally, is what the hell NASA might have in store for us. So far, we don't have a whole lot to go on, but what we do know is that the research comes fom the MAVEN (Mars, Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft, which has been orbiting Mars since 2014 and studying its upper atmosphere. These will be the first findings announced from the mission.
The spacecraft carries eight different sensors on board, including an ion mass spectrometer and a magnetometer, and according to NASA its aim is to: "Determine the role that loss of volatiles from the Mars atmosphere to space has played through time, giving insight into the history of Mars' atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability."
That last point is a particular favourite among those speculating on the outcome of the announcement on Twitter at the moment, but unfortunately we have nothing concrete to back up the idea that the announcement is to do with the potential for past or future life on Mars.
There is, however, this one slightly telling clue that we've found on NASA's Vine, which shows a simulation of what the Red Planet may have once looked like, and we're kinda freaking out over it (hello, second Earth?).
The Vine update links to a NASA statement with a few more details:
"The atmosphere on Mars is whisper-thin and drier than bone – but it wasn't always that way. For the past year, the MAVEN mission has been orbiting the planet, piecing together clues about what happened to all the air on Mars. At 2pm EST on November 5, NASA will hold a briefing on some new findings about the Martian atmosphere."
We also know that the announcement will be held at the NASA headquarters in Washington DC and will involve:
Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program
Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator
Jasper Halekas, MAVEN Solar Wind Ion Analyser instrument lead
Yaxue Dong, MAVEN science team member
Dave Brain, MAVEN co-investigator
Which is a pretty hard-hitting line up. But the reality is that, until Thursday, we won't know what NASA is going to tell us. So tune in to the live stream below at 2pm on November 5 EST (that's 7pm UTC and 6am Friday AEST).
You can ask NASA questions in advance using #AskNASA on Twitter. And we'll be live reporting on the story as it happens, so watch this space.
P.S. Anyone with any suggestions for a NASA live announcement drinking game, please let us know on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email. Because if the space agency is going to keep holding us in suspense like this on the regular, then we definitely need one.
The Dogon Tribe and Their Nordic Alien Gods From Sirius
The Dogon Tribe and Their Nordic Alien Gods From Sirius
How did an African tribe come to possess advanced astronomical knowledge about the Sirius star system?
Throughout history, many civilizations were fascinated with Sirius, the Dog Star. This bright celestial object occupies an elevated status in various mythologies but none paint a more intriguing picture than the Dogon Tribe of West Africa.
The rich culture of the Dogon people spans back more than five thousand years and one of their ancient legends tells the story of a race of otherworldly beings called the Nommo. According to legend, these advanced individuals visited the Earth eons ago, descending “from the sky in a vessel accompanied by fire and thunder.”
Friendly in nature, they shared some of their wisdom with the ancestors of the Dogon.
At this point we should mention that the Dogon possessed no astronomical instruments with which to study the night sky. But despite this inconvenience, their legends mention that the Nommo came from a planet that orbits one of the two stars in the Sirius star system.
It would have been impossible for them to reach this conclusion just by studying the star with the naked eye. In fact, astronomers only discovered Sirius’ smaller companion star a good 250 years after the telescope was invented.
Every 50 years, the Dogon celebrate the passing of a Sirius cycle, a tradition they keep in honor of the Nommo. That is exactly the time it takes for Sirius B to complete an orbit around its larger, more well-known companion. Coincidence?
The fact that a primitive African tribe possessed advanced knowledge about the universe is a mystery, but one that can be easily explained if we viewed their legends as mirrors of real events. So, what do the Dogon say about the Nommo?
Their home planet orbits Sirius B and is a largely-aquatic world. All legends describe them as amphibious creatures, very similar to our conception of Merfolk. Their upper half of the body closely resembles the Nordic Alien prototype of blue eyed, blonde-haired tall humanoids.
They landed in a large space ship the Dogon call ‘Pelu Tolo’ or ‘Star of the Tenth Moon.’ This event is one of great importance for the Dogon—their first contact. At the same time the Nommo ship was spiraling towards earth, a new star appeared in the night sky, possibly a mother ship from Sirius.
The tribe describe this star as having a swirling circle of reddish rays around it and also say that it was stationary relative to the other stars in the night sky.
The Dogon revered the Nommo and regarded them as civilizing gods. They are commonly referred to as ‘The Masters of the Waters”, “The Watchers” or “The Saviors.”
When shown photos of the most encountered alien species, Dogon shamans identified them with the Nordic alien type, claiming that their tribe had met blue eyed white humanoids long before meeting white men.
As unbelievable as this story sounds, it is paralleled by many others worldwide and they all share one common aspect: advanced alien beings visiting our planet, offering their aid and knowledge and being revered as gods. It would appear that this rash of visitations occurred around 5,000 years ago, possibly following a great flood or another catastrophe.
The white-skinned gods apparently visited the entire planet, as legends ranging from Australia to the Americas describe similar beings teaching mankind their ways.

Converging black holes in Virgo constellation

Converging black holes in Virgo constellation
Earlier this year, astronomers discovered what appeared to be a pair of supermassive black holes circling toward a collision so powerful it would send a burst of gravitational waves surging through the fabric of space-time itself.
Now, in a study in the journal Nature, astronomers at Columbia University provide additional evidence that a pair of closely orbiting black holes is causing the rhythmic flashes of light coming from quasar PG 1302-102.
Based on calculations of the pair’s mass–together, and relative to each other–the researchers go on to predict a smashup 100,000 years from now, an impossibly long time to humans but the blink of an eye to a star or black hole. Spiraling together 3.5 billion light-years away, deep in the Virgo constellation, the pair is separated by a mere light-week. By contrast, the closest previously confirmed black hole pair is separated by 20 light-years.
“This is the closest we’ve come to observing two black holes on their way to a massive collision,” said the study’s senior author, Zoltan Haiman, an astronomer at Columbia. “Watching this process reach its culmination can tell us whether black holes and galaxies grow at the same rate, and ultimately test a fundamental property of space-time: its ability to carry vibrations called gravitational waves, produced in the last, most violent, stage of the merger.”
At the center of most giant galaxies, including our own Milky Way, lies a supermassive black hole so dense that not even light can escape. Over time, black holes grow bigger–millions to billions times more massive than the sun–by gobbling up stars, galaxies and even other black holes.
A supermassive black hole about to cannibalize its own can be detected by the mysterious flickering of a quasar–the beacon of light produced by black holes as they burn through gas and dust swirling around them. Normally, quasars brighten and dim randomly, but when two black holes are on the verge of uniting, the quasar appears to flicker at regular intervals, like a light bulb on timer.
Recently, a team led by Matthew Graham, a computational astronomer at the California Institute of Technology, designed an algorithm to pick out repeating light signals from 247,000 quasars monitored by telescopes in Arizona and Australia. Of the 20 pairs of black hole candidates discovered, they focused on the most compelling bright quasar– PG 1302-102. In a January study in Nature, they showed that PG 1302-102 appeared to brighten by 14 percent every five years, indicating the pair was less than a tenth of a light-year apart.
Intrigued, Haiman and his colleagues wondered if they could build a theoretical model to explain the repeating signal. If the black holes were as close as predicted, one had to be circling a much larger counterpart at nearly a tenth of the speed of light, they hypothesized. At that speed, the smaller black hole would appear to brighten as it approached Earth’s line of sight under the relativistic Doppler beaming effect.
If correct, they predicted they would find a five-year cycle in the quasar’s ultraviolet emissions–only two-and-a-half times more variable in its intensity. Analyzing UV observations collected by NASA’s Hubble and GALEX space telescopes they found exactly that.
Previous explanations for the repeating signal include a warp in the debris disks orbiting the black holes, a wobble in the axis of one black hole and a lopsided debris disk formed as one black hole draws material off the other–all creating the impression of a periodic flicker from Earth.
The new study also offers a new technique for investigating other converging black holes, the researchers said. By estimating the combined and relative mass of PG 1302-102’s black holes, they narrow down the pair’s predicted crash time to between 20,000 and 350,000 years from now with a best estimate of 100,000 years. (The predicted crash time by Graham’s team was 10,000 to several million years from now with a best estimate of 250,000 years).
“We can start to put numbers on the rates that black holes come together and build up into larger black holes, and use what we’re learning to search for more black holes pairs,” said study coauthor David Schiminovich, an astronomer at Columbia.
An uptick in the number of black hole binary discoveries has made astronomers hopeful that a collision could be detected in the next decade. This summer, Graham and his colleagues reported another 90 candidates, while astronomers at Columbia expect to soon unveil discoveries of their own from data collected at California’s Palomar Observatory.
With more black holes to watch, the chance of witnessing a crash and the gravitational waves predicted, but not yet detected, by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, grows.
“The detection of gravitational waves lets us probe the secrets of gravity and test Einstein’s theory in the most extreme environment in our universe–black holes,” said the study’s lead author, Daniel D’Orazio, a graduate student at Columbia. “Getting there is a holy grail of our field.”

Radar images provide details on Halloween asteroid
The highest-resolution radar images of asteroid 2015 TB145’s safe flyby of Earth have been processed and yield new information about its surface features.
To obtain these highest-resolution radar images of the asteroid, scientists used the 230-foot (70-meter) DSS-14 antenna at Goldstone, California, to transmit high-power microwaves toward the asteroid. The signal bounced off the asteroid, and its radar echoes were received by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s (NRAO) 100-meter (330-foot) Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The radar images achieve a spatial resolution as fine as 13 feet (4 meters) per pixel.
The radar images were taken as the asteroid flew past Earth on October 31 at 1 p.m. EDT at about 1.3 lunar distances (300,000 miles, or 480,000 kilometers) from Earth. Asteroid 2015 TB145 is spherical in shape and approximately 2,000 feet (600 meters) in diameter.
“The radar images of asteroid 2015 TB145 show portions of the surface not seen previously and reveal pronounced concavities, bright spots that might be boulders, and other complex features that could be ridges,” said Lance Benner of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who leads NASA’s asteroid radar research program. “The images look distinctly different from the Arecibo radar images obtained on October 30 and are probably the result of seeing the asteroid from a different perspective in its three-hour rotation period.”
“Working with our observatory partners, we were able to get our resolution down to less than 13 feet (four meters) per pixel,” said Shantanu Naidu, a postdoctoral student at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, and a member of the radar team. “It is a truly remarkable achievement, one which we will later be able to apply when future flyby opportunities present themselves.”
The next time that asteroid 2015 TB145 will be in Earth’s neighborhood will be in September 2018, when it will make a distant pass at about 24 million miles (38 million kilometers), or about a quarter the distance between Earth and Sun.
Radar is a powerful technique for studying an asteroid’s size, shape, rotation, surface features and surface roughness, and for improving the calculation of asteroid orbits. Radar measurements of asteroid distances and velocities often enable computation of asteroid orbits much further into the future than would be possible otherwise.
The 100-meter GBT is the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope. Its location in the National Radio Quiet Zone and the West Virginia Radio Astronomy Zone protects the incredibly sensitive telescope from unwanted radio interference, enabling it to perform unique observations.

Mars: New hypothesis on the origin of the megafloods
A study published in Scientific Reports puts forward a new explanation for the Martian megafloods: enormous discharges of subterranean water that dug out the biggest flood channels in the solar system over 3 billion years ago.
For many years it was thought that these megafloods were caused by the release of a deep global hydrosphere in the Martian subsoil. However, the research conducted by J. P. Alexis Rodríguez of the Planetary Science Institute (PSI-USA), with the participation of Rogelio Linares and Mario Zarroca of the Department of Geology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), has revealed that their origin could have been vast quantities of sediment and ice deposited 450 million years before the floods.
The findings from this project, which was partially supported by NASA funding for the PSI under its Planetary Geology and Geophysics Program, are detailed in the study entitled “Martian outflow channels: How did their source aquifers form, and why did they drain so quickly?”
The article, co-authored by the UAB Geology Department members mentioned above, describes how the sediments carried by rivers and glaciers filled up enormous canyons below an ancient ocean located in the Northern Lowlands, and how it was the release of the water trapped in these buried sediments that caused the megafloods, whose effects we can observe in the present.
The canyons filled up, the ocean disappeared and the planet surface remained frozen for around 450 million years. Subsequently, 3200 million years ago, the heat from lava beneath the canyons thawed the ice trapped in the sediments and enormous rivers of subterranean water spread over hundreds of kilometres, before eventually bursting out on to the now-dry surface and causing the megafloods.
In the words of the Geology Department researchers, “Our research suggests that, given that the process was regional rather than global, there could still be large reservoirs of subterranean water trapped under the surface of Mars, in the areas around the old northern ocean, or in other parts of the planet where seas and lakes formed at the same time.” “Traces of ancient environments capable of sustaining life forms similar to those on Earth could have been preserved in sub-surface materials that are now exposed,” claim R. Linares and M. Zarroca. “The results obtained could have clear implications both for exobiological research and for future human activity on Mars.”
To illustrate the scale of the Martian megafloods, the UAB researchers have estimated the effect they would have on Europe, quantifying it as around 2,500,000 km2.

Mars today (despite the presence of a small amount of a liquid water) is a dry, frozen place. But this was not always the case. Ancient Mars was likely warm and wet, much like Earth. So what happened to change it? Thanks to brand new results from NASA’s MAVEN mission, announced today, we may finally know.
The Solar Winds
“When we look at ancient mars we see a different kind of surface, an environment that was able to support water on the surface” said MAVEN principle investigator Bruce Jakovsky today. “So what happened to the carbon dioxide in that atmosphere, what happened to the water on early Mars?”
Over the last year, MAVEN has been studying Mars’ atmosphere carefully. Using that data, researchers revealed (along with the simultaneous publication of the results in Science and Geophysical Research Letters) that, under bombardment from solar winds, Mars’ atmospheric gases were being striped away.
While the solar winds don’t directly strike the planet’s surface, the solar winds have been stripping atmospheric gas around the planet steadily, coming off in bursts as Jasper Halekas, MAVEN’s lead instrument investigator explained “like the shock wave around a jet plane.”
As the solar winds carried off more and more of Mars’ atmospheric gas, like you see above, the planet was left less and less able to sustain the watery surface it once had. “The analogy I use,” Jakovsky explained, “is when I step out of the shower into the breeze, the water in my hair is just whisked away by the wind.”
Today, that loss of atmospheric gas is continuing at the rate of about 1/4 pound of gas per second. But, researchers believe that in Mars’ earlier days, as it first began to lose atmospheric gas, that rate was much higher. And even today, that rate can easily jump 10-20 times during a solar storm, like you see in this comparison between the average rates and the solar storm rates:
Is Mars Earth’s Future?
So, if Mars was a once a wet planet that lost its water along with its atmosphere, what about Earth? Should we worry that our own home might one day look like the red planet’s dry, dusty surface? Fortunately, there’s something significant standing in the way: Earth’s magnetic field.
Like Mars, Earth is also subject to powerful solar winds—and like Mars, it also loses some of its atmospheric gases. But the geomagnetic field repels it enough that it does not run up as directly against the atmospheric gases:
Of course, as researchers noted during their announcement of the results today, 3.7 billion years ago, early Mars also once had a geomagnetic field protecting it, a fact that allowed its ancient waters to flow. It was losing this that set off the chain reaction that eventually turned Mars into the dusty, red, frozen surface that we know. “The turn-off of the magnetic field is what allowed the turn-on of the stripping by the solar wind,” noted Jakovsky.

Dyson Sphere: Did Extraterrestrials Build A Dome Around This Star?
Dyson Sphere: Did Extraterrestrials Build A Dome Around This Star?
Astronomers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in California have started searching for signs of alien life near a "mysterious" star.
NASA's Kepler space telescope had been monitoring KIC 8462852, a star located about 1,480 light years, since 2009.
There have been "bizarre" light fluctuations near the star, which scientists claim might be caused by a huge alien megastructure known as a "Dyson sphere."
A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and hence captures most or all of its power output.
Rendering of possible Dyson sphere by Jay Wong, All About Space Magazine
Astronomers have now started using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), a system of radio dishes, in search for radio signals coming from KIC 8462852.
Another hypothesis about the light fluctuations is that it might be caused by swarm of comets that may be orbiting KIC 8462852.
OVNIS : L'interview choc de Robert Hastings sur CNN
OVNIS : L'interview choc de Robert Hastings sur CNN
Gepubliceerd op 30 okt. 2015
Robert Hastings est l'un des chercheurs les plus reconnus dans l'étude du phénomène OVNI, il a enquêté sur de nombreux cas d'observations d'engins volants au-dessus de bases nucléaires américaines où sont entreposés des missiles nucléaires.
Il est également l'auteur d'un livre intitulé « OVNIS et armes nucléaires ». Au sujet des ovnis, Robert Hastings déclare que plus de 120 cas ont déjà été recensés par l'armée américaine depuis 1948, comme le prouve des documents secrets récemment divulgués. Ces documents indiquent qu'il est certain que ces ovnis sont plus particulièrement intéressés par les armes nucléaires et leurs sites de stockage.
Un des exemples les plus célèbres et les plus documenté est l'intrusion, en 1967, d'un ovni sur la base militaire de Malmstrom. L'ovni est resté de longues minutes à survoler les silos contenant les armes nucléaires avant que ces dernières finissent par se désactiver mystérieusement. Tous les agents présents lors de cet incident ainsi que plusieurs ingénieurs de la société « Boeing » témoignent aujourd'hui de son caractère inexplicable.
Suite à ce phénomène, trois des sept agents présents, dont Robert Hastings lui-même, émirent la même hypothèse... Il s'agirait en réalité d'un signal d'origine extra-terrestre visant à mettre l'humanité en garde contre l'utilisation qu'elle fait des armes nucléaires. Cette théorie est d'ailleurs longuement développée dans le livre de Robert Hastings dans lequel il dévoile de nombreux autres secrets militaires allant même jusqu'à évoquer la possibilité d'un complot mondial. Je ne peux donc que conseiller à tous les amateurs d'ovnis et tous les conspirationnistes de regarder cette interview qui, je le pense, ne fera que confirmer leurs opinions.
[For trouble viewing the images/movies on this page, go here]
Clouds move above the large methane lakes and seas near the north pole of Saturn's moon Titan in this movie made from images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
Methane clouds in the troposphere, the lowest part of the atmosphere, appear white here and can be seen moving east over several of Titan's large northern lakes. The darkest areas are lakes and seas of liquid methane, identifiable because they have a low albedo, meaning they do not reflect much light. (The difference in brightness and darkness on the surface here indicates a difference in composition.) The clouds seen near lakes and seas suggest that Titan (5,150 kilometers or 3,200 miles across) may have "lake-effect" clouds created by weather systems over large bodies of liquid. However, without earlier observations to show the clouds did not originate west of the large sea Kraken Mare, scientists can't determine conclusively if these clouds are "lake-effect" clouds.
Near the beginning of the animation, a particularly large cloud can be seen directly over and east of Titan's huge sea, Kraken Mare. If full, Kraken Mare, at 400,000 square kilometers (154,000 square miles), would be almost five times the size of North America's Lake Superior.
Even if these clouds are not directly connected to the lakes and seas, scientists think that frequent detections of clouds at high northern latitudes since 2007 are related to the abundant availability of methane at the surface in this region.
The movie cycles through two versions: a labeled version showing blue outlines for the lakes and a second version with no overlays on the images. The four images used in this animation were taken over a period of about 24 hours from Sept. 22 to 23, 2009. This movie shows a different view of the same data presented in another imaging science subsystem (ISS) movie, PIA12812. This movie shows each lake (lacus) and sea (mare) identified with a blue-shaded area, based on albedo differences detected by the ISS and radar instruments. The images were re-projected to a polar stereographic projection centered over the north pole of Titan. Terrain at roughly 180 degrees west longitude is up in the movie. The north pole is below and to the left of the center of the movie, to the right of the top end of Punga Mare.
The clouds are visible above terrain at about 60 to 82 degrees north latitude, 220 to 260 degrees west longitude. Scientists calculate wind speeds from about 0.5 to 10 meters per second (1 to 22 miles per hour), based on tracking of individual cloud features in these images.
Other Cassini observations of clouds in Titan's southern latitudes provide evidence of a seasonal shift of Titan's weather systems to low latitudes from higher, south polar latitudes following the August 2009 equinox in the Saturnian system. (During equinox, the sun lies directly over the equator.) See PIA12810 and PIA12813 to learn more about the changes in Titan's southern hemisphere.
The images were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was obtained at a range of distances from approximately 406,000 kilometers (252,000 miles) to 796,000 kilometers (494,000 miles) from Titan. Scale is about 4 kilometers (2 miles) per pixel in these re-projected images.
The Cassini Solstice Mission is a joint United States and European endeavor. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team consists of scientists from the US, England, France, and Germany. The imaging operations center and team lead (Dr. C. Porco) are based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
Former US Marine says he spent over 15 years in space and on Mars protecting five human colonies
Former US Marine says he spent over 15 years in space and on Mars protecting five human colonies
According to claims of a retired officer know as Captain Kaye (pseudonym), not only have humans made it to Mars in the past, but we have developed a secret space program and flotilla that operates in space. It seems that there are two versions that are being filtered to society when it comes to Space, Mars, and classified files relating the two. The first is that we have not been to Mars, there is a lot of work to be done and our technology is still very limited. The other one is the exact opposite, a version that several individuals have backed up over the last decade. The question here is, who is telling the truth? And would it be ludicrous to think we have made it to Mars and colonized the red planet thanks to secret space programs?
According to Captain Kaye, who is a former US Marine, he was posted on the red planet for years and his mission was to protect the five human colonies from indigenous life forms on Mars. According to Captain Kaye, not only did he spend years on Mars, but he also served aboard a giant space carrier for three years.
According to the former US Marine, he worked for the Mars Defense Force (MDF) which is owned and operated by the Mars Colony Corporation (MCC) which is basically a conglomerate of financial institutions, government and tech companies. Kaye and his team were part of a special section of the United States Marines with a highly classified mission, protect and ensure the existence of five newly-established colonies on the surface of the red planet. The Earth Defense Force, another secret military branch has military recruits from countries such as the United States, China and Russia.
Furthermore, Kaye states that his training took place on the Moon, inside a secret base called LOC or the Lunar Operations Command, on Saturn’s Moon Titan and even in deep space. Not only do we have technology to get us to Saturn and outer space, Mars is a planet crawling with life according to statements from the former Marine.
According to Captain Kaye, the space fleet has technology far superior than anything available anywhere on Earth. The various ships have different propulsion systems which allow the space fleet to reach the frontiers of our solar system with ease. According to Kaye, the propulsion systems used both fission and fusion powered thrusters, ward driver and antigravity technology, advancements that were facilitated to mankind by friendly ‘Gray Aliens’.
According to Captain Kaye, there are two indigenous species inhabiting Mars: The Reptillians and Insectoids. Both of them equally intelligent, the Reptilians are a species much more aggressive, defending their territory at all costs. The Insectoids, equally intelligent and capable are more passive.
The fact that Mars is a planet capable of sustaining life has been backed by several researchers, among them Dr. Brandenburg who even claims that alien beings waged a Nuclear War on the red planet and that we can find evidence of that today.
According to Dr Brandenburg, ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were massacred in the giant nuclear attack – and evidence of the genocide can still be seen today. According to scientists there are very large traces of Xenon-129 on Mars and the only process that we know that produces Xenon-129 is a nuclear explosion.
In a TV interview, Dr. Brandenburg stated: “Two great disasters happened on Mars,” he told Supreme Master TV, pointing to Utopia on a map. “One here, and then an asteroid impact happened here, and Cydonia was right in between them. That’s puzzling. Why would so many bad things happen in one area of mars that just so happened to have archaeology on it?”
While Captain Kaye has no physical evidence to back up his claims, he says that he is doing everything he can to obtain highly classified documents which would prove that what he is telling is true. Parts of the testimony from Captain Kaye are consistent with that of Michael Relfe, another whistleblower who claims to have served 20 years tour on the red planet. Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, great-granddaughter of former President Eisenhower claims that efforts were made to recruit here onto a human colony on Mars, led by researcher Dr. Hal Puthoff.
Having served 20 years in space, Mars and the Moon, Captain Kaye retired with honors.

L’avion supersonique en phase de décollage
L’avion supersonique en phase de décollage
I.Les avions supersoniques du futur
Des ingénieurs canadiens viennent de présenter un prototype d’avion supersonique baptisé « Skreemr ». Cinq fois plus rapide que le Concorde, il relierait Londres à New York en quarante minutes… Ce nouveau concept d’avion ultra-rapide rejoint d’autres projets déjà existants et destinés à voir (ou pas) le jour. Tour d’horizon.
Le Skreemr. Cet avion dépasserait les 12 250 km/h. Deux ingénieurs canadiens ont mis au point un nouveau concept d’avion supersonique à quatre ailes, pouvant transporter 75 passagers, à une vitesse allant jusqu’à Mach 10, soit 10 fois la vitesse du son. The Skreemr a été conçu par Charles Bombardier et Ray Matisson, qui promettent un voyage Londres - New York en 40 minutes. Même si le projet, à l’état de prototype, a peu de chances d’être commercialisé un jour, il relance l’espoir de voir des successeurs du Concorde arriver bientôt sur le marché. (Photo : Bombardier)
Le projet d’Airbus. Cet avion supersonique volerait à une vitesse de 5 508 km/h (4,5 fois la vitesse du son). La vitesse de croisière du Concorde, elle, était de 2000 km/h. Un vol Vancouver - Tokyo durerait 3 h avec cet avion, propulsé à la verticale par un moteur-fusée et équipé d’un système de propulsion par réaction des aéronefs et de deux turboréacteurs. Ce « Concorde 2 » ne pourrait accueillir que vingt passagers, contrairement à la première version (90 places). D’après les brevets, Airbus envisage une utilisation commerciale mais également militaire de ce nouvel avion. Ce n’est pas la première fois depuis le retrait du Concorde qu’Airbus Group (ex-EADS) s’intéresse aux avions de ligne supersoniques. En 2011, le projet « Zhest » a été présenté au salon du Bourget, un avion concept carburant révolutionnaire avec un mélange d’hydrogène et d’oxygène, et affichant zéro émissions de CO2. (Photo : Airbus)
L’AS2. Le manufacturier aéronautique américain Aerion a imaginé un jet supersonique, l’AS2. En septembre 2014, il s’est associé à Airbus pour développer un AS2 capable de transporter douze passagers de Paris à Washington en trois heures, à une vitesse maximale de Mach 1,5. En attendant le premier vol prévu en 2019, puis la certification en 2021, Aerion a annoncé en mai un prix catalogue de 120 millions de dollars. (Photo : Aerion)
Le S-512. Spike Aerospace, autre constructeur américain, travaille sur un S-512 pouvant emporter dix-huit passagers à une vitesse de croisière de Mach 1,6. Conçue sans hublot pour un meilleur aérodynamisme, sa cabine sera équipée d’écrans reproduisant en temps réel la vue extérieure. Un prototype doit voir le jour entre 2018 et 2020. (Photo : Spike Aerospace)
Le SonicStar. Encore plus ambitieux, le Britannique HyperMach vise une certification en 2021 de son SonicStar, censé atteindre Mach 4 et avec une consommation de carburant et un bruit inférieurs à ceux du Concorde, qui volait à Mach 2. Présenté en 2011, le SonicStar est un projet mené par l’industriel britannique Richard Lugg. Cet avion profilé pourrait voler à partir de 2021. À 18 000 mètres d’altitude, il relierait Londres à New York en deux heures, ou encore New York à Sydney en cinq heures. Le SonicStar restera une « Rolls Roys des airs » réservé à une clientèle très aisée. En développement, il est probable que les premiers SonicStar volent dès 2021, avec à son bord entre vingt et cinquante passagers. (Photo : HyperMach)
Le projet de JAXA. L’agence spatiale japonaise (JAXA) a aussi son projet d’avion supersonique « silencieux » de trente-six à cinquante places. Mystère, en revanche, sur la date de début d’exploitation. (Photo : JAXA)
Le Jet N+2.Le Jet N + 2, de Lokheed Martin, entreprise américaine de défense et de sécurité, serait capable d’emporter quatre-vingts passagers pour un vol supersonique. Il pourrait atteindre 2 000 km/h en vitesse de croisière, et ainsi relier New York à Los Angeles en 2 h 30. Son design est conçu afin de réduire au maximum l’impact sonore du passage du mur du son. La configuration tri-réacteur de l’appareil devrait en effet être à même de réduire le bruit du bang supersonique. Un modèle aurait déjà été testé en soufflerie. (Photo : Lokheed Martin).
Le QSST-X. Développé par l’entreprise Supersonic Aerospace International (SAI), c’est un jet supersonique destiné aux hommes d’affaires. Il volerait entre Mach 1,6 et Mach 1,8. Sauf que le projet devait voir le jour en 2014 et on l’attend toujours… Il semble donc au point mort. (Photo SAI).
II.Bientôt un Paris-New York en 40 minutes ?
PAR TATIANA LISSITZKY
Des ingénieurs canadiens ont présenté en début de semaine, un prototype d’avion supersonique, le Skreemr, qui pourrait être cinq fois plus rapide que le Concorde et relier Paris à New York en quarante minutes. Mais ce projet a-t-il une chance de voir le jour?

Un avion qui dépasserait les 12250km/h… C’est le projet fou de deux ingénieurs canadiens qui ont présenté au journal « Globe and Mail » leur nouveau concept d’avion supersonique à quatre ailes pouvant transporter 75 passagers, à une vitesse allant jusqu’à Mach 10, soit 10 fois la vitesse du son. The Skreemr a été conçu par Charles Bombardier et Ray Matisson, qui promettent un voyage Paris- New York en 40 minutes. Même si le projet, à l’état de prototype a peu de chances d’être commercialisé un jour, il relance l’espoir de voir des successeurs du Concorde arriver bientôt sur le marché.
Des successeurs du Concorde
Car depuis le Concorde, plus aucun avion commercial ne peut se targuer d’emmener ses passagers à une vitesse supersonique, c’est-à-dire à une vitesse supérieure à la vitesse du son. Le Concorde proposait le Paris-New York en à peine 3 heures et demi… Aujourd’hui les avions mettent au mieux deux fois plus de temps.

Car s’ils ont fait d’immenses progrès depuis 40 ans en terme de consommation, d’aménagement, ou de capacité de passagers, nos Boeing 747 et autres Airbus A320 font du surplace question vitesse. Ce qui sonne un peu comme une régression après la mise au placard du Concorde, fleuron technologique très en avance pour son époque.
Pas les attentes des clients
Alors pourquoi un tel retard en matière d’innovation supersonique? Pour Michel Thorigny, dernier exploitant du Concorde, la raison est simple, ces avions supersoniques ne correspondent plus aux attentes de notre époque. Trop polluants, trop chers, trop de contraintes techniques et législatives. « Il y a quarante ans, nous pensions que la moitié des avions de ligne seraient des Concorde, et l’autre moitié des gros-porteurs. Nous nous sommes trompés, » explique l’expert.
Avec seulement 20 appareils produits, le Concorde a en effet constitué un véritable échec commercial bien avant son unique crash, le 25juillet 2000 près de Paris, qui a précipité son retrait de service. « Un échec commercial, mais un succès technologique, nuance toutefois Michel Thorigny, qui a piloté le dernier vol commercial du Concorde pour Air France. Cet avion supersonique a été un laboratoire de succès technologiques et économiques. C’est grâce à la technologie du Concorde que 9 000 Airbus A320 ont pu être livrés par exemple et qu’il y en a 8 000 autres en commande, ou encore qu’il a été possible de miniaturiser des systèmes d’implantation comme le cœur artificiel ou mettre au point les systèmes d’ABS des voitures.»
Des avions trop polluants
L’un des principaux obstacles à surmonter pour les constructeurs reste le problème du carburant. « Aujourd’hui, nous voulons consommer le moins de kérosène possible,analyse Michel Thorigny. Le Concorde consommait 23 tonnes de kérosène par heure. C’est énorme. Sa consommation de carburant était optimale à haute altitude et à haute vitesse, mais dès l’instant où il était en phase de décollage ou d’atterrissage, il augmentait très largement sa consommation. »Reste donc à inventer un réacteur qui consomme peu sur toute la durée du vol, une prouesse technologique que les scientifiques sont encore incapables de réaliser.
Le prototype 001 du Concorde lors d’essais de moteur à Toulouse en 1968. (Photo : AFP)
Pour le spécialiste de l’aviation supersonique, « viennent ensuite les problèmes environnementaux ». Les normes environnementales changent constamment. « Impossible dès lors de connaître ce qui sera imposé dans 10 ans. » Et comme il faut plus de dix ans pour construire un avion supersonique, les chercheurs se retrouvent face à un cahier des charges inconnu.
Des problèmes de législation
Autre problème, non négligeable: le bang supersonique. Lorsqu’un avion dépasse le mur du son, il déclenche une détonation qui peut provoquer des dégâts. Il est donc interdit de dépasser la vitesse du son au-dessus des zones d’habitation. Même s’il y a des recherches en cours aux États-Unis, « nous n’avons pas encore réussi à maîtriser ou minimiser ce phénomène, explique l’expert. Le Concorde avait été exclusivement conçu pour relier l’Ancien et le Nouveau Monde. En passant au-dessus de l’Atlantique, il ne dérangeait donc personne à part les poissons. Aujourd’hui, en revanche, nos intérêts économiques se situent en Asie. Or, si nous ne pouvons pas passer le mur du son au-dessus du continent, et que nous nous contentons de voler à la vitesse d’un airbus A320, un avion supersonique ne sert à rien. »
Et les passagers dans tout cela? Contrairement aux idées reçues, la vitesse de l’avion ne change pas grand-chose au confort. « Rien à voir avec un avion de chasse. Lorsque l’on passe le mur du son dans un avion tel que le Concorde, on ne ressent absolument rien. Il n’y a qu’au décollage que la pression de la vitesse est ressentie, mais elle est largement supportable», affirme l’ancien pilote, Michel Thorigny.
Des billets trop chers
Il suffit de regarder le succès actuel des compagnies aériennes low-cost pour comprendre que la durée de vol importe désormais moins que le prix, principal argument de vente. Pour Michel Thorigny, « un avion supersonique, qui transporterait 250 passagers, n’est en conséquence absolument pas d’actualité à moyen terme». Mais ce constat n’empêche pas les constructeurs aéronautiques de développer de nouveaux appareils supersoniques, bien plus petits que leur illustre prédécesseur et destinés à une clientèle extrêmement fortunée.

Bientôt un avion supersonique ?
Un mini-jet supersonique pour ultra-riches pourrait ainsi débarquer sur le marché dans les prochaines années. Le manufacturier aéronautique américain Aerion, a déjà commencé à prendre des commandes pour son jet, l’AS2. Cet avion supersonique sera capable de transporter douze passagers de Paris à Washington en trois heures, en allant à 1,7 fois la vitesse du son, soit 2 400 km/h. En attendant le premier vol prévu en 2019, puis la certification en 2021, Aerion a annoncé en mai un prix catalogue de 120millions de dollars. Mais les cinquante premiers clients pourront compter sur une ristourne a promis le constructeur. « C’est le seul projet d’avion supersonique que l’on verra probablement aboutir ces dix prochaines années », commente Michel Thorigny.
À l’inverse, des prototypes d’avions supersoniques comme le Skreemr, proposé par les Canadiens, n’ont rien de réaliste. Un avion qui va dix fois plus vite que la vitesse du son et qui est capable de faire New York-Sydney en à peine une heure pose de nombreuses questions. « Nous n’avons ni la technologie, ni les moyens financiers de mettre au point un tel avion, allègue l’expert. Il faudrait un accord économique planétaire pour le financer. »

La Nasa a annoncé qu'elle allait recruter des candidats astronautes en vue des futures missions autour de la Lune et pour préparer la conquête de Mars.

CANDIDATURES. L'agence spatiale américaineacceptera les demandes à partir du 14 décembre et jusqu'à la mi-février 2016. A l'issue d'un long processus de sélection, la liste des sélectionnés pour la prochaine classe d'astronautes sera annoncée mi-2017. "Ce prochain groupe d'explorateurs américains de l'espace nous aidera à atteindre l'objectif de poser des humains sur la planète Rouge", a estimé le patron de la Nasa, Charles Bolden, lui-même ancien astronaute.
La très stricte sélection des astronautes
"Ceux qui seront sélectionnés voleront sur des vaisseaux américains lancés depuis le sol des Etats-Unis, feront des avancées essentielles dans le science et la recherche à bord de la Station spatiale internationale et aideront à repousser les limites de la technologie dans l'espace lointain", a-t-il souligné. Pour soumettre leur candidature, les prétendants devront avoir la nationalité américaine et disposer au moins d'une licence ("bachelor") en ingénierie, en biologie, en sciences physiques ou en mathématiques, délivrée par un établissement universitaire reconnu. Mais il est préférable d'être détenteur d'une maîtrise ou d'un doctorat. Les candidats doivent aussi avoir au moins trois ans d'expérience professionnelle dans ces domaines scientifiques ou au moins mille heures de vol pour les pilotes.
Enfin, ils doivent passer avec succès l'examen médical de la Nasa indiquant qu'ils sont aptes physiquement à effectuer des vols spatiaux de longue durée. La Nasa rappelle qu'il va y avoir au cours des prochaines années un nombre sans précédent de vols spatiaux habités. La prochaine classe d'astronautes volera sur quatre vaisseaux différents : la Station spatiale internationale (ISS), deux vaisseaux privés, le CST-100 Starliner de Boeinget Dragon de SpaceX, qui doivent entrer en service en 2017, ainsi que sur Orion.
Se protéger des radiations cosmiques
Orion est la première capsule de la Nasa qui sera capable d'emporter des équipages au-delà de l'orbite terrestre à partir de 2021 et ce pour la première fois depuis le programme Apollo de conquête de la Lune en 1969. Etant donné leur capacité, le CST-100 Starliner et le Dragon permettront d'ajouter un septième membre d'équipage permanent dans l'ISS, qui effectue des rotations de six mois. Ce membre supplémentaire doublera le temps que les astronautes consacreront à la recherche spatiale dans l'avant-poste orbital pour préparer un voyage vers Mars. Ils pourront ainsi étudier les effets de la microgravité sur l'organisme humain durant de longues périodes en apesanteur et voir comment se protéger des radiations cosmiques qui accroissent le risque de cancer.
"C'est une période exaltante pour faire partie du programme américain d'exploration spatiale habitée", a assuré Brian Kelly, directeur des vols humains de la Nasa au Johnson Space Center à Houston, au Texas, où sont formés et basés les astronautes.
A ce jour et depuis le début des activités spatiales à la fin des années 1950, la Nasa a sélectionné plus de 300 astronautes pour effectuer des vols dans l'espace qui ont eu d'importantes retombées bénéfiques sur Terre. Le corps actif des astronautes compte à l'heure actuelle 47 membres, contre 149 en l'an 2000 au pic du programme des navettes spatiales. Mais davantage de personnel sera nécessaire pour les équipages des futures missions vers l'ISS et pour des destinations lointaines dans l'espace.
