The search for extraterrestrials: How to tell the world you've discovered an alien civilisation
The search for extraterrestrials: How to tell the world you've discovered an alien civilisation
By Duncan Forgan
How do you tell people you have found aliens?IStock
After countless fictional scenarios of humans making contact with alien civilisations, you'd think we'd be prepared for actually discovering one. But finding intelligent life beyond the Earth is clearly likely to be one of the most shattering moments in the history of our species.
So if you've just discovered an alien civilisation, how should you go about breaking the news? This is a momentous task, and I have been involved in developing some guidelines for the scientists who are involved in searching for extraterrestrial life. The research is due to be published in the journal Acta Astronautica.
With the millions of dollars currently being invested in initiatives such the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), some would argue it is only a matter of time before we do come across intelligent life. I'm personally not convinced, but pessimism isn't enough to abandon a search. The scientific method requires us to test our hypotheses with observation and experiment – regardless of our initial prejudices.
If we ever do find signs of intelligent life, I don't expect it to be a message from an alien civilisation or a landing party. It will probably be something a little more prosaic, such as signs of artificial pollution in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. It may even take the form of enormous structures built in space to collect energy and provide habitats.
Artist impression of an alien megstructureDanielle Futselaar/SETI International
I showed in some work a few years ago that we would be able to see such megastructures in exoplanet transit data, such as that gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope. True enough, Kepler did see weird objects such as Tabby's Star, KIC 8426582, with features similar to those predicted would come from artificial structures. But like most astronomers, I'm still a sceptic – a swarm of comets around Tabby's Star producing incredible changes in brightness is still the more sensible interpretation.
What's really encouraging about this, though, is that it shows SETI can be done "on the cheap", taking advantage of publicly available astronomical data to search for aliens. For a pessimist like me, this seems like a much more appropriate strategy.
The flurry of internet activity surrounding Tabby's star – blogs, tweets, news stories and theKickstarter campaign to encourage the public to support further observations – demonstrate how different the world has become since SETI began around 60 years ago.
Super-connected world
If evidence of extraterrestrial life ever came to us from the stars, what should the discoverers do next? This is something astrobiologists have pondered for decades. In 1989, a committee of SETI scientists even drew up a set of post-detection protocols to guide scientists through the steps after discovery. These steps include getting your colleagues to verify the discovery, and notifying "relevant national authorities" (precisely who this means is unclear to me), followed by the scientific community and then the public via a press release.
However, this set of guidelines was written before the age of the internet. Back then, we got our news via the paper or the TV screen. Even 24-hour news was in its infancy. Nowadays, the news world is a fragmented sphere of articles placed on our devices and in our feeds via a variety of social media tools, shared by our friends and family. Data flows extremely rapidly, and easily gets amplified and distorted.
That is why my colleague Alexander Scholz and I decided to take another look at the issue, asking how the SETI post-detection protocols should change to reflect our super-connected world. We quickly realised that scientists need guidance before starting the experiment, let alone after making a detection. It is now common practice for new scientific projects to set up a blog about their work, and this will be essential for SETI. The blog should include a clear description of what a certain project will do, and what the criteria are for a successful detection, a false positive and no detection. This would help journalists and the public alike to avoid misinterpreting the results.

The individuals involved need to be credible communicators of their work, so maintaining good digital presence in the early stages is very helpful. We also recommend they update their security settings to protect against nefarious individuals broadcasting their personal information – which is sadly a real risk these days.
If a team is lucky enough to make even an unconfirmed, tentative detection, they must be sure to have nothing to hide. Leaks are unavoidable, and alarmingly rapid. Nobody wants an "aliens found" story that turns out to be false. The best way to do this is to publish data immediately. If it's very clear that the detection is unconfirmed, and natural or man-made causes can't be ruled out, then there is no room for conspiracy theorists to wail about the scientists' collusion with the men in black(an accusation flung at me more than once). It also gives other scientists the chance to check the work, and verify the detection.
Of course, we've all seen some of the comments on YouTube or other media sites – there are numpties everywhere, and there is seemingly no stopping good scientific discussion being twisted into inexplicable diatribes and vile hate speech. Therefore, the most important piece of advice for scientists is to be involved in the conversation.
If a publicised detection turns out to be false, the team should immediately make a public statement making it clear that no aliens have been discovered and why. They should even publish a paper retracting it if they have to.
But whoever discovers intelligent life should also prepare for it to swallow up the rest of their life – there isn't going to be time for much else. Their new job will instead be to help humanity come to terms with its new identity, as just one of multiple intelligent civilisations in the universe.

Barack Obama To Reveal UFO, Alien Information Kept Secret For 20 Years?
Barack Obama To Reveal UFO, Alien Information Kept Secret For 20 Years?
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician serving as the 44th President of the United States. Wikimedia Commons/Steve Jurvetson
Obama's last days in the office might be defined by an extra-terrestrial revelation. According to reports, the US commander in chief has been close to announcing an alien and UFO activity before he steps down from his post.
The US President is affected by the same revelation promises made by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during her campaign. In relation to this, executive director Stephen Bassett of the US-based Paradigm Research Group believes that there might be a huge announcement in the days to come, adding that David Cameron will also follow suit. Bassett has been trying to persuade the White House to give the details that have been kept for 20 years. The 69-year-old Bassett believes that this is the greatest news story ever been broken, and that he thinks that Obama's revelation will be a Nobel Prize worthy.
Obama's possible revelation would happen just months following Clinton's statement in a US talk show saying that she was eager on the transparency of information about UFOs and ET, Express reported.
Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Clinton spoke in Jimmy Kimmer Live as is reportedly leading the race against Berni Sanders for party nomination for the upcoming election in November. Just like her husband Bill, who also guested on the show in 2014 and was also asked if he has ever been into UFOs or in Area 51, which is a top secret air base rumored to back engineer an alien craft. Bill answered "sort of" and said he did not see dead aliens.
Hilary Clinton said that there is already a new name for UFO, which is unexplained aerial phenomena. She stated that she would want everyone to see the files and make every information public, saying that if there is nothing in the file, then people should be made aware. But she added that if there is something found there, it should be shared with the public unless it is going to be a national security risk, according to 12 News.
UFO hunters have declared that footage apparently showing a fleet of glowing orb UFOs over the city of Minsk in Belarus is proof of alien UFO and ET visitation to Earth. But skeptics have suggested that the footage likely shows Chinese lanterns.
The footage, showing an alleged fleet of bright or glowing orb UFOs, was recorded over a motorway and later over tower blocks in the city of Minsk and uploaded to YouTube on May 25, 2016, by alien hunter Ovnis Actuales.
It has drawn the attention of members of the online UFO community some of whom have challenged skeptics to explain away what they claim to be undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial craft hovering over a city in Belarus.
“Where are all the trolls with their stupid explanations?” a UFO believer Rio Angel taunts skeptics. “When they see film like this they hide under rocks shaking.”
“Where are all the trolls with their stupid explanations? When they see film like this they hide under rocks shaking.”
Commenting on the bizarre daylight sighting, UFO blogger Scott C. Waring notes that glowing orb UFOs are among the most commonly sighted worldwide and in space. UFO hunters have often reported sighting orb UFOs near the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit.
“The most common UFOs seen are glowing large orbs,” he writes. “These light up and disappear almost in sync.”
“I wish we had more footage and more info about this one. It is awesome that the person stopped their car and got out to record this. It is not recorded through glass, but just a normal view from the side of the road,” he adds.
UFO hunters have noted that the footage is reminiscent of the sighting of a fleet of mysterious UFOs over the famous port city of Osaka, Japan, in July, 2015.
TheInquisitr reported at the time that the bizarre footage shot over Osaka shows a swarm of about 10 mysterious orb UFOs floating silently over the city.
The footage sparked endless debate and speculation among UFO enthusiasts. But many agreed that the difficulty encountered in interpreting the footage was due to its poor quality.
However, some viewers suggested that the orbs could be white-colored balloons floating in the wind. Others compared the sighting to orb UFOs that appeared over Hyde Park in London the previous month. Pointing attention to the similarities between both sightings some UFO enthusiasts suggested there could be a link.
Was there an alien race conducting systematic surveillance flights over selected cities, some enthusiasts wondered.
The sighting over Hyde Park also drew the attention of the mainstream media because the orbs appeared for a few seconds and disappeared mysteriously in a manner that suggested that they were not ordinary man-made objects, such as balloons or Chinese lanterns.
Some UFO enthusiasts argued that the disappearance was due to a phenomenon that UFO researchers term “cloaking,” a reference to technology allegedly employed by ET visitors to disguise or hide their UFOs and make them invisible to human observers.
A favorite method of “cloaking” employed by alien visitors, according to UFO researchers, involves disguising UFO spacecraft as lenticular clouds.
A sighting of glowing orb UFOs also occurred in January, 2015, over Western Massachusetts. Footage captured on January 19, 2015, which went viral online, showed an orb UFO hovering over a building. The mysterious orb then released what appeared to be a smaller orb which flew off in a different direction.
Then some seconds later in the video the orb UFO released more orbs.
However, some skeptics claimed that the video was a CGI hoax.
Recently, a witness in Fairbanks, Alaska, filmed a mysterious UFO releasing multiple orbs mid-air before disappearing mysteriously (see YouTube below).
Multiple sightings of glowing orbs releasing smaller orbs over several locations in the country have sparked speculation among members of the UFO community that a stealth alien invasion of Earth could be underway, and that an alien species could be dropping “landing pods” containing alien invaders over multiple locations as part of efforts to plant sleeper cells of alien invaders across the country.
UFO conspiracy theorists have always claimed that there are aliens living among us on Earth in disguise.
Skeptics have often tried to explain away sightings of glowing orb UFOs as Chinese lanterns, balloons, flares, or parachutes with lights.
“Yupp Chinese laterns, now we have SuperBrite LEDs, small lithium batteries and a helium filled balloon and you can have all sorts of fun.”
“Have these idiots ever heard of Chinese lanterns?”
But UFO hunters have scoffed at consistent attempts to explain away orb UFOs as Chinese lanterns, saying that while some sightings could be Chinese lanterns or similar man-made floating objects, not all cases could be explained so easily.

NASA Claim “Dozens” Of Advanced Civilisations Existed Before Us
NASA Claim “Dozens” Of Advanced Civilisations Existed Before Us
A new NASA study reveals that dozens of ancient advanced civilisations much like ours once existed on Earth, but they all came to an abrupt end.
The study suggests that humanity as we know it could come to an end in the next few decades based on the patterns observed with these previous civilisations.
If we look back in history, 3000 – 5000 years, we will find a historical record that clearly shows us how advanced and complex civilizations were just as susceptible to collapse as we are today. This ongoing pattern has led researchers to question the future existence of society and civilization as we know.
If we were to look back further back in time, over 10,000 years, we would encounter evidence of advanced civilizations that possibly predate the Pre-Inca, Olmec, and Ancient Egyptian civilization, not to mention other advanced ancient civilizations in ancient Mesopotamia.
It is difficult to overlook the repeating patterns identified by scholars in most of these civilizations and the NASA funded study is clear evidence of the path ancient civilizations on EArth have taken for thousands of years. This is considered by many people as a sign that clearly states that ancient civilizations have reset a number of times.
These factors have kept on repeating themselves and have been the culprit for ancient civilizations before us. In the report, applied mathematician Safa Motesharri and his “Human and Nature Dynamical” model claims that “the process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.”
“The fall of the Roman Empire, and the equally (if not more) advanced Han, Mauryan, and Gupta Empires, as well as so many advanced Mesopotamian Empires, are all testimony to the fact that advanced, sophisticated, complex, and creative civilizations can be both fragile and impermanent.”
The study came to the conclusion that there are two key social features that contributed to the collapse of every single advanced civilization from the past: “the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity”; and “the economic stratification of society into Elites [rich] and Masses (or “Commoners”) [poor]” These social phenomena have played “a central role in the character or in the process of the collapse,” in all such cases over “the last five thousand years.”
Even though our civilizations is at a very advanced technological stage, this does not necessarily mean that we are saved from imminent chaos. In the study we find that “Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, the increases in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use.”
One of the best examples of advanced ancient civilizations disappearing can be found in Mesoamerica.
If we take a look at the ancient Maya who were an extremely advanced ancient civilization we find that several factors played a crucial role for this once great empire to crumble eventually. While most researchers would agree that Deforestation, Famine and Drought where some of the key components in the failure of the ancient Maya, we find a similar pattern in other civilizations, not only I the Americas, but around the globe.
Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions “closely reflecting the reality of the world today… we find that collapse is difficult to avoid.” In the first of these scenarios, civilization:
“…. appears to be on a sustainable path for quite a long time, but even using an optimal depletion rate and starting with a very small number of Elites, the Elites eventually consume too much, resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society. It is important to note that this Type-L collapse is due to an inequality-induced famine that causes a loss of workers, rather than a collapse of Nature.”

WETENSCHAPWetenschappers zijn er voor het eerst in geslaagd rechtstreeks belangrijke organische verbindingen te detecteren in een komeet. De ontdekking versterkt het idee dat het leven op aarde lang geleden ontstond nadat een komeetinslag de nodige chemische bouwstenen naar hier bracht.
'Aminozuren zijn overal, en op vele plaatsen in het heelal kan dus mogelijk leven ontstaan'
Kathrin Altwegg, onderzoeker
De ontdekking gebeurde met behulp van het ESA-ruimtetuig Rosetta, dat nog tot september de atmosfeer van de komeet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko onderzoekt. De apparatuur aan boord van Rosetta deed meerdere vaststellingen van het aminozuur glycine in de wolk van gas en stof die de komeet omhult. Dat aminozuur wordt door levende organismen gebruikt om eiwitten aan te maken.
In het verleden werd glycine al indirect gedetecteerd. In 2006 keerden stalen terug naar de aarde van een andere komeet, Wild 2. Maar besmettingsproblemen nadat de stalen in de woestijn in Utah geland waren, bemoeilijkten de wetenschappelijke analyse.
"Nu we glycine hebben gevonden op meer dan één komeet, weten we zeker dat dit geen uitzondering is", zegt Kathrin Altwegg van de universiteit van Bern die het onderzoek, gepubliceerd in Science Advances, leidde.
De ontdekking impliceert dat glycine veel voorkomt op plekken in het heelal waar sterren en planeten zich hebben gevormd, zegt Altwegg. "Aminozuren zijn overal, en op vele plaatsen in het heelal kan dus mogelijk leven ontstaan."
Naast glycine vonden de onderzoekers rond 67P ook fosfor, een sleutelelement in alle levende organismen, en andere organische moleculen. Het was de eerste keer dat fosfor gevonden werd in een komeet.
"Meer nodig dan aminozuren"
Wetenschappers buigen zich al lang over de vraag hoe het leven op aarde miljarden jaren geleden ontstaan is. Een van de meest populaire hypothesen is dat kometen en planetoïden met hun organische moleculen in de oceanen van de aarde gestort zijn.
De nieuwe studie voedt die hypothese. Toch is er nog meer onderzoek nodig, zeggen de wetenschappers. "Je hebt meer nodig dan aminozuren om een levende cel te vormen", aldus Altwegg. "Het is de veelheid aan moleculen die de ingrediënten voor leven uitmaken."
Rosetta beëindigt haar twee jaar durende missie op 67P in september, wanneer ze rakelings langs de komeet vliegt om daarna neer te storten op zijn oppervlak.
Ook op onze buurplaneet Mars is er een klimaatswijziging geweest. Op de noordelijke pool van het hemellichaam zijn aanwijzingen gevonden van een ijstijd die tot zowat 370.000 jaar heeft geduurd, zo staat in het jongste nummer van het wetenschappelijke vakblad Science.
Op de noordelijke pool van Mars zou er zich in het verleden ongeveer 87.000 kubieke kilometer ijs hebben gevormd, voldoende om de hele planeet met een zestig cm dikke ijskorst te bedekken, berichtte een onderzoeksteam rond Isaac Smith van het Southwest Research Institute in Boulder in de Amerikaanse staat Colorado.
De vondst, dankzij data van de Amerikaanse sonde Mars Reconaissance Orbiter, is ook van belang voor een mogelijke bemande missie naar Mars en de inplanting van een habitat. Water zal immers een beslissende factor zijn, zeggen de wetenschappers.

UFO LANDT IN BOLIVIA EN ALIEN STAPT UIT ( VIDEO )
UFO LANDT IN BOLIVIA EN ALIEN STAPT UIT ( VIDEO )
Het gebeurt niet vaak dat er talloze getuigen zijn die een vreemd licht in de lucht waarnemen, wat niet alleen een vliegende UFO blijkt te zijn, maar ook één die landt.
Na de landing zien drie jongens hoe er een vreemd uitziende alien uit de UFO stapt.
Er is een zeer vreemd, maar wel interessant verhaal opgedoken uit Zuid Amerika.
In een stad in Bolivia zeggen de bewoners dat ze een alien uit een UFO hebben zien stappen en dat die daarna bij hen door de buurt liep.
Drie studenten zeggen dat ze een vreemd mysterieus object zagen rondcirkelen boven de stad Santa Cruz iets meer dan een week geleden en dat deze vervolgens rond tien uur ’s avonds landde.
De getuigen zeggen dat ze vervolgens een alien uit het toestel hebben zien stappen en dat deze weer snel probeerde terug te gaan toen hij in de gaten kreeg dat hij was ontdekt.
Het begon allemaal toen de drie studenten die onderweg waren naar huis opeens een vreemd licht aan de hemel zagen. Vervolgens kwam dit licht min of meer recht naar beneden en verdween achter een boom.
Volgens een andere vrouw hoorden ze een luid geluid en viel alle elektriciteit in de omgeving uit. Volgens deze vrouw “viel” het vreemde object plotseling uit de lucht.
Het schijnt dat dit buitenaardse wezen niet al te groot was en er ook niet bepaald aantrekkelijk uit zag. Het scheen hele lange vingers te hebben en probeerde zelfs in een boom te klimmen.
Wat niet helemaal duidelijk is, is hoe dit verhaal verder af liep. Misschien wordt dat duidelijk uit de onderstaande televisiereportage die wij helaas niet goed kunnen verstaan omdat het in het Spaans is.
Wat wel duidelijk is uit dit alles is dat er in dat stadje in Bolivia werkelijk iets is gebeurd die avond.
En dat die alien in de problemen moet hebben gezeten om op deze manier met zijn UFO te landen midden in een bewoonde stad.

Globular UFO Over Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Caught On Live Cam, May 23, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 23, 2016 Time: 21:22 or 9:22pm Location of sighting: Mexico Source Live Cam:http://www.webcamsdemexico.com This video is from a live cam which takes still shots every few seconds. I believe the area and cam used is the Puerto Vallarta Sur area. I have uses a lot of these cams before in search for UFOs and I am amazed at this globular UFO thats has glowing orbs around it surface. I believe it was seen only because it was nighttime and it passed by a camera that switches on some infrared LEDs (flashlight beams out) and was caught as it flew past the camera.This is new...I've never seen this type of UFO before, wow, just wow! This is a great video by SecureTeam10 with some interesting insight into the UFO. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Mexican Musician Records "UFO fleet" On April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 18, 2016 Location of sighting: Tijuana, Mexico News source:http://inexplicata.blogspot.tw This group of UFOs probably felt they wanted to send the people on the ground a message...to show that they were friendly. The UFOs actually formed a happy face for about 5-8 seconds, then broke formation. What is more universal than a smile? That is communication. Awesome catch, with a more awesome message. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Inexplicata News states: What this video uploaded to YouTube clearly depicts are unidentified flying objects. Therefore, the term "UFO fleet" fits perfectly. It was recorded in the skies over Tijuana, Mexico - an area that has drawn the attention of many experts of the UFO phenomenon, since in recent years, sighting reports have become incessant. The recording was made on the night of April 18, 2016 in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, by corrido music artist Charly STPX, who after rehearsing with his band near the pier, became aware of some lights hanging in the air only meters over the sea. These images were shared on YouTube and over a dozen luminous objects can be seen, immediately leading them to believe it was a UFO fleet. The musician states this is the first time he's seen anything like it, as he has no knowledge of the UFO phenomenon. What caught the attention of hundreds of YouTube users (and of other social media outlets) is that the lights maintain a formation that resembles a "smiley face", causing many to say it was the "happiest UFO fleet in the galaxy." As can be heard on the video, Charly STPX hastens to explain that these are not "globos de Cantoya" (hot air balloons) which are popular in that region of Mexico. The YouTube video, which runs nearly 5 minutes, shows how the light formation descends and becomes lost in the horizon, which was still visible to eyewitnesses. Unfortunately, the cellphone camera was unable to capture some details described in teh video. The musicians knocked back a few beers to celebrate this close encounter of the first time.

British UFO Encounter: Aliens Interested in Nuclear Weapons
British UFO Encounter: Aliens Interested in Nuclear Weapons
Gary Heseltine is a recently retired police detective having served almost 24 years with the British Transport police in England. He came forward with astounding information which sheds new light on the most famous case in the Britain. The 56-year old claims that the extraterrestrials were interested in the nuclear weapons, which is why they visited the RAF Bentwaters. Throughout the incident, Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston says he was able to touch the small triangular vessel. He described the vessel as smooth to touch, but has strangled symbols that bear resemblance to The incident, which dubbed the Roswell, has made the front page of the currently defunct News and has sparked various documentaries. Gary worked for almost 24 years in the British Transport Police. He claims that Colonel Charles Halt, the deputy base commander, revealed the existence of the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in Suffolk airbase. In December 1980, aliens reportedly buzzed the Rendlesham Forest and USAF base for over three nights. Two nights later, the mysterious object returned, and Col Halt led a group of experts. Based on his recordings, he called the object as a red winking eye.
A few years later, he filed a detailed memo about the encounter to the British Ministry of Defence. The memo was under the auspices of the Freedom of Information Act. Among the controversial stories, the most controversial are the reports about the extraterrestrial creatures firing beams in the weapons storage area. This retired officer claims that Col Halt told him that the high-ranking official of the USAF has made the shocking revelation as they toured the base. Unfortunately, when Colt Halt was asked, he denied the Gary’s claim stating that he never revealed anything to Gary. The US and UK governments created a policy of neither denying nor confirming that tool of the mass destruction was at the base.
Despite his denial, explanations were made to support Gary’s statement. First is the incident that took place in December 1980 wherein the base was on high alert because Soviet troops were on the border of Poland. This rationale is the motive as to why extraterrestrial beings turned to the base. The most recent information was from the two retired operators claiming that an unidentified object traveled 8 seconds at 120 miles.
Students and Residents Claim Seeing An Alien Climb A Tree Before Fleeing
Students and Residents Claim Seeing An Alien Climb A Tree Before Fleeing
A mysterious humanoid was observed coming out from a UFO, climbed a tree, and then jumped back on board the strange object. Three students claimed to have seen the entire bizarre activity in Santa Cruz – a city in Argentina.
According to the report, they saw the UFO circling the area before making a landing. The witnesses had claimed that the humanoid seemed to notice them before it decided to get back quickly on board.
The students were on their way home from school when the event took place.
One female witness said that it started with a bright light in the sky when the impossible happened. The UFO came down and eventually landed.
Another woman said she heard a deafening sound and saw the UFO went down and disappeared.
Residents also claimed to have seen the UFO, which crashed on Calle 2 of the district. They said a weird being climbed a tree.
Another shocked woman described the being as small and gooey, which extended its arms and climbed a tree. The woman added that it had long fingers.
The very unusual activity reportedly happened at 10 pm on Friday in the El Dorado District of the El Bastion Santa Cruz, Argentina.
Some suspected that the students just started a hoax, but one resident even provided a drawing of the so-called alien being.
When you have seen a black mysterious flying orb, what will you do? For a typical person, his or her instinct is to run for cover. However, others would love to grab their cameras. UFO’s could be anything from aliens and extraterrestrials to a man-made vessel. With the reported sightings almost every day, even the skeptics scratch their heads regarding its origin. However, is this new sighting an exception?
This is the moment when a strange ‘black ring’ extraterrestrial resembling sliced squid hovering in the sky over Argentina was recorded on camera. When footage of the mysterious flying orb emerged on YouTube, it went viral with the speculations over the origin of the phenomenon. It was concluded among conspiracy theorists that the object could be the outline of the alien’s warplane. Despite having a clear photo, still, many people were left baffled. In the image, the object was seen pulsating over the Argentinian town of Tigre, about 28 km north of Buenos Aires. It is not a hidden fact that few viewers negated most mysterious sightings due to the different beliefs. While some claimed it to be an alien warplane flying at “supersonic speed,” there are others that believe that it could have been some form of “chemtrails” of high-flying planes. These high-flying planes are man-made, and hence, the sighting turns out to be identified flying object.
One of the viewers named María Laura Gal believes that the black ring was merely a plume of smoke out of a cannon. The said Cannon was launched at a place near an amusement park in Parque de la Costa. In a post, she wrote that the black squid object appeared in a place that is believed to be an attractive location that launches a cannon. She does not consider that it is something unusual or uncommon. The existence of aliens is still the subject of debates. Whether it is flying warplane or a simple outline, it cannot be denied that there are thousands of unexplained sightings over the years.

Filer’s Files #22 – 2016 Nasa and the Moon - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Ingo Swann’s Remote View of the Dark Side of the Earth’s Moon, UFOs in Space, NASA and the Moon, and Letter from Reader.Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Italy, Malaysia, Peru, and Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
What a wonderful world, it the best in this part of the Galaxy

INGO SWANN’S REMOTE VIEW OF THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
Pilot Bob Durant and Ingo with his Millennium painting
Author Ingo Swann told us of his involvement with a secret government agency while he was staying overnight at my house with a dozen other UFO researchers. Ingo Swann is one of the more important historical figures in the U.S. government-funded efforts to investigate the phenomenon known as “remote viewing.” His participation in highly classified research is now public knowledge and not disputed. Unfortunately Ingo has passed on he was born September 14, 1933 and died January 31, 2013, but he has left several enjoyable books.
Ingo Swann worked with The Stanford Research Institute, SRI, and many government agencies for years. Swann’s journey into the world of the bizarre began when he volunteered in 1971 to be a human guinea pig for an ESP research project at the Stanford Research Institute. He expected to be “used and tossed aside” after just a few weeks of being tested for telepathic ability. But apparently Swann displayed some genuine PSI moxy, and so was launched into a life-long journey that drew him into the frightening, clandestine world of CIA operatives, UFO research, conspiracy theories, and more.
Swann was the first psychic employed in the CIA’s remote viewing program that began in 1975: that was called Project Star Gate. Swann’s success rate was so impressive that by 1975, he was recruited by a covert government operative, “Mr. Axelrod” to spy on extraterrestrials as well as the Soviets.
Moon base visualized by Ingo Swan
Swann’s remote viewing was confirmed by Kit Green who sent Swan a book by George Leonard describing similar structures he viewed on the moon using photographic analysis of NASA images. The success of Swann and Project Star Gate in delivering accurate remote viewing data to intelligence agencies quickly led to military agencies asking Swann to develop the necessary protocol for training military remote viewers. He then became the instructor for a team of Remote Viewers. Swann’s involvement with the covert activities of “Mr. Axelrod” provides valuable evidence on extraterrestrials living among us. He even taught us some of the basic concepts.
In one incident, Swan told us he was taken by Axelrod to a remote location, thought to be Alaska, where they traveled to an Alaskan lake to view UFO activity. The goal was for Swann to psychically gain information on what the extraterrestrials were doing at what appeared to be a secret UFO base. Swann described in detail an incident involving a UFO coming in from space, expanding in size from a tiny basketball sized object into a large triangular vehicle. It then drew water from the lake and flew off into space. He was asked what they were doing? He shrugged and they quickly left.
Penetration is Mr. Swann’s most riveting book. I gave him information I had collected about flashes, clouds, and other anomalies on the moon. The book banishes the idea that a remote viewer’s life need be dull. This is a story of how badly the government needed to know some information, and to what extent it was willing to go to get it. Ingo revealed some of his most intimate history of his involvement with the government insiders who control much of the countries deepest secrets. Many Presidents and few in Congress and few generals or admirals are let into the deepest secrets of the government.
Using remote viewing of various targets Ingo Swann explored extraterrestrial life. He has interacted with some of the most deeply buried U.S. government intelligence personnel to help them understand the “ET enigma.” Intelligence personnel know we are being visited by extraterrestrial life but wish to know if they are a threat to Earth. This is a nonfiction drama involving elite elements within the U.S. intelligence community wanting to know more about extraterrestrials that they know are operating on and near Earth. From Swann’s perspective, UFOs and extraterrestrials exist, and a select few in the U.S. government knows about them. He was given permission to tell the reader his findings. The government only wants deniability.
“Penetration”: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy” by Ingo Swann. He worked with The Stanford Research Institute, SRI, and many government agencies for years. Swann told us he was contacted by a “highly important man in Washington D.C.” who told him to expect a phone call from a mysterious individual. Swann was to “do whatever he asked, and to ask no questions.” Four weeks later the call came at three in the morning, jolting Swann out of his sleep: Swann was ordered to go to the Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. He was met there by two contacts that whisked him away in a car, put a hood over his head, and flew him by helicopter to an unknown location. He was taken underground in an elevator. In a small room in this underground base, Swann was asked to use his remote viewing skills to probe certain coordinates on the moon. Swann is surprised when his remote viewing reveals a robust alien operation of some sort on the moon, complete with large building structures and humanoid aliens who appear to be engaged in a mining operation. He was able to watch for awhile but the aliens determined he was viewing them and ordered him to stop.
In his book, Penetration, he stated the extraterrestrials were able to breathe unaided, thereby suggesting an atmosphere on the moon. What’s odd is that the spies seem to already know about the alien moon base. The spooks paid Swann $1,000 a day, and after a couple days, sent him home with dire warning to say absolutely nothing of the whole adventure for 10 years.
Ingo felt it was very clear that our government is very much intimidated by these ETs. We know that NASA has not been welcome on the Moon for a long time now. He said, to the government agents “they somehow have told you to stay away and somehow shown you they mean it, these ETs are NOT friendly are they?” Swann also described his encounter with an alien in a Los Angeles supermarket and confirms that ET civilization has been infiltrating the Earth in humanoid bodies. Swann’s friends warn him: “There are a lot of them you know, and many of them are bio-androids and they realize that Earth psychics are their only enemies.”
I had a similar meeting of a likely alien in Nordstrom’s Department Store. I thought to myself this attractive blonde woman is an alien. She looked over at me, apparently picking up my thoughts and ran out of the store. We encouraged Ingo Swann to write this book because it reveals the existence of extraterrestrials and their activities on Earth and the Moon. Ingo Swann understands the perils and pain of being someone who has had “experiences”. Many of you, like me, fall into this category. He also talks about the fact that DENIAL of the ETs is a “patent fact. The question is WHY”
The UFO phenomenon is the most complex event in history and it’s great that a few in the government are watching. There is also kind of amnesia about ET and the government even backs movies to show us they could exist.
“Ingo calls us Earthsiders, who seem to be caught up in some kind of strange but broadly shared amnesia induced, perhaps, in some kind of wholesale way by means totally unrecognizable by human intellects.” We Earthsiders assume that we construct our reality, but Swann suggests: “Who it is that contracts the realities is NOT at all clear. Most biomindsuperpowers.com people are culturally discouraged from making their own reality” You can pay over $200 for the paperback book Penetration or download it free at http://ebookee.org/Penetration-By-Ingo-Swann_747188.html
UFOs in Space
A riveting news article was published in 1980 in the “Sputnik” magazine about the perceptions and experiences of UFOs. This article contains reports from ten Soviet and American astronauts. Only one of these astronauts refused the possibility of UFOs getting in and out of our galaxy.
Russian cosmonaut Yevgeni Vassilyevich Khrunov declared that it’s actually impossible to deny the presence of UFOs, and we should admit that these are more than simple optical illusions, even some of their characteristics like the rapid change of flight course at a 90 degrees angle offers us a lot of food for thought.
Astronaut Ghenadi Strekalov mentioned that he witnessed numerous strange and inexplicable phenomena, but hesitates to classify these events in any way. Still, he described a phenomenon observed on September 28 1980, during his day shift on the Mir space station: a flying sphere above the Earth, at an altitude of 20-30 km, around Newfoundland. The atmosphere was clear and the visibility was perfect, so he could watch for about 10 seconds how the sphere was shifting beautiful vivid colors, and afterwards disappearing almost instantly.
NASA and the Moon
Rumors persist NASA may well be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded by the defense budget and most of the astronauts are subject to military security regulations. Apart from the fact that the National Security Agency screens all films and probably radio communications as well. The astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their sightings.
Moon Tower
Here is an extract from the official press-release: “NASA scientists and engineers participating in exploration of Mars and Moon reported results of their discoveries at a briefing at the Washington national press club on March 21, 1996. It was announced for the first time that man-caused structures and objects had been discovered on the Moon.”
Specialist for lunar artifacts Richard Hoagland says that NASA is still trying to veil photo materials before they are published in public catalogues and files, they do retouching or partially refocus them while copying. Some investigators suppose that an extraterrestrial race had used the Moon as a terminal station during their activity on the Earth. Ruins of lunar cities stretched along many kilometers, huge transparent domes on massive basements, numerous tunnels and other constructions make scientists reconsider their opinions concerning the lunar problems. How the Moon appeared and principles of its revolving around the Earth still pose a great problem for scientists. Some partially destroyed objects on the lunar surface can’t be placed among natural geological formations, as they are of complex organization and geometrical structure. In the upper part of Rima Hadley, not far from the place where the Apollo-15 had landed, a construction surrounded with a tall D-shaped wall was discovered. As of now, different artifacts have been discovered in 44 regions.
Mysterious terrace-shaped excavations of the rock have been discovered near the Tiho crater. The concentric hexahedral excavations and the tunnel entry at the terrace side can’t be results of natural geological processes; instead, they look very much like open cast mines.
A transparent dome raised above the crater edge was discovered near the crater Copernicus. The dome is unusual as it is glowing white and blue from inside. A rather unusual object, which is unusual indeed even for the Moon, was discovered in the upper part of the Factory area. A disk of about 50 meters in diameter stands on a square basement surrounded with rhombi walls. There is a regular rectangular area between Factory and the crater Copernicus which is 300 meters wide 400 meters long.
Apollo 10 astronauts made a unique picture (AS10-32-4822) of a one-mile long object called Castle, which is hanging at the height of 14 kilometers and casts a distinct shadow on the lunar surface. The object seems to be consisting of several cylindrical units and a large conjunctive unit. Internal porous structure of the Castle is clearly seen in one of the pictures, which makes an impression that some parts of the object are transparent.
NASA finally understood what consequences such kind of control could bring. Astronaut Mitchell answered the question about his feelings after a successful return the following: “My neck still aches as I had to constantly turn my head around because we felt we were not alone there. We had no choice but pray.”NASA leadership was awfully annoyed with the great number of anomalous objects on the Moon. Investigators are especially interested in ancient structures resembling partially destroyed cities. The orbital shooting reveals an astonishingly regular geometry of square and rectangular constructions. They resemble our terrestrial cities seen from the height of 5-8 kilometers. A mission control specialist commented on the pictures: “Our guys observed ruins of the Lunar cities, transparent pyramids, domes and God knows what else, which are currently hidden deep inside the NASA safes, What do geologists and scientists say after studying the pictures of lunar cities and other anomalous objects? They say, such objects can’t be natural formations. “We should admit they are artificial, especially the domes and pyramids.” Reasonable activity of an alien civilization showed up unexpectedly close to us. We were not ready for it psychologically, and some people hardly believe they are true even now. source=http://english.pravda
Letter from Reader
In 1988, my uncle told me that he had personally been aware of and involved with the management of the debris that had been brought from Roswell to Wright Field in 1947. My uncle Edward Strieber was indeed, a very honorable man. He spent his career in the Air Force, mostly working in areas that were extremely classified. He was in a position to know what he was talking about, and, as I say, he was an honorable man.
Not only that, he introduced me to his commanding officer and old friend, General Arthur Exxon, who could not have been more frank about alien craft at his base. He stated, and this is a direct quote: “Everyone from the White House on down knew that what we had found was not of this world within 24 hours of our findingit.”

Filer’s Files #22 – 2016 Nasa and the Moon - PART II
Sightings in the United States
California Objects
Southlake Tahoe – I was just taking a picture outside my hotel room on May 18, 2016, noticed something over the tree top line. I was looking at the photo and was going to send it to a friend. When I blew the picture up I noticed the boomerang shaped object with the bright light just above the tree tops. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Davenport — We were at a farm picking berries on May 22, 2016, and took some photos. I was looking at pictures the following day and noticed one picture with some kind of object in the upper left hand corner. Can’t tell what it is, but it looks unusual.
I did not notice it while I was taking pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orbs
Miami – I was standing on a lifeguard stand looking at the ocean when all of a sudden multiple orbs appeared in a path that followed each other on May 21, 2016. Then the ufo came out of nowhere and glowed/hovered for 15 seconds and then dissapeared.
I instantly thought it was a ufo since it looked nothing like a plane, blimp, or helicopter. It appeared as fast as it disappeared, but hovered for about 15 seconds. I thought it was amazing the way it stayed in the air with its glide like slow motion then shot away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Cylinder
Johns Creek –I ‘m Alex Stamford and I’m 17, I have taken astrophotography and I have been doing it for a few months now. The picture is one I took during sunset on my Canon t5i camera on May 18, 2016. When I took it I didn’t see anything, no clouds in the sky and no planes. I saw something dark when I looked back on the photo a day later. I saw an object high on the left side and it zoomed up on it and it didn’t seem like a cloud or a plane because they pass over head all the time. It was not a plane because if it was going off the flight path, silent and gave me chills. Whatever it is it seemed to just sit there in the picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kansas Tornado Object
Dodge city — Video of tornado near dodge city on May 24, 2016 shows an object in upper left fly in front of the tornado posted on the weatherbug.
I got 3 stills at 2:05 PM of the videos run time not real good from my iPad. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Lights
The first time I saw them they appeared at dusk in a line pattern to the north. They flicked on as if by a light switch, held for a few seconds then faded out with no change in pattern or movement. No other light sources are in the area.
Twenty minutes later of driving I turned east on a dirt road that I am very familiar with and over a clearing to my north saw three bright lights much closer. They were brighter and lower in the sky than before. I passed in front of some trees and lost sight of them, only to emerge on the other side with nothing there. I drive these roads very frequently and these lights were unexplained, even as reflections. Attached is a photo shopped image exactly recreating the light intensity and patterns of the two sightings? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Rapid River –I was just north of Rapid River on Birch Farm picking mushrooms on May 21, 2016, and I wondered into an open field that served as an ultra light runway years before. I looked up over the tree line toward the morning sun and saw a large spherical object just chilling a few tree stands over.
It warbled a little while hovering for maybe 30 seconds while I stared at it, and accelerated smoothly moving back toward Rapid River in a few seconds. Thinking back to this morning I have to believe there was a glint off the thing near the sun that must have been enough to attract my attention. I thought the object was a hovering balloon or helicopter at first. There was no trail or noise. My feelings about what I saw are simple, just trying to differentiate between an airplane, and superman. Afterwards I thought about traveling that fast. It got too be too small as it flew away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Light
Red Wing — After picking up my fiancé from work, around 11:40 pm, on May 16th, 2016, we witnessed two large lights or objects off into the distance. We joked about the lights driving up our driveway being aliens. Upon getting out of the car, we got a better view as to how big these lights or objects actually were. We started to think we were seeing a basic UFO? There were two lights. The brighter one was higher up. The colors were mostly white, with a yellowish-orange. The lights/objects, moved fast! Zigzagged and their lights almost seemed to pulse if that makes sense? They moved in a path together and they also hovered almost together (despite the distance between them). They moved in a path and they would completely disappear into thin air! Also, in my video, you can see a cluster of dim lights down in the left corner that is a farmhouse a mile away. These lights/objects came and went over about an hour’s time. I felt weird about what I saw? I’m a former cop, but I know what I saw. I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff in my day; this takes the cake so-to-speak. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mississippi Object
Biloxi Beach — I was staying at a hotel on the beach on May 23, 2016. My son and I were on the back balcony area of this hotel looking at the Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful sunset around 7:30 p.m. We both noticed a large circular white UFO in the sky above us. It had no wings and appeared to be at a high altitude above us in the sky.
The UFO seemed to be moving at a very high rate of speed but it had no sound. This UFO glowed a bright white color and at times it appeared to be cigar shaped but mostly circular. It was difficult to tell the exact shape of the UFO since it was at such a high altitude. It was amazing to see this object in person and I was excited to capture video footage of this UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Orb
Garfield — Smoking on the back porch on May12, 2016, the object was going from east to west fast. It stopped behind a tree it did not come out the other end.
Ten minutes later it’s going from east to west fast and just stops for several seconds and going up and down and started until I lost it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey/ New York
New York City — The witness in New Jersey saw an object hovering through a window on April 26, 2016, over the city.
I then went to the balcony and started filming and taking pictures. It was hovering over Freedom Tower World Trade Center on top of the antenna in New York City.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Pine Island— My daughter wanted to take photos of the black dirt fields near Pine Island on May 20, 2016. She took several photos and nothing was visible at the time the photos were taken .When we arrived home she was reviewing the photos and the object was in the picture. The two photos were taken within the same minute on her phone, seconds apart and she could not see it when she took the picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Orb
Weaverville –My grandmother, stepmother and I observed this UFO over the mountains on Reems Creek on May 20, 2016.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
RhodeIsland Triangular Object
Providence — On May 19, 2016, the witness was driving home on a cloudy night. Rain had been falling 20 minutes earlier.
He at once saw a large black triangular object with a white blinking light in the middle and solid white lights on the corners.
The object was huge and he thought it to be as big as an aircraft carrier. The object emitted no sound. He said that the object could be a black ops craft and took a brief video with his I-phone 6.
The object did not show up real well. A blinking light showed up in a few frames. The video was taken through his vehicle window. A still image extracted from the video is shown above.
The witness saw the object for about one minute until it vanished over the horizon over the Atlantic Ocean.
Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com;
Pennsylvania Object
Appalachian Mountains–Sitting on our porch with my brother and step dad a flying object appears out of nowhere.
It moved so fast and in a matter of seconds it traveled across town.
I have video and stills. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Dallas – I was setting on my back porch watching planes in a busy air corridor towards DFW airport on May 20, 2016.
I watched the object descend and stop. I grabbed my phone and began filming. I filmed the craft slowly descend into the distance behind the subdivision.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
San Antonio— Before dawn on May 19, 2016, I had discovered an ufo but did have a recording device. I looked up and one of the stars caught my attention. It was if it wanted to be seen as was red, orange. It was losing altitude and leaving a heat wave behind it. It was going down slowly and stopped for a few seconds. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up because I knew it wasn’t a normal star. It was still and then flashed and took off at tremendous speed and left a trail of fire and smoke like it was leaving the earth. I got scared and started to lock the doors and went to my room and prayed. I finally bought a phone and downloaded an app and this is what I captured. There was one big ufo and three others. It made me look at the world different as we are really not alone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
West Virginia Ball
Clendenin— My 31 year old son and I went out on our deck on May 24, 2016, and immediately noticed an amber ball of light streaking in from the west. It then stopped abruptly and hovered. I quickly took a picture. It then started slowly moving east (over a 2 hour period) after it cleared the western trees we could start to see the shear mass of it.
There were 3 white lights way below it that were moving with it. As the moon brightened we could see the shape of a triangle that connected all of the lights. It was like a mountain moving through the sky it was so big. We watched it for 2 hours or so until it left the clearing. I will chalk this up as one of the most unexplainable things I have ever seen in my life. The videos do not do it justice, it does not pick up the bottom 3 lights that connect it all and the 3rd light was not visible to us until later. It was amazing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Light
Melbourne — I saw a red ball of light in the sky and it fell from the sky in a very slow and weird way on May 15, 2016, at 10:23 PM.
I thought it was a shooting star, but it had no tail and it didn’t disappear as it got lower to the surface.
After experiencing this I went on Google and the only similar photo I could relate to was yours so I thought I would email you and show you my photos.
Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Brazil Disc
Campinas — On the night of April 7, 2016, at about 10 PM, I noticed a strong and steady red light from the south and heading north.
It was a completely different from lights on aircraft. At one point the light stopped on its way and gave a light white that descended vertically and stopped.
It shifted horizontally and disappeared, and then the red light continued its path to the north. The photos were taken with my Nikon D5200 camera with lens 55/300. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Disc
Canberra — Took pictures of sunset on May 18, 2016. When I returned home I noticed the object in the picture.
One picture contained the object but other pictures of same sunset after taking the first picture did not contain the object.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Egypt Objects
Hurgada — I was on my terrace in my beach house in El Gouna resort, with a friend. I noticed them coming from a distance behind my friend’s back. I pointed them to my friend and we both were surprised by the strange shape and colors of the objects that are unlike anything that fly’s. They were silent, with no visible propeller, engine nor wings, moving at a steady speed similar to a regular plane. My friend ran for the phone camera and grabbed only a few pictures. When they were over head I noticed the front 1/3 bright blue almost like a swimming pool transparent container and slightly wider than the 2/3 dark anthracite metal body.
Two were flying in the front followed by a third. They were coming from the north heading south when they passed at a distance; the dark grey turned into silver metallic which I assumed was the reflection of the afternoon sun on them. I first thought they might be strange military objects carrying big pools since UFO’s don’t come straight to one’s mind. Their silence as they flew overhead was very strange. They eventually continued flying south till they disappeared from our vision. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Triangle
Rimini – I was on the balcony of my hotel on August 18, 2015. It was very hot in this night and I was very surprised by an unknown object. It was very large (100 meters) black triangle, absolute silent, that was moving slowly over the Adria beach in direction north to south. It had three lights at the corners; the brightness of the lights was like Venus, height flying at 500 meters. I had the impression, that the object is looking for something or observed something with a robotic stubborn movement. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Malaysia Orb
KENINGAU SABAH – On 20 May 2016 I was meditating around 8.30 pm in my room like my everyday routine. I do some random telepathy to contact any non earth being in my area.
On 21 May 2016, almost 9.00 pm, i tried meditating but failed. I wake up at 1 am in the morning make a bottle of milk for my 2 year old son. I had a weak vision in my head to go “the place” not far away from my home at the highest point in my town (almost 650 meter form sea level!
On 22 May 2016, I go the top of the hill coffee shop and wait almost 3 hours but nothing happened, I decided to use telepathy (LOL) to ask WHO was giving me vision to go here. Suddenly face of the GRAY alien come in my head. I start taking pictures of the sky before leaving. That night I saw a Silver ORB in one of the pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Peru Sightings
San Gabriel de Varadero — Last May 17, 2016, a group of residents in the Peruvian jungle, said they had seen a triangular object that fell into a farm of banana crops,
The craft left footprints and emitted loud sounds. The residents of San Gabriel objects landing left footprints and emitted loud sounds. People were allegedly screaming and in panic. As reported by the news portal RPP, there are numerous testimonies: “I saw them, with similar sounds to the blender and illuminating lights.”
Gabriel de Varadero has decided to organize to protect themselves from the presence of alleged UFOs in the area. A group of residents of this town located three hours from the city of Yurimaguas saw several triangular craft.
To preserve my physical integrity and my family have had to make shots in the air and immediately the objects disappeared “, reported Professor German Canchari. In the scene they detected the presence of strange triangular marks on the ground formed by three holes and neighbors tried to preserve until investigators arrived to make relevant studies. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Humachuco — Several residents of the province of Sanchez Carrión in Huamachuco, Department of La Libertad, in Peru, are surprised by the UFO sighting that occurred recently. According to witnesses, the UFO was sighted during the month of May (2016) and it appears concurrently on and near the hill in Tucupina. From the early hours witnesses report that the strange object does not appear to move. It hovers for many hours of the day, so you can rule out a plane or drone. Residents of Marcabalito sector say they managed to capture images of the UFO which has many red lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK Scotland Light
Inverness – I turned off tv and saw a beautiful crack in a clouded sky on May23, 2016. I looked out of my window and it was like day light shining on the waters of the Moray Firth. We have a RAF base here and I frequently see helicopters and jets but NOT at this hour and you HEAR them. I was in my upstairs living room in twilight and looked at the sky as it was surreal n beautiful. The light just switched on so I grabbed my mobile and took two pictures. The light did not pulsate it was static. There were vessels in the area and the photo is what I took and it was not tampered with. For ten minutes it shone out like a light and suddenly disappeared and never reappeared. It was bizarre!! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mogelijk minder leefbare exoplaneten bij rode dwergen door oververhitte atmosferen
Mogelijk minder leefbare exoplaneten bij rode dwergen door oververhitte atmosferen
Tim Kraaijvanger
75% van alle sterren in ons Melkweg zijn rode dwergsterren. Het is interessant om juist rondom deze sterren op zoek te gaan naar bewoonbare exoplaneten, zeker omdat rode dwergen langer meegaan dan gele dwergen als de zon. Toch denken astronomen dat er zich mogelijk minder leefbare exoplaneten bij rode dwergen bevinden dan we nu denken.
Rode dwergsterren zijn kleiner en lichtzwakker dan gele dwergen, maar gaan veel efficiënter om met hun brandstof. Hoewel de zon ongeveer tien miljard jaar meegaat (waarvan de helft momenteel verstreken is), blijven rode dwergen mogelijk tien biljoen jaar in leven. Overigens is dit niet met zekerheid vast te stellen, aangezien het heelal slechts 13,7 miljard jaar oud is en er dus nog geen rode dwergsterren zijn uitgedoofd. Dit biedt aardige mogelijkheden voor intelligente beschavingen. Aliens op een exoplaneet bij een rode dwergster krijgen vele tientallen miljarden jaren de kans om te ontwikkelen (mits er niets geks gebeurt natuurlijk), terwijl wij het met een fractie van die tijd moeten doen. Stel dat we ooit de aarde moeten verlaten, dan zou het buitengewoon interessant zijn om te verhuizen naar een exoplaneet bij een rode dwerg.
Onderzoekers van het Imperial College London en van het Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton schetsen helaas een minder rooskleurig beeld. Uit simulaties blijkt dat er inderdaad leven mogelijk is op exoplaneten bij rode dwergen, maar dan moeten deze planeten minder wegen dan de aarde.
“Voorheen gingen we er standaard van uit dat exoplaneten zoals de aarde leefbaar zouden zijn, als ze zich in de leefbare zone bevinden van een rode dwerg”, vertelt Dr. James Owen. “Maar als we kijken naar hoe deze planeten de eerste miljarden jaren evolueren, blijkt deze aanname niet te kloppen.”
Broeikaseffect De atmosfeer van de aarde is één miljoenste deel van het totale gewicht van de planeet. Een aardachtige exoplaneet rondom een rode dwerg wordt geboren met een dikke atmosfeer met waterstof en helium, waardoor de atmosfeer één honderdste van het totale gewicht is. Dit is een groot verschil. Het gevolg is dat er een broeikaseffect ontstaat, waardoor de oppervlaktetemperatuur te hoog is voor vloeibaar water en waardoor de planeet onbewoonbaar is.
Astronomen dachten altijd dat een exoplaneet bij een rode dwergster in de loop der jaren een groot deel van zijn atmosfeer verliest, door sterke röntgenstraling en ultraviolette straling van de moederster. Na een oververhitte start koelt een exoplaneet sterk af, waardoor uiteindelijk toch leven mogelijk is. Uit nieuwe simulaties blijkt dat dit niet klopt. Een exoplaneet met het gewicht van de aarde is in staat om de dikke atmosfeer vast te houden en laat zich dus niet uit het veld slaan door de straling van de moederster.
Buitenaards leven op kleinere exoplaneten Dit geldt overigens niet voor exoplaneten die minder wegen dan de aarde. Zij verliezen mogelijk wel een groot deel van hun atmosfeer, waardoor deze exoplaneten uiteindelijk leefbaar zijn. De jacht op deze kleine exoplaneten is in ieder geval al begonnen, al kan het nog wel tien tot twintig jaar duren voordat astronomen kunnen aantonen dat er op een kleine exoplaneet leven mogelijk is.
De ontdekking lijkt het idee dat grotere planeten heel veel tijd nodig hebben om te kunnen ontstaan, definitief van tafel te vegen.
De nieuwe planeet heeft de naam CI Tau b gekregen en is zeker acht keer groter dan Jupiter. De planeet cirkelt rondom de ster CI Tau. Deze ster is – naar astronomische begrippen – nog piepjong. Geschat wordt dat de ster zo’n 2 miljoen jaar oud is (ter vergelijking: onze zon gaat al meer dan 4 miljard jaar mee).
Uniek Het is een opmerkelijke ontdekking. Jarenlang ging men er namelijk vanuit dat grote planeten – planeten met een massa vergelijkbaar of groter dan Jupiter – minimaal tien miljoen jaar nodig hadden om te ontstaan. De laatste jaren wordt die theorie met enige regelmaat in twijfel getrokken en deze ontdekking lijkt de theorie de doodsteek te geven. Want nu is een planeet die minstens acht keer groter is dan Jupiter ontdekt rond een ster van die zo piepjong is dat er zelfs nog een stof- en gasschijf rondom te vinden is. “Het is een uniek resultaat,” stelt onderzoeker Lisa Prato. “Omdat het laat zien dat een gigantische planeet zo snel kan ontstaan dat het resterende gas en stof waaruit de jonge ster is voortgekomen en dat deze omringt nog steeds aanwezig is.
Stempel CI Tau en omgeving toont aan dat grote planeten in vrij korte tijd kunnen ontstaan. En omdat CI Tau b in zo’n korte tijd ontstond, wordt deze nog omringd door gas en stof waaruit ook weer andere planeten kunnen ontstaan. Volgens de astronomen moeten we er rekening mee houden dat CI Tau b juist omdat deze zo groot is en zo vroeg in de geschiedenis van het stelsel is ontstaan een enorm stempel op het stelsel drukt. “Grote planeten die net als CI Tau b dicht bij de ster ontstaan, zullen een flinke impact hebben op het gebied waarin kleinere aardachtige planeten tot stand kunnen komen.”
Hoe een grote planeet zoals CI Tau b erin slaagt om in zo’n korte tijd te ontstaan, is nog onduidelijk. Daarvoor is meer onderzoek nodig en bovenal meer van dit soort ontdekkingen.
Primeur: 's werelds eerste robot-baby geboren in Amsterdam!
Primeur: 's werelds eerste robot-baby geboren in Amsterdam!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Beschuit met muisjes in een laboratorium in Amsterdam. Daar hebben zich voor het eerst twee robots voortgeplant en een heuse robot-baby op de wereld gezet.
Professor Guszti Eiben en zijn onderzoeksteam presenteren de robot-baby vanmiddag aan het grote publiek tijdens de Campus Party in de Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. Het is de start van een nieuw tijdperk: de industriële evolutie. Want robots die zich kunnen voortplanten, kunnen evolueren en zo hun ‘brein’, ‘lijf’ en gedrag naar behoefte aanpassen.
Hier zie je één van de robot-ouders. De robot heeft met een beetje fantasie de vorm van een gekko. In zijn ‘hoofd’ zitten de CPU, accu en lichtsensor.
De daad Voortplantende robots. Het klinkt als sciencefiction, maar dat is het dus niet langer. Maar wat moeten we ons daar nu precies bij voorstellen? “Het is niet zo spannend als de meesten denken,” vertelt Eiben in alle nuchterheid aan Scientias.nl. “Voor mensen seks hebben, vindt er overleg plaats, we noemen dat ‘dating’ of ‘elkaar het hof maken’. De robots doen dat ook. Ze moeten elkaar eerst tot een bepaalde afstand naderen en vervolgens gaan ze elkaar beoordelen. Is de beoordeling positief, dan wordt er gereproduceerd.” De robots sturen dan hun digitale DNA naar een 3D-printer. “Dat DNA is eigenlijk niets anders dan het bouwplan van de robot, de code die de robot – zowel de software als de hardware – beschrijft. De beide ouders sturen dat bouwplan naar de 3D-printer en de 3D-printer combineert die bouwplannen en print op basis daarvan een groot deel van de benodigde onderdelen. Dat gebeurt volledig willekeurig. Dus ook al zouden twee robots meerdere kinderen krijgen, dan ziet elk kind er anders uit.” En dat is dan dus robotische voortplanting: met wederzijdse toestemming, zonder aanraking en geholpen door een 3D-printer.
Hier zie je de andere robot-ouder van de eerste robot-baby. Deze heeft meer de vorm van een spin. De CPU, accu en lichtsensor zitten in het midden. Je ziet: deze ouder is heel anders van vorm dan de andere ouder. En dus is het altijd spannend hoe het nageslacht van deze twee robots eruit gaat zien.
De kraamdagen Uit die ‘geslachtsgemeenschap’ ontstaat een ‘pasgeboren’ robot die een tijdje in een soort ‘kraamkamer’ verblijft totdat deze ‘geslachtsrijp’ is. “Afhankelijk van de toepassing moeten we een aantal criteria bedenken waar deze aan moet voldoen alvorens deze volwassen wordt. Misschien moet de robot eerst een keer opgeladen zijn of bijvoorbeeld een minimale snelheid behalen.” Voldoet de robot niet aan alle criteria, dan is de ‘natuur’ keihard: de robot wordt gerecycled. Voldoet de robot wel aan alle criteria, dan mag deze de kraamkamer verlaten en de ‘arena’ in, waar deze andere robots ontmoet en een partner kan zoeken. Het verhaal begint dan feitelijk weer van voor af aan.
HOOP VOOR DE SINGLE ROBOT
Een date is geen garantie voor succes. Ook voor robots niet. Zo kan het best zijn dat een robot die prima presteert toch geen partner kan vinden die met hem wil ‘paren’. “Het invoeren van aseksuele voortplanting zou dan een optie kunnen zijn,” denkt Eiben. “Als een robot heel goed is en toch geen partner kan vinden, kunnen we toestaan dat deze alleen zijn eigen code naar de geboortekliniek (de 3D-printer, red.) stuurt.” Er ontstaat dan een kloon van de robot. “Dat is het mooie hiervan. We kunnen alles bouwen. We zijn alleen gebonden aan de wetten van de fysica. De wetten van de biologie maken we zelf.”
De date Het is de voortplanting van de robot in een notendop. Maar het begint dus – heel menselijk eigenlijk – met een ontmoeting. Een date. Net zoals wij mensen een mogelijke (seks)partner tijdens een date beoordelen, doen robots dat ook. Maar waar let een robot eigenlijk op? Dat is een beetje afhankelijk van de taakomschrijving, vertelt Eiben, en kan door mensen worden bepaald. Stel: je hebt te maken met robots die ertsen mijnen in zee. Dan wil je natuurlijk dat die robots zoveel mogelijk ertsen boven water halen. Je kunt de robots dan zo programmeren dat ze zich alleen voortplanten als ze goed presteren oftewel heel veel ertsen verzamelen. “Dan kan de ene robot de andere bijvoorbeeld vragen hoeveel kilo erts deze al boven water heeft gehaald.” En alleen als beide robots een indrukwekkende hoeveelheid ertsen hebben bovengehaald, vindt de voortplanting plaats, waaruit – hopelijk – weer een robot voortkomt die ook goed of zelfs nog beter presteert.
Natuurlijke selectie Dat is tenslotte het mooie aan robots die zich voortplanten: ze evolueren en worden gaandeweg steeds beter in de taak die ze is toegedicht. Want hoewel de 3D-printer DNA van vader en moeder geheel willekeurig combineert, vindt er toch een natuurlijke selectie plaats. “Die krijg je er gratis bij en kun je niet eens uitschakelen als je dat zou willen,” stelt Eiben. Want de robots die uit de 3D-printer komen zetten, moeten zien te overleven, een partner vinden en kinderen krijgen. Robots die om wat voor reden dan ook niet daartoe in staat zijn, verdwijnen – met hun DNA – van het toneel en alleen de betere robots en hun DNA gedijen.
En dit is ‘m dan. De allereerste robot-baby, voortgekomen uit het ‘DNA’ van de twee robots die je hierboven ziet.
Veiligheid Misschien krijg je er een beetje de kriebels van: robots die zich voortplanten en evolueren. Waar gaat dat heen? Moet je daar vannacht eigenlijk niet wakker van liggen? Eiben kan daar kort over zijn. “Nee. We hebben bewust gekozen voor een centrale faciliteit waar kinderen vandaan komen.” Zodra Eiben die faciliteit sluit, stopt ook de reproductie. De controle ligt dus bij de mens. “Robots die zelf kinderen in elkaar zetten, zwanger raken of eieren leggen: dat gaan we in mijn lab gewoon niet doen, want dan kunnen robots zich overal, ongecontroleerd vermenigvuldigen en ontwikkelen.” Dat klinkt al aardig geruststellend. Maar de robots van Eiben evolueren toch? Kan het niet zo zijn dat de robots door hun evolutie heen zo slim en behendig worden dat ze de faciliteit niet meer nodig hebben en we toch de controle verliezen? “Ik heb daar behoorlijk lang het hoofd over gebroken: kunnen de robots er omheen werken? Maar ik zie niet in hoe ze dat kunnen doen.”
“ROBOTS DIE ZELF KINDEREN IN ELKAAR ZETTEN, ZWANGER RAKEN OF EIEREN LEGGEN: DAT GAAN WE IN MIJN LAB GEWOON NIET DOEN”
Industriële evolutie Voor nu hoeven we van robots die zichzelf voortplanten en evolueren dus niet wakker te liggen. Maar het werk van Eiben is nog maar het begin. Een eerste stapje richting wat hij de ‘industriële evolutie’ noemt. “Nu is het allemaal nog best krakkemikkig,” stelt hij. “De 3D-printer heeft zo’n 20 uur nodig om de onderdelen te printen en vervolgens moeten we graaien in dozen met CPU’s en bedrading en de robots met de hand in elkaar zetten. Daar worden we wel steeds handiger in, maar dat kost toch ook nog 1 à 2 uur tijd.” Daarmee duurt zo’n robot-bevalling toch al bijna een dag. Maar dat gaat veranderen. Naar verwachting zijn de 3D-printers binnen 3 tot 5 jaar in staat om elektronica en bewegende onderdelen te printen. “Als dat gebeurt, komt het echt binnen handbereik,” voorspelt Eiben. “En dan kun je er gif op innemen dat dit op veel meer plekken gaat gebeuren.” En zijn ze op al die plekken zo voorzichtig als Eiben? Dat is maar zeer de vraag. “Deze technologie breidt de mogelijkheden van robots enorm uit, maar het is bijna niet te voorkomen dat er misbruik van wordt gemaakt,” denkt Eiben.
Zo zou een habitat waarin robots zich kunnen voortplanten eruit kunnen zien. Je ziet onder meer de geboortekliniek (Birth Clinic), kraamkamer (Nursery) en de Arena waar robots elkaar kunnen ontmoeten.
Toepassingen Maar laten we er even van uitgaan dat dat niet gebeurt en robots die zichzelf voortplanten straks op grote schaal voor legitieme doeleinden worden ingezet. Waar kunnen we ze dan tegenkomen? “Ik zie drie scenario’s voor me. Het eerste is heel ‘down to earth‘: de robots worden gebruikt als onderzoeksinstrument en geven meer inzicht in kunstmatige intelligentie en evolutie. Een tweede optie is dat we de robots inzetten op plaatsen op aarde of andere planeten die we nog niet zo goed kennen. Een voorbeeld: robots gaan aan de slag als boswachters en hebben één taak: monitoren. Hoe moeten die robots er dan uitzien? Hebben ze pootjes of zijn wieltjes handiger? Moeten ze groot zijn of juist klein? Om daarachter te komen, moeten we met de robots gaan fokken, net zoals boeren koeien fokken voor meer melk. Je maakt dan gebruik van natuurlijke selectie en menselijke selectie: een mens kiest de beste robots voor voortplanting.” Uiteindelijk rolt daar een geoptimaliseerde robot uit die gekloond kan worden en in het bos kan worden losgelaten. In het bos vindt geen voortplanting plaats, dat gebeurt alleen onder toezicht van mensen, op een ‘fokrobotbedrijf’. De derde optie die Eiben voor zich ziet, gaat nog een stap verder. “Een derde scenario is dat we de robots de geboortekliniek meegeven. Dat zou bijvoorbeeld kunnen wanneer robots ingezet worden om andere planeten bewoonbaar te maken.” De robots kunnen zich dan zelfstandig optimaliseren voor de toegewezen taak.
Het is allemaal toekomstmuziek die misschien wel hoort bij het hoogtepunt van de industriële evolutie. Zover zijn we nu nog niet. Met de geboorte van deze robot-baby is pas een eerste stap gezet. “Nee, ik barstte niet in tranen uit,” vertelt Eiben op de vraag wat die geboorte nu precies met hem doet. Maar lang niet iedereen is zo nuchter als Eiben. “Onlangs gaf ik intern een proefdemonstratie voor een hoogleraar kunstmatige intelligentie, een no-nonsense informaticus en een evolutionair bioloog. Ik liet ze de ouders zien, legde de robot-baby in hun handen en vertelde dat ze de eerste robot-baby ter wereld vasthielden. Later moesten ze bekennen dat ze kippenvel hadden gehad.”

A Monster Black Hole is Forming From 3 Colliding Galaxies
A Monster Black Hole is Forming From 3 Colliding Galaxies
NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team/AURA/B
IN BRIEF
Astrophysicists have discovered a supermassive black hole with a mass 3.8 billion times than that of the Sun that is 1.8 billion light-years away from Earth.
THREE MAKES A BLACK HOLE
About 1.8 billion light-years away in a galaxy called IRAS 20100-4156, astrophysicists have recently discovered that a monster black hole is forming from the collision of three other spiral galaxies.
The black hole, which has been classified as supermassive, is 3.8 billion solar masses.
As a comparison, astrophysicists assert that the black hole at the center of our own galaxy has a mass that is only 4 million times that of the Sun, so a black hole that we measure in billions is a beast of trulyepic proportions.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY
Its discovery was, interestingly, accidental. Scientists from CSIRO were just testing their new telescope, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), when unusual readings from the aforementioned galaxy came into the picture.
Astrophysicist Lisa Harvey-Smith, who was using the telescope, was making a simple routine measurement of wave emissions from IRAS 20100-4156, and she saw that gasses within the emissions were traveling at unusually fast speeds.
The speeds, which were at about 600 km/s (372.823 mi/s), were unexpected from the galaxy, indicating that there’s a supermassive black hole forming at the center.
Harvey-Smith says, “This very fast motion of the gas tells us about how massive the black hole is. The really exciting thing about this is it is a direct measurement of the mass of the black hole by stuff that’s swirling around it.” She adds that discovery of these phenomena that occur in the universe may help in understanding how galaxies form.
It is known that whenever galaxies collide and form a supermassive black hole, stars form at an extremely high rate. This process is called a starburst.
Harvey-Smith’s team has submitted their findings for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Thanks to Time Dilation, Earth’s Core is 2.5 Years Younger Than its Surface
Thanks to Time Dilation, Earth’s Core is 2.5 Years Younger Than its Surface

IN BRIEF
Scientists have put a famous claim by physicist Richard Feynman to the test—that the general theory of relativity predicts the Earth's core has aged more slowly than its surface.
THE CASE OF THE MISSING TIME
Now here’s some weird science for you.
The Earth’s surface is actually 2.5 years older than its core. Meaning that the core of our planet (the inside) is 2.5 years younger than the surface (the outside).Don’t take my word for it—it’s all courtesy of a little theory developed by an obscure physicist named Albert Einstein.
Now, this has nothing to do with the Earth’s core and its surface forming at different times in cosmic history; we can still be pretty certain that the two evolved in situ…at the same time.
It all comes down to the effects of “time dilation,” that tricky little consequence of general relativity wherein gravity has the ability not only to warp space, but to distort time as well. Naturally, the deeper you are in a large object’s gravity well, the greater the distortion of time experienced. GPS satellites even have to account and correct for it in their onboard clocks.
You may remember the film Interstellar, in which Matthew McConaughey spent so much time in the gravity well of a supermassive black hole that he returned after eighty or so years had elapsed still looking as ruggedly handsome as ever.
The team wanted to “fact check” a famous pronouncement allegedly made by the physicist Richard P. Feynman during a series of lectures in the 1960s, in which he mooted the idea that gravitational time dilation should cause the ages of the Earth’s center and its surface to be off by a few days.
Turns out, he was wrong and he was right. He was right in that there certainly is a time differential; considerably wrong in the amount. Uggerhøj and his team found that the Earth’s core has experienced only a fractionally slower time than the surface—about 0.0000000003 second. Insignificant, certainly…but over 4.5 billion years?
It comes out to a difference of about 1.5 years; when variations in density between the core and the surface are factored in, that number was adjusted to 2.5 years.
Of course, the more massive the object, the starker the difference. The team also calculated the gravitational time dilation effect for the Sun’s core and surface—which amounted to 40,000 years.
Barely the blink of an eye in its 4.5-billion-year lifetime.
