However, it is also important to note that a proven case of gas bubbles rising to the surface and sinking an unfavorably-positioned ship has never been recorded, as Atlas Obscura   reports.

Nevertheless, the notion that a sudden release of the gas potentially endangering ships, or even bringing down aircraft, is not new -  May and Monaghan, the Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov , and some others have also toyed with the idea in the last few decades. Even though the CAGE scientists are not proposing a connection, some others have even directly referenced the role of gas hydrates in the disappearances of the Bermuda Triangle.

As Yeltsov, the deputy head of the Trofimuk Institute, reportedly said last year :

“There is a version that the Bermuda Triangle is a consequence of gas hydrates reactions. They start to actively decompose with methane ice turning into gas. It happens in an avalanche-like way, like a nuclear reaction, producing huge amounts of gas. That makes the ocean heat up and ships sink in its waters mixed with a huge proportion of gas.”

Furthermore, Benjamin Phrampus, an Earth scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, told Live Science in 2014 that "Gas hydrate is known to exist along the U.S. North Atlantic continental margin, with a very large province on Blake Ridge (north of the Bermuda Triangle)."

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle is a region of ocean bordered by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. It covers some 500,000 square miles of ocean. The legendary location has become notorious as a site of unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft since it was named in a 1964 story by Vincent H. Gaddis in the American magazine Argosy.

But Gaddis was not the first to report on strange happenings and disappearances in the region. George X. Sands, wrote about “an unusually large number of strange accidents in that region” in Fate magazine in 1952.

And many years before him, History says on their website that the famous explorer Columbus noted odd happenings as he sailed through the region.

They write:

“When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.”

• The Mysterious Lost Colony of Roanoke Island Vanished, Leaving Behind a Strange Message
• Mediterranean Tsunami Could Have Been the Inspiration for the Biblical Story of Moses Parting the Waters

Numerous unexplained disappearances have been linked to the Bermuda Triangle. Some examples are US Navy ships that have inexplicably vanished with their crew and cargo in 1918 and 1941. They reportedly sent no distress signals and disappeared somewhere on route between Barbados and Chesapeake Bay.

As for planes, the famous Flight 19 story is one of the best-known. History reports on the strange disappearance saying:

“In December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.””

There are many proposed theories that have tried to explain the strange occ )urrences that seem to abound in the Bermuda Triangle. Some of the alternative hypotheses include: aliens, Atlantis, sea monsters, time warps, and reverse gravity fields.

Other researchers have suggested magnetic anomalies, waterspouts or, huge eruptions of methane gas from the ocean floor.

Despite the supernatural feeling of the disappearances, the location is not officially recognized by the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names do not identify it or accept it on their list. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that “The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea.  Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction.”

The NOAA also states that:

“The ocean has always been a mysterious place to humans, and when foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly place.  This is true all over the world.  There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean.”

More information on the Norwegian scientists’ research on the craters in the Barents Sea will be released in April at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union .

These are the 'strange sightings' featured in a Swansea Bay UFO group's new database

• BY ROBIN TURNER

They range from a man 'abducted by aliens' in 1856 to a strange object over Morriston

A man who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in the Vale of Neath in 1857 to a “flying jellyfish” over Langland Bay, Gower... and a strange object hovering near the DVLA tower in Swansea.

These are some of the many Swansea Bay UFO experiences which make up a new database established by the recently formed Swansea UFO Network.

Who's set it up?

The group was founded last year by Emlyn Williams and Steve Drewson to document and investigate sightings of unidentified aerial objects and phenomena in the Swansea Bay area, aimed at providing a forum for debate for anyone interested in the subject.

Mr Williams said: “Our first monthly meeting was held in April 2015 at the Welcome Inn in Llangyfelach, Swansea, and was very well attended. Since then we have held monthly meetings and have had guests speakers from the Ufology communtity.

Read more: If there really are aliens out there, we sure do spot a lot of them in Wales

“Many people who attend our meetings have had sightings and experiences to relate, sometimes for the first time, as their fear of ridicule in the past has kept them silent.

"Many witnesses have contacted us by telephone, email, or Facebook to report sightings.”

The new database of cases from the area has been sourced from newspaper reports, books and magazines, MOD reports and first-hand witness testimony – and these currently number over 350.

How do they operate?

Mr Williams said: “When we receive a report, either historical or current, we first look to see if they can be explained by ‘conventional’ means, such as balloons, Chinese lanterns, aircraft, meteors, planets etc.

“The behaviour and physical attributes of the object/s in each case usually tells us quickly what these could be. The cases where a ‘normal’ explanation cannot be applied are of most interest to us, and it seems that our initial geographical area of study has been filled with many ‘unexplained in conventional terms’ sightings.

“We are currently expanding our study area to cover all of South and West Wales as many sightings of objects travelling across the area could be corroborated by witnesses further east or west.”

Cases in the database include:

A man was 'lifted in the air'

1856: In the Vale of Neath, Ronald Rhys reported “being lifted into the air” after investigating a light and added he was examined by strange creatures and found he had been missing from home for a week.

It came from the sea

September 1957: A “blood-red ‘globe” rising out of the sea was viewed from Porthcawl by two police officers.

Wales News Service

Jellyfish?

August 1963: An orange object “like a jellyfish” was spotted over Langland Bay.

Like a cigar

November 1965: A huge cigar-shaped object hovering over Singleton Hospital, Swansea, caused lights on all the floors to flicker on and off, before it suddenly vanished in an instant.

An actual alien

Winter 1969: “An Alien” seen in St Thomas, Swansea.

It rose from a field

August 1977: A UFO seen rising from a field at Bishopston, Swansea, by two boys, one of whom was the son of the local vicar, who went to the site and reported marks on the ground.

Spotted over Briton Ferry

December 1977: Disc-shaped object reported seen over Briton Ferry.

Mystery white light

August 1987: Two uniformed police officers at Caswell, Swansea, saw a white light before it shot off over the sea.

'Huge' objects

Autumn 1988: Three huge disc-shaped objects were seen moving low over Crofty, Gower.

Spotted near the DVLA

The most recent sighting came on April 20, 2016 when a couple walking their dog in Clase, Swansea, near the DVLA, photographed an object in the sky as it moved from south to north without any sound.

The photograph taken by the couple was handed to the UFO network.

A Shocking Start to Life? Impact Craters May Have Triggered Life’s Origin

 

smashingtops

IN BRIEF

Researchers studying a giant impact crater in Ontario, Canada, have uncovered evidence that early life may have evolved in self-contained hydrothermal systems existing within such impact basins.

POCKET ECOSYSTEMS

A new study, published this week in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, may provide new clues to one of the most intractable mysteries confronting human knowledge—the Origin of Life.

And those clues emanate from an unusual source—cometary and meteoritic impact craters. The study posits the notion that these craters, which—according to the record of other planets and our own Moon—plentifully formed on our planet during the Late Heavy Bombardment, may have produced conditions favorable to the creation of life in the Earth’s early oceans.

The interface between water and impact-heated rock, it is believed, conduced to the formation of complex organic molecules; subsequently, these craters became “pocket ecosystems” where life’s experiment could play out in isolation, before spreading to the wider world. It may also explain the mystery of why life’s most basal stem, the hyperthermophilic Archaea, seem preferentially to inhabit extreme environments deadly to the Johnny-come-latelies, like the Eubacteria and our own Eukarya.

Scientists have long proposed that comet and meteor impacts shuttled the important raw materials of life—like water, glycine and β-alanine—from the Sun’s outer natal cloud to the hot early Earth, where such volatiles had long since evaporated.

But the team of researchers, led by Edel O’Sullivan of the Trinity College Dublin School of Natural Sciences, suggests that the craters themselves incubated and fueled life’s origin, providing the catalytic energy to synthesize new molecules and power the evolution of the first metabolic, self-replicating systems.

HYDROTHERMAL ANALOGUES

Many origin-of-life scenarios have posited that life formed around oceanic hydrothermal vents, like the “black smokers” found near the mid-ocean ridges. But O’Sullivan rejects such structures as unlikely to have existed on the early Earth—they’re tectonic features, but that was a time when plate tectonics had yet to be initiated.

But by studying the ancient, ca. 200 km-wide (124 mi-wide) Sudbury impact crater basin in Ontario, Canada, the team realized that hydrothermal analogues could form within such impact craters. By probing the geologic layers of the crater, it was learned that the crater filled with seawater very quickly, when the bottom layer was still molten from the impact; volcanic rocks were deposited in a layer up to 1.5 km (almost a mile) thick, which indicates a long period of isolation from the wider ocean.

This intra-crater volcanic activity produced hydrothermal activity, and the existence of higher amounts of carbon and the depletion of nutrients in the layers above hint at the presence of microbial life.

“There is clear evidence for exhaustion of molybdenum in the water column, and this strongly indicates a closed environment, shut off from the surrounding ocean,” says O’Sullivan.

These impact-induced hydrothermal systems, existing in closed ecosystems, may provide the needed evidence for certain theories on the Origin of Life—such as Wächtershäuser’s “Iron-Sulfur World” hypothesis, which posits the evolution of a proto-metabolism on pyrite minerals in hydrothermal environments.

Move over, Roswell. Dulce is home to true UFO believers

Dulce native Geraldine Julian points to a mountainside on Archuleta Mesa where she said area residents claim to have seen UFOs enter the so-called Dulce Base, an alleged underground base for space aliens. Daniel J. Chacón/The New Mexican

By Daniel J. Chacón
The New Mexican

DULCE — Something strange is happening in this tiny town on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in the far reaches of Northern New Mexico.

Residents claim they’re seeing — even photographing — flying saucers and other unidentified flying objects over the community of about 2,600 people, many of whom also share stories of low-flying military helicopters and fast-moving lights darting back and forth in the sky.

One resident even claims to have tracked Bigfoot.

But it’s the unexplained activity in the sky — and possibly underneath a neighboring mountain — that has captivated this community, the capital of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Everyone knows about New Mexico’s decades-long connection with UFOs, starting with the reported crash landing of an unidentified flying object on a ranch near Roswell in 1947.

Since then, New Mexicans have reported hundreds of sightings and encounters with UFOs. Roswell has built an industry around its fabled alien visitors with a museum and annual festival devoted to them.

But if Roswell is the capital of New Mexico’s fascination with the unexplained, Dulce is the town of true believers.

“The whole town of Dulce, whoever you want to talk to, they’ll tell you what they’ve seen — a lot of them,” said 78-year-old Geraldine Julian, who claims to have seen multiple UFOs and other strange activity starting in the 1960s.

“It’s not just a fairy tale,” Julian insisted. “All the things are true, and I believe every last one of them, too, because I’ve seen it myself.”

Julian swears she saw “a big spaceship” hovering above her property just outside of town.

“The bottom part was flat … but on top there was a dome,” she said while resting near a blocked-off bridge where the alleged UFO flew over. “There was movement inside.”

Talk of UFOs and other unexplained activity in and around this isolated community just south of the Colorado border is not new.

Legend has it that Dulce is ground zero for space aliens who are working in concert with the government in a not-so-secret facility underneath Archuleta Mesa, a steep, flat-topped mountain overlooking the town.

“In 1979, businessman Paul Bennewitz was convinced he was picking up electronic communications from alien spacecraft, and after further investigations, he claims he discovered a secret underground base near the town of Dulce where these signals were coming from,” according to the Top5s, a YouTube channel that ranked the Dulce Base the second most mysterious and highly forbidden place on the planet.

“His results excited the UFO community and by 1990, well-known ufologist John Lear also claims he had proof the base existed, and the theories have been going on ever since,” according to the report, which has received more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.

The so-called Dulce Base, which was featured on the History Channel’s UFO Hunters television show, purportedly contains multiple levels, including areas for genetic and mind-control experiments and cryogenics storage. As the story goes, the Dulce Base serves as the hub of an underground transportation system linked to other alien bases, including one in Taos.

“I’m not a believer,” said one of the cooks at the Players Sports Bar & Grill a local gathering spot that sells a “Sasquatch Burger,” an enormous hamburger with 2 pounds of beef, six strips of bacon and four slices of cheese between bread in the shape of a big foot. Near the entrance of the bar is a poster with two green space aliens, one dressed as a cowboy and the other as an Indian with a headdress, and the words, “Where the locals hang out!”

The Wild Horse Casino next door also is trying to capitalize on the alleged space alien activity. Among the T-shirts for sale in the casino’s gift shop is one featuring a green alien with big, blue eyes over the caption, “I got probed at Dulce Base.”

Chelse Anderson, 27, who works at the casino, said the hotel attracts visitors who are specifically in search of UFOs.

“They prefer rooms with a view of the mountain, that way they can see it,” she said. “We have some [guests] that wander around the building at night.”

The casino hotel is already booked for next weekend in anticipation of the Dulce Base UFO Conference, which a local nonprofit is hosting as a fundraiser. The nonprofit, Apache Indigenous Defenders Inc., is raising money to support organizations that work to keep local Native traditions alive.

In an area with little economic activity, the president of the Jicarilla Apache Legislative Council has embraced the notion of a Dulce Base, partly in a push to stimulate tourism in a largely forgotten pocket of the state.

“We are a proud nation who remain steadfast to our way of life as Jicarilla Apaches,” council President Ty Vicenti wrote in a welcome message posted on the conference website.

“Our people have been blessed with an outstanding first of the year, as snow has given us hope for a prosperous 2016,” he wrote. “Please take the time to visit our many tribal businesses, enjoy a meal from local vendors located on Commercial Street, visit the Arts and Crafts Department and talk to the many tribal members who have first hand contact with UFO sightings and stories.”

Dulce, which became the headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache Nation in 1887, is perhaps best known among Northern New Mexicans as the location of the annual Little Beaver Roundup Rodeo.

The former logging town has no traffic lights or Starbucks or McDonald’s. Rather, there are a handful of convenience stores and small mom-and-pop restaurants on either side of N.M. 64. One of the main economic drivers is the casino, which, unlike other Indian casinos in New Mexico, closes at night.

Anderson, a Dulce native, said she’s never seen an unidentified flying object but hopes she will one day.

“Numerous people have seen stuff,” she said. “I believe there’s something there.”

She’s not alone.

In fact, one Dulce resident believes he captured UFOs on his camera.

“I took this picture about 3 o’clock in the morning,” a man who works in the tribal government’s Public Safety Division said Wednesday while displaying a grainy photo on his phone that shows several balls of light suspended in the air.

The man, who declined to give his name for fear of losing his job, also has two photos taken in broad daylight that appear to show one and then two UFOs floating in the clouds. The man declined to share his photos.

“The way the government is, the way things are, I don’t want [it] to come back on me,” he said. “Plus, I’m [a public safety employee]. I’m not even supposed to be talking about this because of my job.”

A former New Mexico State Police trooper, the late Gabe Valdez, documented unexplained cattle mutilations in the area in the mid-1970s, boosting speculation of alien activity.

But the evidence left behind didn’t come from outer space, Valdez said in different interviews.

“The evidence that was left there, you know, predators don’t leave gas masks, glow sticks, radar chaff. They don’t leave that stuff. They don’t have vitamin B-12,” Valdez said in a radio interview.

In an interview with the History Channel’s UFO Hunters, Valdez said the most anomalous evidence he came across while investigating cattle mutilations happened about 40 miles east of Dulce.

“We could tell where the aircraft came through,” Valdez said. “They didn’t do the whole process, and they left a fetus inside the animal.”

“A fetus? A cow fetus,” UFO researcher Pat Uskert asked Valdez.

“No,” Valdez replied. “It looked like a human, a monkey and a frog. It didn’t have any bones in the head. It was all full of water.”

When asked if he was implying that the cow was being used as an “incubation chamber for a cloned creature,” Valdez said that’s “exactly” what he was saying.

In an interview with Open Minds Radio, Valdez said he found listening devices in his home after investigating the cattle mutilations. He also claimed to have seen “sophisticated aircraft,” including an orb that looked like a hot air balloon.

“People have seen the helicopters. They’re black and silent,” Valdez said in the radio interview.

Tim Anderson, who is Navajo and married to an Apache, said stories of black helicopters and bright lights over Archuleta Mesa are commonplace in Dulce. He describes the town as the Roswell of Northern New Mexico.

“I don’t know what it is,” he said. “I can’t explain it.”

Anderson is more interested in what’s on the ground than in the air.

Specifically, he’s tracking Bigfoot.

“I do believe there is a mystical creature out there that nobody knows about,” said Anderson, who claims to have found two separate Bigfoot footprints that he made into casts.

“I believe there is something out there,” he said. “One of these days, somebody will find something.”

Anderson, who was a police officer in Dulce for 14 years, said he saw a UFO in a canyon near Archuleta Mesa while working in the late 1990s.

“It lit up the whole valley and just disappeared into the rocks,” he said. “I just rubbed my eyes. ‘Did I really see that?’ ”

Photographers Team Up To Explore The Modern UFO Myth

Is alien life a conspiracy theory or a modern-day religion?

“PHENOMENA”

Frank Kinbler, an assistant professor of Earth sciences at New Mexico Military Institute, is working in his spare time to bring forth scientifically correct evidence from the Roswell crash site.

Frank Kimbler teaches geology and Earth sciences at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. In his spare time, he attempts to find evidence of the purported UFO crash that occurred in 1947. According to Open Minds, a UFO news source, Kimbler has allegedly collected plastic and metal debris, some of which shows signs of being made “off planet.”

We probably won’t live to find out definitively whether we are not alone in the universe, whether extraterrestrial life is indeed a reality. But perhaps just as interesting as the question of whether or not a little green man is hovering above us in a cylindrical spacecraft is why so many Americans tell this story to begin with. 

In their upcoming photo book “Phenomena,” photographers Tobias Selnaes Markussen, Sara Galbiati and Peter Helles Eriksen — known together as the Phenomena Collective — examine how we as a culture molded this particular and peculiar myth of alien life. As shown in the compassionate yet unbiased images, the artists are interested less in the validity of the stories of extraterrestrial sightings and more in the collective imagination that shapes them. 

“PHENOMENA”

“What makes the UFO phenomena?“ the photographers ask on Kickstarter. “Is it just a commercially profitable story, a delusion with social consequences, a religious myth or even a physical phenomenon?” Journeying through Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona, Markussen, Galbiati and Eriksen piece together a contemporary collage of the UFO myth, framing the belief as a powerful alternate religion in which no one is truly ever alone. 

Working together as a collective, the artists document real-life individuals who believe in alien life and work to spread their truth, whether through research or guided tours. Other photos depict various pieces of evidence from specific UFO sightings and crashes. Framed as an anthropological study and presented from a fictional perspective, the images don’t demand that the viewer determine them true or false. Rather, the photographs create an intriguing story of an radical belief system, that, over time, seems to be gaining more and more traction and respect. 

“PHENOMENA”

For example, last year Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA, announced her belief that society is just decades away from getting the evidence we need to confirm the existence of alien life. “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years ... We know where to look. We know how to look. In most cases, we have the technology, and we’re on a path to implementing it. And so I think we’re definitely on the road.”

Phenomena Collective’s photos capture this kind of belief at the crucial moment when fantasy could start to look more like truth, examining just why and how this shift is occurring. 

While most often, outside of UFO-obsessed circles, those who believe in extraterrestrials are presented as ignorant, naive or just plain weird, the Phenomena Collective withholds all judgment, positive or negative, and simply presents the beauty and strangeness of this growing subculture as is. As presented by the photographers, UFO mythology is not an outlying belief in American thought. Something about the story has woven itself into the dominant cultural imagination, and that’s more powerful than any flying saucer could ever be. 

The Phenomena Collective is currently raising funds to publish their photo book onKickstarter. Although they’ve already reached their goal of $12,000, every dollar helps, and you still have until Monday, May 9, to donate to this out-of-this-world cause.

The illusion of past, present, future

Robert Lanza and Deepak Chopra

The universe evolves backward in time, not the other way around as we were taught in school. "The histories of the universe," concedes Stephen Hawking, the famed physicist "depend on what is being measured, contrary to the usual idea that the universe has an objective observer-independent history."

Life is not just a collection of atoms — proteins and molecules spinning like planets around the sun. It is true that the laws of chemistry can tackle the rudimentary biology of living systems, but there is more to us than the sum of our biochemical functions. Conversely, physical existence cannot be divorced from the animal life that coordinates experience. We are connected not only by intertwined consciousness, but by a pattern that is a template for the universe itself.

Quantum physics tells us that objects exist in a suspended physical state until observed, when they collapse to just one outcome — we don't know what happens until we investigate, and our investigation influences that reality. Whether or not certain events may have happened some time ago, may not actually be determined until some time in your future — it may actually be contingent upon actions that have not yet taken place.

Bizarre? Maybe you don't believe this is real. Consider an experiment that was published in Science a couple of years ago. Scientists in France shot particles of light "photons" into a measuring apparatus, and showed that what they did — now, in the present — could retroactively change something that had already happened in the past. As the photons passed a fork in the apparatus, they had to decide whether to behave like particles or waves when they hit a beam splitter. Later on — well after the photons passed the fork — the experimenter could randomly switch a second beam splitter on and off electronically. It turns out that what the observer decided at that point, determined what the particle actually did at the fork in the past. At that moment, the experimenter chose his reality.

Of course, we live in the same world. No physicist challenges the fact that particles do not exist with definite physical properties until they are observed. Every particle has a range of possible physical states, but it's not until the actual act of observation that it takes on defined properties. So until the present is determined, how can there be a past?

According to eminent physicist John Wheeler, one of Albert Einstein's last collaborators "The quantum principle shows that there is a sense in which what an observer will do in the future defines what happens in the past."

It was only with the advent of quantum physics that scientists began to consider again the old question of the possibility of comprehending the world as a form of mind. Since that time, physicists have analyzed and revised their equations in a vain attempt to arrive at a statement of natural laws that in no way depends on the circumstances of the observer. It seems only natural that the daily circuit of, say, moon round earth, though satiable only by a mind, was independent of any perception whatever. But this was to prove an illusion.

In these days of experiment and disconnected theory, one point seems certain: the nature of the universe cannot be divorced from the nature of life itself. Indeed, the quantum theory implies that consciousness must exist, and that the content of the mind is the ultimate reality. If we do not look at it, the moon is gone. In this world, only an act of observation can confer shape and form to reality — to a dandelion in a meadow, or a seed pod, or the sun or wind or rain. Anyway, it's amazing, and even your dog can do it too.

According to biocentrism, space and time are not the not the hard objects we think (Lanza and Berman, Biocentrism, BenBella, 2009). Wave your hand through the air. If you take everything away, what's left? The answer, of course, is nothing. The same thing applies for time — you can't put it in a marmalade jar. Look at anything — say this page. You can't see it through the bone that surrounds your brain. Everything you see and experience right now is a whirl of information occurring in your mind. Space and time are simply the mind's tools for putting everything together. We carry them around with us like turtles with shells. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, they are not "real and insurmountable."

In the end, even Einstein admitted, "Now Besso" (one of his oldest friends) "has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like usÉknow that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

Huge UFO Over St. Louis Cardinals Game On May 3, 2016, Photos, UFO Sightings Daily.

Date of sighting: May 3, 2016
Location of sighting: St.Louis, Missouri , USA
Source: MUFON #76223

This witnesses photos are really big. Probably using a very powerful camera when taking these photos. These you see here are just very close up screenshots of the photos I made. We can see that the UFO does look metallic between two bright balls of light. In others its long and thin. 

This UFO is really high up and had to have shown up on radar for that area. This object must have been big, because it was seen from a great distance away and his photos are really fantastic. How could others not see this you ask? Others did see it, but often 95% of the people who see UFOs often dismiss it, but later end up regretting not taking it  more seriously at the time.

Eyewitness states:
My family and I just left the St. Louis Cardinal game, we were driving west on hwy 40, I was the first to see it. Off in the distance (approx 4 or 5 miles away) in the west (SW from our current position) I could see an extremely bright row of lights (4 round very large set of lights side by side). Like stadium lighting. I pointed it out to my husband and son. My husband said "it's just lights on top of a building or crane", "no big deal"... As we got closer to it we realized, there were NO buildings or cranes around! All highway and some trees. The lights were straight forward like headlights. It seemed like it was in the same spot from when I first spotted it. We got onto the off ramp from hwy 40 and were going to head south on hwy 270. As soon as we got onto hwy 270 my husband pulled to the shoulder so I could try and get some better pictures of this "floating light tower". 

It seemed like it was less than a quarter of a mile to the right of us at that point. Since we were stopped and now looking up at this thing we realized it was moving really super slow instead of hanging out in mid air like we originally thought. We could now see it's triangular shape and the lights were not as I described above but rather, Two in front toward the outer tip of the wings and two toward the top center. And what looked like rope lighting around the outer perimeter.The lights definitely seemed to dim down as it was passing over us. My husband said there were a set of colored blinking lights on the under side, but I honestly didn't notice them. It was bigger than our truck (ext cab silverado) and made absolutely NO SOUND?! The whole time! That was the most amazing part... How something so big flying through the air could be so quiet? And there wasn't a moment during this amazing experience, where we felt scared or threatened in any way. It stayed a safe distance above us, about as low as a helicopter would fly when doing a traffic report. As it was passing over us it picked up a tremendous amount of speed. Almost like it noticed us watching it... (I know, let's not get crazy) Then it took off straight toward St. Louis (East) then shot up ward at an angle toward the SE. Within seconds it was out of sight. Even though it was about 11pm on a Tuesday, there was a Blues game and Cardinal game that just let out... So the highways were far from empty.

UFO Moves Over Mexican Volcano On April 26, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: April 26, 2016
Location of sighting: Volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico

This UFO was caught over a volcano in Mexico last month. The UFO shoots directly over the mouth of the volcano as if it were beaming people up or down, then leaves. This is not a passenger jet, because no pilot would be foolish enough to endanger its passengers by flying directly over the mouth of a live volcano the suddenly explodes unpredictably miles in to the air every few weeks.

Investigative Look Into Beliefs About UFOs and Aliens

A man claimed a UFO abducted him while going back to home from work in Arizona about 41 years ago.

The man is Travis Walton, who reappeared five days after his apparent abduction on November 5, 1975.

Now, an upcoming photo book, “Phenomena,” featured Walton and other people that have a connection in several UFO sighting reports. The book offers an investigative look into beliefs of Americans about UFOs and aliens. Danish photographers Tobias Selnaes Markussen, Sara Galbiati, and Peter Helles Eriksen created it.

Galbiati said that they just had a mutual interest in the subject matter. They don’t make the project as being believers or how they believe in UFOs, but more on telling the buyers of the book that there was a group of people that believed so much in UFOs and aliens that they saw the world completely different than most individuals.

The images for the book were all shot last year in New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada, including Area 51, the highly guarded U.S. Air Force facility, located in the remote area, near the town of Rachel in Nevada.

Galbiati said that all areas that they visited had some meaning or significance, including Phoenix, where a supposed UFO sighting, known as the Phoenix Lights, was reported on 13th of March 1997.

Galbiati also revealed that in Denmark or Europe, the thing is taboo. He explained that if people believe in UFOs in those areas, they keep it to themselves. He added that the matter isn’t something people go around and talking because the majority will think that individuals who discuss it are mad.

However, in America, according to Galbiati, they were more understanding as people respect the belief of others. It’s almost like a religion wherein people won’t judge the believers, added Galbiati.

Parallel Universe Has Been Discovered – Soon Other Dimensions Too! 

Art by Raphael Terra @http://ufoartist.blogspot.co.uk/

Leading Scientists believe that they may have discovered another alternate Universe on the outer edge of the Universe we live in, making this quite possibly one of the biggest discoveries yet for mankind.

After hours of studying intense amounts of data in California it now appears that a new Universe has been discovered beyond our own (well the one we live in). New Scientist were actually the first guys to report on the findings of Ranga-Ram Chary – He studied the data of the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope at its offices at CalTech in California, and he has released his extremely interesting findings.

Through some rather intense studies, he has now discovered another universe which is quite literally bumping into ours with its very own set of physics. This sounds a little crazy and unbelievable but this is all a 100% official information.

This has to be one of the most important finds ever out in space and could also pretty much prove that there is life out there – even though this is something we already know – many of us have seen the truth with our very own eyes!

A whole new Universe(s) out there

A parallel universe could definitely mean life does exist elsewhere. This is not some made up Science Fiction story, but the actual results of some serious research which has been conducted over many years.

Scientists are discovering more and more out there in space in recent years, but I guess this finding is going to be  one of the most important out of them all.  This turns fantasy into FACT!

But the big question is will they, the guys in the know tell us the truth about what they really know??

It was during his studies that Chary discovered the strange “mysterious glow” which could actually be an alternate universe leaking into our very own Universe that we live in. Chary accidentally come across this discovery while studying the data of the cosmic wave background at the edge of our universe.

This intriguing find has been compared to bubbles bumping into one another.

Bubble like Universe ?

The tweet that confirmed the significant find by Chary:

An interesting way of looking at this exciting find is to consider the time that our Universe was created bumped against another universe, and that alternate universe left behind its mark. UK newspaper The ‘Daily Mail’ released the comments made by Chary in his recent study:

“The fine tuning of parameters in the early universe required to reproduce our present day universe suggests that our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region. ‘Many other regions beyond our observable universe would exist with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our universe.” He said.

Chary expects a lot of negative criticism over his recent find (something us truth seekers are used to) and he admits that it may be difficult to prove.  He noted in his recent study:

“Unusual claims like evidence for alternate universes require a very high burden of proof.”

Credit where credit is due, Chary has created an awful lot of interest in his discovery , with many leading Scientists reaching out to him to give their views and opinions.

One of the Scientists that are full of positivity was Jens Chluba of the University of Cambridge thinks there is something to Chary’s finding. Chluba said:

” To explain the signals that Dr Chary found with the cosmological recombination radiation, one needs a large enhancement in the number of [other particles] relative to photons. In the realm of alternative universes, this is entirely possible. I am certain he made every effort to ensure that the analysis is solid. It will be important to carry out an independent analysis and confirm his finding.”

There are those that are very dubious about this find, especially after last year Scientists thought they had discovered a new Universe, but later on discovered that it was just signals coming from our own Universe.

At this moment in time it is not possible to confirm whether another Universe has been discovered or not, but one thing is for sure these are extremely exciting times and we are on the edge of a new awakening for the Human Race!

Hunting For New Dimensions From Land – CERN

The LHC machine at CERN risks opening up Portals to the ‘unknown’

Whilst some Scientists are looking out towards the edges of space to confirm the existence of other Parallel Dimensions, the researchers at CERN working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are getting closer to finding a parallel universe and other Dimensions as well. Data that has been collected since June is now being studied. The LHC is focusing on miniature black holes that could mean that multiple universes exist.

“Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects (breath and length) can exist in a third dimension (height), parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions. We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.” Said Mir Faizal from the University of Waterloo who spoke with Daily Mail about the work the LHC is doing.

Please check out the interesting video below covering the search for other Dimensions:

The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 miles) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.  Many people believe, including Professor Stephen Hawking that the Large Hadron Collider is not just a risk to humanity, but a risk to the entire Universe.

Perhaps the Scientists don’t just want to learn about other Dimensions and alternate Universe, perhaps they want to see them with their very own eyes – but at what risk?

U.I.P SUMMARY – Some might say that the human race has some what become obsessed with other Dimensions and parallel Universe.  We are not just looking through the lens of powerful space telescopes to the outer limits of the Universe we are also looking to create ‘in some way’ our very own ‘Stargate’ in the LHC machine situated in CERN.  Perhaps the scientists have been informed by a superior race of Beings about how to travel beyond our own time and existence, it has been rumoured that the LHC is based on Alien Technology – whether fact or fiction this level of technology is like something out of a Sci-Fi movie.

Perhaps there are other universes out there which developed in exactly the same way ours has but with completely different outcomes, otherwise know as ‘Alternate Universes) – PERHAPS in an infinite universe which lies within many more infinite Universe (impossible to imagine beyond infinity right?) there are worlds with duplications of ourselves but NOT ourselves – this can be the same for other Dimensions theories, similar worlds but with different outcomes!

Whether or not another universe has indeed been discovered or not, our world leaders have become obsessed with what lies beyond – perhaps they want to learn about where our ET visitors are coming from!?

Scientists are reaching further and learning more about the universe. As technology continues to develop, scientists will learn even more. It is a matter of time.  Perhaps there are Star Wars type wars going on out there in deep space, and ‘Avatar’ type worlds out there – Science is proving every week now that anything is impossible in an infinite Universe(s).

Het geheim van piramiden eindelijk ontsluierd door nieuwe technologie - HLN.be

Bron: Discovery

VIDEO De interne structuur van een piramide kent nog vele geheimen maar een nieuwe techniek brengt daar nu drastisch verandering in. Met behulp van kosmische stralen worden de gangenstelsels eindelijk volledig blootgelegd en dat is van onschatbare waarde.

© Universiteit van Caïro.

De onderzoekers pasten de techniek voor de eerste keer toe op de piramide van Snofroe op 40 km van Caïro en de resultaten van de blauwdruk waren "uitstekend" volgens minister van Antiquiteiten Khaled El-Enany. 

Muonen
De technologie maakt gebruik van kosmische stralen of muonen die vanuit de atmosfeer continu op de aarde vallen en zich een weg door een object kunnen banen net zoals röntgenstralen onze botten in kaart brengen. Door platen te installeren in één van de kamers van het eeuwenoude bouwwerk kunnen de muonen gedetecteerd worden. Daarna gaan de experten na welke richting de verschillende muonen uitgaan.

Scannen
Dit stelt de archeologen in staat om het hele gangenstelsel en de afzonderlijke kamers te reconstrueren zonder het risico op beschadiging van het interieur. Zo hebben de onderzoekers de volledige piramide van Snofroe kunnen scannen nadat de platen veertig dagen werden blootgesteld aan de muonen. Hierdoor is aan het licht gekomen dat de farao Snofroe toch niet begraven ligt in een geheime kamer zoals eerder werd verondersteld.

Cheops
Vervolgens is de beroemde piramide van Cheops aan de beurt. De onderzoekers zullen daar de techniek van de muonen toepassen in combinatie met warmtetechnologie en infrarood-3D-scanners. Worden nieuwe ruimtes ontdekt of niet? De tijd zal het moeten uitwijzen. Maar spannend is het in ieder geval wel.

Egyptisch Atlantis: Verloren steden geven na meer dan 1000 jaar geheimen bloot

Tot 2001 werden twee van de meest bijzondere Egyptische steden als verloren beschouwd. Toen kwam de Franse archeoloog Franck Goddio, die een uitzonderlijke ontdekking deed op de zeebodem.

Meer dan 1000 jaar lag Thonis-Heracleion verborgen onder het wateroppervlak. In de resten van machtige tempels woonden vissen en hiërogliefen werden bedekt met alg. Het kostte Goddio meerdere jaren om de stad te verkennen.

Nijlgod Hapy (Franck Goddio)

Hij ontdekte ook Canopus, die in 1933 werd herontdekt door een Britse legerpiloot. De bijzondere vondsten zijn binnenkort te zien in het British Museum. De expositie Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worldstart 19 mei. Volgens curator Aurelia Masson-Berghoff worden enkele van de grootste archeologische mysteries ontrafeld.

Thonis-Heracleion en Canopus zijn waarschijnlijk zo rond 700 voor Christus gesticht en fungeerden als handelsknooppunt tussen het oude Egypte, Griekenland en het Middellandse Zeegebied.

Als gevolg van een aantal natuurlijke fenomenen, waaronder een stijgende zeespiegel en aardbevingen, werden de steden verzwolgen door de zee. In de ruïnes zijn veel standbeelden van Ptolemaïsche goden gevonden. Dat waren menselijke versies van een zeer oude Egyptische god, de heilige stier Osiris-Apis. Die werd in Griekenland Serapis genoemd.

Tijdens de expositie worden een aantal van deze Grieks-Macedonische heersers die afgebeeld staan als Egyptische farao’s getoond. Het grootste voorwerp is een standbeeld van Nijlgod Hapy, die werd gezien als de bron van het leven voor heel Egypte. Het standbeeld is bijna vijf meter hoog en weegt ongeveer zes ton.

Een tablet met hiërogliefen dat te zien zal zijn (Franck Goddio)

Goddio ontdekte ook 69 schepen op de zeebodem, de ‘grootste verzameling boten ooit gevonden’. “Wat je moet weten is dat slechts vijf procent is opgegraven,” benadrukt de curator. “Ze hebben veel materiaal achtergelaten.”

Triangle UFO spotted over Los Angeles County

A California witness at Inglewood reported watching a triangle UFO that made no sound, according to testimony in Case 76010 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his wife and two kids were outside talking at 8:30 p.m. on April 23, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“Suddenly saw a triangular-shaped object with lights almost a yellowish tone,” the witness stated.“The object was gliding on a straight line going west.”

The object was immediately unusual.

“The object was apparently close or too big and there was no kind of noise produced by the flying object that was flying at approximately at 50 mph.”

The triangle-shaped object made no noise. Pictured: Inglewood, California. (Credit: Google)

The witness believes the object was not man-made.

“To my wife and I there was no doubt what we were witnessing was a non-man-made airplane or drone. The object we were looking at was way too fast and big. The object looked nothing like a drone, airplane or helicopter. This object was flat and produced no noise, almost like the object was trying to sneak through the sky.”

The object startled the witness and his wife.

“I was in shock and couldn’t react fast enough to capture the object on video and my wife was so excited as well. She did try to take a picture, but the picture was unsuccessful. All the lights from the neighborhood were too bright and the cellphone camera didn’t capture the object, or at least we can’t tell if it is there or not. The flying source simply disappeared before our eyes continuing its way to the west exactly in direction to the LAX leaving us speechless and with the certainty that what we both witnessed was a once in a life time experience.”

The object did not look like anything the witness was familiar with. Pictured: Inglewood, California. (Credit: Google)

Inglewood is a city in southwestern Los Angeles County, population 109,673.

California MUFON Field Investigator Earl Anderson is investigating. The witness included one illustration with the report, which was filed on April 24, 2016. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Utah witness recounts UFO encounter near military base

A Utah witness at Dugway recalled a UFO incident from 1992 when he and two friends approached an object hovering 20 feet over the roadway, according to testimony in Case 75923 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

Three witnesses came upon a UFO hovering just 20 feet over the roadway near Dugway, Utah, in 1992. Pictured: Dugway Proving Ground. (Credit: Google)

The reporting witness and two friends were invited by a mutual friend to go bowling on June 15, 1992.

“She was living with her grandparents in Dugway on the military base,” the witness stated.“We started driving out towards Dugway in late afternoon. Just before dark we crossed Johnson pass, which is a small mountain pass just before a long straight road leading up to the army base.”

The witness was riding with two friends.

“I was in the front passenger seat. My friend Jeremy was driving. And Ryan was in the back seat of the car.”

The group noticed something ahead of them in the roadway.

“As we dropped down out of the pass and started across the small valley we noticed something stretched across the road. As we came within about half a mile from the object we discussed what we each thought it looked like.”

As the witnesses approached the UFO, it changed shape and moved quickly away. (Credit: Google)

The three tried to guess what they were seeing.

“I said, ‘It looks like a big piece of plastic or a parachute because the edges of the object were kind of fluttering around on the edges, but it can’t be because it’s standing about 20 feet high off the road.’ It also had a white light that was either coming from behind or from inside of the object. I didn’t see any direct light. It seemed to be all indirect.”

The three continued to drive toward the object.

“When we reached a distance of about 100 yards, my friend slowed down and stopped the car. Just as we opened the doors, the object changed shape! It quickly changed into a cone shape. The white light brightened and then streaked straight up with a popping sound scattering dirt and rocks out from the area. The craft left our sight almost instantly and didn’t return. Both of my friends saw all of these things as well. We all kind of talked about what had happened after that, but never since!”

Dugway is about 85 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utha. (Credit: Google)

Dugway is in Tooele County, Utah, population 2,016. “Dugway” is synonymous with the United States Army’s giant testing facility, Dugway Proving Ground. The housing area designated for military and civilian personnel is referred to as “English Village.”The name “Dugway” comes from a technique to dig a trench along a hillside to keep a wagon from tipping.

MUFON Utah is investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

UFO Caught Over Chatsworth, UK On May 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 5, 2016
Location of sighting: Chatsworth, UK
News source: 

https://www.ecr.co.za/shows/east-coast-breakfast/kzns-clearest-ufo-sighting/

I love how this video catches the movement of the UFO. Its not often you get to see one move around without the camera bouncing up and down. This object moves smoothly across the sky and seems to be illuminated by the moon light. 
Scott C. Waring
www.ufosightingsdaily.com 

News states:
Our country is no stranger to unidentified sightings and unexplained lights in the sky. For months now random alleged 'extra-terrestrial' activities have been reported and this footage is the most bizarre from KZN. A teenage girl from Chatsworth - Mechille Mudaly, filmed what seems to be a bright light in motion in the sky around. At a glance it seems like a street light, but when you look closer - you notice that the bright light gets brighter and it's moving.
