    UFO's of UAP'S in België en de rest van de wereld
    In België had je vooral BUFON of het Belgisch UFO-Netwerk, dat zich met UFO's bezighoudt. BEZOEK DUS ZEKER VOOR ALLE OBJECTIEVE INFORMATIE , enkel nog beschikbaar via Facebook en deze blog. Verder heb je ook het Belgisch-Ufo-meldpunt en Caelestia, die prachtig, doch ZEER kritisch werk leveren, ja soms zelfs héél sceptisch... Voor Nederland kan je de mooie site www.ufowijzer.nl bezoeken van Paul Harmans. Een mooie site met veel informatie en artikels. MUFON of het Mutual UFO Network Inc is een Amerikaanse UFO-vereniging met afdelingen in alle USA-staten en diverse landen. MUFON's mission is the analytical and scientific investigation of the UFO- Phenomenon for the benefit of humanity... Je kan ook hun site bekijken onder www.mufon.com. Ze geven een maandelijks tijdschrift uit, namelijk The MUFON UFO-Journal. Since 02/01/2020 is Pieter ex-president (=voorzitter) of BUFON, but also ex-National Director MUFON / Flanders and the Netherlands. We work together with the French MUFON Reseau MUFON/EUROP. ER IS EEN NIEUWE GROEPERING DIE ZICH BUFON NOEMT, MAAR DIE HEBBEN NIETS MET ONZE GROEP TE MAKEN. DEZE COLLEGA'S GEBRUIKEN DE NAAM BUFON VOOR HUN SITE... Ik wens hen veel succes met de verdere uitbouw van hun groep. Zij kunnen de naam BUFON wel geregistreerd hebben, maar het rijke verleden van BUFON kunnen ze niet wegnemen...

    Date of video: June 2016
    Maker of video: Open Minds

    Here is a fantastic report of three different sightings reported to MUFON and Open Minds give a great presentation about them, not to mention a load of facts that will really weigh on your mind. 
    Scott C. Waring
    www.ufosightingsdaily.com 

    Open Minds states:

    An Illinois witness at Spring Grove reported watching a “large, illuminated” triangle UFO at close proximity about 9:30 p.m. on May 22, 2016, according to testimony in Case 76537 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    A Virginia witness at Charlottesville reported watching and photographing a triangle-shaped UFO that briefly hovered and moved away at a fairly low altitude, according to testimony in Case 76512 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.


    An Alaskan witness at Fairbanks reported watching and videotaping a pulsating, sphere-shaped UFO that appeared to emit other objects, according to testimony in Case 76358 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    Date of discovery: June 2016
    Location of discovery: Earths Moon, in Apollo 10 video

    This is a mind-blowing video made by FindingUFO of Youtube. It was just released today and shows several UFOs in old Apollo 10 footage. I must have missed these, because I have never seen this raw footage before. This just goes to prove that even back during the Apollo age, the astronauts knew and saw UFOs on a regular basis. 


    These are the videos that NASA doesn't want you to see. These are the pieces of evidence that NASA wants you to ignore. The time has come where we can no longer turn our back on the truth. Finding UFO really outdid themselves here. Click the above link and please give them a thumbs up on their video.

    Woman Recalls Horrible Extraterrestrial Encounter: Was She Abducted?

    Roy Dutton with 'abductee' Valerie Walters

    Roy Dutton with abductee Valerie Walters

    A Terrifying experience was recalled by an English woman who believed that she was abducted by an alien twenty years ago. Her alien encounter story will be detailed in a new book written by an expert and author of UFO Roy named Dutton. On July 16, 1981, around 1:45 a.m., Valerie Walters said she was driving home with her two friends, Vivienne, and Rosemary from a night out in Sheffield, United Kingdom. She was 26 years old at that time when a strange light hovering in the sky started to appear that terrified them. Moments later, a massive extraterrestrial aircraft flying directly above their car. Though she cannot remember what happened next, she is certain that there was a beeping noise that made her very sleepy.

    As soon as she woke up, she noticed that her friends were gone. So, she came out of the car to look for them. Before she heard a strange voice, the car suddenly disappeared. The mysterious voice reminded her not to be afraid. Her head went red as she felt like she was being vacuumed after hearing the voice. She was already in front of some mysterious beings the next thing she knew. She recalled being in a white wedge-shaped room with two creatures, both with hypnotic blue eyes and shoulder length dark hair. Walters admitted that she and her friends reported the horrible extraterrestrial encounter to the police, but their case was not handled seriously. As with her friends, they cannot entirely recall what happened.

    Alien abduction stories are not rare in humans. In fact, the Walters’ story is not the first case. According to the Inquisitr, it started in the 1950s, when people reported having been abducted by aliens in the “UFO Case Book.” In 2005, Donna Lee claimed to lose her baby after she and her husband were abducted by aliens repeatedly. Another man, in the same year, also claimed that aliens abducted him after spotting a strange object in his backyard.

    Captured over Wilmington, North Carolina on May 27, 2016

    Filer’s Files #23 -2016 Douglas Aviation Studied UFOs - PART I

    ff23

    In special reports, this week’s files cover: Douglas Aviation Think Tank Held the Secret of UFOs, William Tompkins Selected by Extraterrestrials, Solar Warden, Floods and Tornados Causing Death and Destruction Can be Controlled, and UFO Rods Are Real Claims Renowned Scientist

    Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alabama, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.

    Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal, and England 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.

    Douglas Aviation Think Tank Held the Secret of UFOs

    DonDouglasDC8

    Donald Douglas with DC-8 Commercial Jet

    Donald Douglas, CEO of Douglas Aircraft founded the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1921 and built various aircraft successfully for years. Under his leadership, the company became one of the leaders of the commercial aircraft industry, engaging in a decades-long struggle for supremacy with Boeing Aircraft Company. Douglas gained the upper hand, particularly with his revolutionary and highly successful Douglas DC-3 airliner and its equally popular World War II military transport version, the C-47; at the start of the war. His airplanes made up 80% of all commercial aircraft in service. In 1942, Douglas had a sighting of UFOs over Southern California and spoke frequently of the reality of UFOs. He studied UFOs and setup an engineering team at Douglas Aircraft to study UFOs. William Tomkins was part of the think tank studying UFOs.

    From its very inception the men of RAND knew much about saucers. RAND was conceived by Donald Douglas and two Air Force officers conceived the concept of developing

    LeMay

    RAND. These were Major General Curtis LeMay  above  (the US Air Force’s Chief of Development) and General Hap Arnold (considered the “father” of the modern U.S. Air Force.)

    RAND Corporation was established in 1946 by the US Army Air Force as Project RAND (for Research and Development) and is today registered as a nonprofit organization.
    In May of 1948 RAND was separated from Douglas Aircraft and became its own operating entity. Among RAND’s earliest government reports was the release of the enigmatically titled, “Preliminary Design of an Experimental World-Circling Spaceship.”
    LeMay expressed deep interest and concern about the flying saucer phenomena. More than this, LeMay himself was a keeper of the purported 1947 Roswell UFO crash debris.
    This was revealed in a stunningly candid interview with the late U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, who was a U.S. Presidential Candidate in 1964, a Major General and Command Pilot. He was the Air Force Chief of Staff, General LeMay’s professional associate and close friend. LeMay’s UFO involvement was related by Goldwater in a live worldwide broadcast with CNN’s Larry King in 1994. The USAF had just issued its report that debunked the Roswell crash of 1947 as a Mogul balloon. Goldwater informed King that he knew the truth to be far different. He knew this, he explained, because in the 1960’s he had approached LeMay about the crashed UFO issue.

    Goldwater

    Goldwater -who no doubt himself held the highest security clearances- told Larry King:

    I think at Wright-Patterson, if you could get into certain places, you’ll find what the Air Force and the government knows about UFOs. Reportedly, a spaceship landed. It was all hushed up.

    I called Curtis LeMay and I said, ‘General, I know we have a room at Wright Patterson where you put all of this secret stuff. Could I go in there? I’ve never heard General LeMay get mad, but he got madder than hell at me, cussed me out and said, ‘Don’t ever ask me that question again! Goldwater never did.

     The Rand-Battelle Connection and UFOs

    RAND

    RAND Corporation

    Anthony Bragalia writes, “Since the 1940’s the U.S. government has quietly engaged one of its key defense and intelligence agency contractors as a secret UFO think tank.” New investigation reveals that the esteemed RAND Corporation is a “think tank” that has given far more than “passing thought” to things extraterrestrial.

    Rand’s hidden history of UFO involvement has been discovered to include work in policy analysis; evaluation of evidence and in advising on the potential technological advantages achieved from UFO study. Telling connections have also been found between RAND and the Roswell crash event of 1947.

    The RAND Corporation (for Research and Development) is funded through government contracts, university collaborators and by “private donors.” Rand’s primary agency clients include the CIA and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.) Headquartered in Santa Monica, CA the think tank maintains branches worldwide. Rand’s stated mission is to “help to improve policy and decision making through objective research and analysis.” Its work is officially conducted “for the public welfare and security of the United States of America.”

    Over 30 Nobel Prize winners have been employed by RAND. From physics to economics, the 2000 person think tank provides high-level information and evaluation to the U.S. government. RAND has conducted studies in weapons development, intelligence gathering and the design of sensitive underground installations for the USAF. Far more concealed is Rand’s intimate involvement in UFO studies for the U.S. government.

    Battele

    Battelle Memorial Institut

    Like RAND- Battelle Memorial Institute was heavily engaged by government to study UFOs.” It now appears that Battelle metallurgists likely analyzed the Roswell memory metal retrieved from the 1947 crash. That conclusion was drawn from a “reverse engineering of information” of the literature on shape recovery metal; by the revealing statements of two U.S. Generals; through the confession of analysis by a senior Battelle scientist and by establishing other connections.

    But perhaps the most interesting of these telling connections is this: The Director of Battelle at the time of the Roswell crash -Clyde E. Williams- simultaneously sat on the Board of Trustees of the RAND Corporation! Thanks to Deep Secrets of a UFO Think Tank Exposed!  by Anthony Bragalia

    RAND and UFOs – Keeping it all in the Family with Ben Rich

    Ben Rich

    Benjamin Rich helped to lead aerospace giant Lockheed Martin as President of Lockheed Advanced Aeronautics. He oversaw the ultra-secret Lockheed “Skunk Works” division where he spearheaded the development of the Stealth bomber and universally acknowledged as “the father of Stealth technology.”
    Ben Rich stated some extremely revealing things about the reality and nature of UFOs before he passed on. In a letter to his friend and associate John Andrews he replies to Andrew’s observations about the UFO phenomena. Andrews had written a letter to Rich in which Andrews says, “I believe with certainty in manmade UFOs. I am tending to believe there are also extraterrestrial UFOs.

    Rich -In handwritten letter- replies to Andrews, “Yes, I am a believer in both categories. Andrews was a forensic illustrator and aviation model-maker. Before his own death, Andrews related that Rich went further in privately explaining that, “there are two types of UFOs, the ones we build and the ones ‘they’ build.” Rich told Andrews of his concern that the public should not be told. But Rich told Andrews he had recently changed his mind on this and that, those involved in dealing with the ‘subject’ could represent a bigger problem to citizens than knowledge of the visitors themselves.” Just before he died, Andrews says that Rich confirmed to him that “items” were recovered at the crash at Roswell in 1947. Rich also told associate John Goodall, “We have things at Area 51 that you and the best minds in the world won’t even be able to conceive for the next 30-40 years.” He stated, “We have the technology to take ET home.” In fact Rich gave numerous clues and hints about the alien reality to several people before he passed.

    Rand’s Executive Vice President is Michael D Rich who is also Director of RAND National Security Research. A family man, Mr. Rich’s own family history is very telling. His father was aviation genius Benjamin Rich.

    William Tompkins Selected by Extraterrestrials

    SelectedbyET

    He states, “That our planet has been a battleground for warring extraterrestrial cultures for thousands of years. The result has been wars, destruction and attempts to hinder our progress. Recently there has been a great spike in technical innovation due to help from friendly aliens. He believes that perhaps he and many other uniquely talented people have been gifted with skills that more closely reflect what human intelligence is capable of when not held back by outside forces. Regardless of your opinion of the UFO phenomenon, Mr. Tompkins has taken on this subject with energy and claims we have eight cylinder shaped craft 600 feet long carrying smaller fighting craft”.

     He has done extensive research into extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects. He is preparing a six-volume autobiographical study on the subject entitled “Selected by Extraterrestrials.” He states that our planet has been a battleground for warring extraterrestrial cultures for thousands of years. The result has been wars, destruction and attempts to hinder progress by some, but also recently, a great spike in technical innovation is due to help from others. Tomkins claims most of the Mars life is underground in various caverns.  Some human’s ancestors are from other star systems.

    Naval Air Station San Diego replaced an Admiral Obacca had 29 numerous spies in Germany had signed agreement with Reptilians gave Nazis UFOs and life lengthen capability. Navy operatives in a small conference room in a tower at the base. Put data into packages and fly these proposals to top secret Naval Research Facilities and universities. They were to develop parts of UFOs such as Lockheed, Douglas, Northrop, Grumman, JPL, etc.

    After the war, some German scientists and their technology were brought to the US in Project Paperclip along with their advanced technology. He claims we were able to bring the Roswell alien craft down using an advanced technology.

    Solar Warden

    NaavySpaceShips

    U.S Navy

    William Tomkins revealed US Navy has Battle Groups operating outside the Earth. He personally designed five space ships and thirty support ships. Using the latest technology, he designed different space ships for Northrop Aviation Company. Northrop started building the huge craft underground in Utah. These craft now cruise the solar system and fight against Reptilian craft. The battles with them are very short, but we need more battle groups as they are becoming stronger. The US works closely with the Nordic aliens who have similar craft. Tomkins secretary at Douglas Aviation was a Nordic who was very beautiful and gave us advanced technology.

    They apparently came from the Orion Constellation and influenced the building of the pyramids. A large moon size craft flies throughout the galaxy. The Reptilians attack various planets, take them over, and put the residents into slavery. The popularity of the Star Wars movie may be because the public understands the story is close to the truth being withheld from the public.

    Tomkins claims we are now building even better Battle Groups. The Apollo moon landings were also designed to build a base on the moon. We have had bases on the moon along with bases on Mars and Jupiter’s moons. The rovers are expensive cover-ups and it is time to tell the public the truth. He has been cleared by the Navy to reveal this information. TRW was part of the group with unlimited money to build these advanced craft. We do know Tomkins worked for the right companies and was inside special units where advanced designs were produced. At age 93 he chooses to reveal the projects he was working on. He joined the Navy during World War II and his job was to disseminate highly classified data for the full length of the war. Later he went to work for Northrop 2 years, and 12 years at Douglas 1951 to 1962 then went to Lockheed.

    UFOs flew over Los Angeles and San Diego in 1942, Bill saw a small ball of light coming from the ocean in San Diego, with a light shining down. Then it shined on his house with a blinding light. About 12:30 AM UFOs were being fired on all over Southern California.

    FlyingWingJet

    Tomkins worked for Northrop Corporation when they developed the Flying Wing Aircraft a jet-powered heavy bomber aircraft shortly after World War II for service with the U.S. Air Force. The YB-49 featured aflying wing design and was a jet-powered development of the earlier, piston-engined Northrop XB-35. The flying wing was passed over in favor of the more conventional Convair B-36 piston-driven design. Design work performed in the development of lying wings proved to be valuable decades later in the development of the B-2 stealth bomber, which entered service in the early 1990s.

    Stuart Symington the Secretary of the Air Force told Northrop to join with Convair Aircraft but Northrop refused. Technically they had won the competition against the B-36. The Northrop flying wings were more difficult to pick up on radar and could fly much faster and was and excellent bombing platform.

    Tompkins frequently visited China Lake Naval Station that has a large cavern underground and a network of rail systems underground.

    Bill Tompkins said, he drove up to Lake Isabella on the highway to Walker Pass where his family of five were abducted. The auto engine and radio stopped working and his five family members are abducted. They lost time but Tompkins no recollection of what happened.

    William Tomkins joined along with Admiral Webster and developed a Navy League Council from 1982 to-2000 in Southern Oregon. Former Navy officers had been seeing UFOs coming in and out of Mt. Shasta in Northern California. They flew their private planes to attempt to locate the doors that opened to let the craft pass though. Children were being contacted and met with an alien lady would use holograms to explain ET in Medford, Oregon. Many had taken ETs lessons and later joined the Navy.

    Floods and Tornadoes Causing Death and Destruction Can be Controlled

    James McDonald

    James Edward McDonald (May 7, 1920 – June 13, 1971) was an American physicist. He is best known for his research regarding UFOs. McDonald was senior physicist at the Institute for Atmospheric Physics and professor in the Department of Meteorology, University of Arizona.

    What is not remembered is that his work was in weather and cloud modification that can lead to billions of dollars in savings from the destruction from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and drought. McDonald wrote articles concerning cloud and weather modification that many countries of the world now use to protect their citizens. Unfortunately his work seems to be forgotten by the United States. McDonald had publications that showed his inside of knowledge of weather modification such as:

    1. Sciatic Basis of Weather Modification, Science 124, 86 (1956), Website
    2. An Historical Note on an Early Cloud-Modification Experiment, Bull. Am. Meteor. Soc. 42 195 (1961),Website

    He was the author of Physics of Cloud Modification, in the fifth volume of Advances in Geophysics. The Physics of Cloud Modification, Adv. in Geophys. 5, 233-303 (1958), Website

    1. Evaluation of Weather Modification Field Tests, in Weather Modification, Science and Public Policy, ed. by R.G. Fleagle (U. Wash. Press, 1969), Thanks to Wikipedia

    Weather modification was used effectively in 1960s in Vietnam and Laos to create heavy rainstorms on enemy supply routes. It is my opinion that the US and its allies are under attack by enemies using weather modification, disease, financial disruption, natural disasters, and terrorism. These attacks are hard to prove and but very effective. For example what is causing the severe drought in California? Russian equipment is diverting the rain clouds to Mexican crop growing operations. Several countries such as China, Russia have large scientific teams studying weather alteration and the ability to make catastrophic modifications. The Beijing Weather Modification Office is part of China’s nationwide weather control effort, believed to be the world’s largest; it employs 37,000 people nationwide putting silver iodide into clouds. We seem to falling behind in the weather control race, aircraft modern such as the C-17s, C-130s and C-5s could drop chemicals into Tornado forming clouds and greatly weaken their potential destruction. Mc Donald’s weather studies showed how weather modification could occur with devices like HAARP.

    He wrote that the government in the USA has failed to properly support basic scientific research since in weather modification in the mid-1970s. He wrote essays:

    1. On the Electrical Conductivity of the Lower Stratosphere, Trans. Am. Geophys. Un. 34, 529 (1953),Website

    13 Oct 1947, the U.S. Military (as part of Project Cirrus involving General Electric) dropped 80 kg of dry ice into a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, safely off the eastern coast of the USA. (Havens, the hurricane changed direction and traveled inland, where it did extensive damage to property in Georgia. The U.S. military classified the data from the seeding of this hurricane to frustrate litigation. (Ball 1949, pp. 225-226, p. 233). McDonald was an expert in cloud seeding and weather modification and very valuable asset in the weather wars. A similar event seemed to occur with Hurricane Andrew causing billions in damage to New York and New Jersey.

    China may be also affecting our weather as it is already spending $100 million to make rain as scientists and employees are actively changing the weather. Additionally, there are other forces in the world ready to cause great destruction and loss of life.

    HAARP

    Russian HAARP facilities (shown) are likely working to punish the US by changing the path of the jet stream as it flows around the world. HAARP facilities could be affecting the weather in the US and Northern Europe attempting to control the jet stream to cause damaging weather. Successful Russian rain making equipment exported to Mexico also likely adding to the severe drought conditions in California. Manipulation of climate through modification of Cirrus clouds is neither a hoax nor a conspiracy theory, but currently the best option in geo-engineering considered by decision makers to counter global warming. The tornadoes and flooding are equivalent to bombing runs against our citizens. It’s time for the US to protect its citizens from these dangers. Dozens are being killed and the destruction of homes and schools is rampant including five soldiers at Fort Hood by flooding. Air National Guard and Reserve equipment could be diverted to conduct cloud seeding operations..

    Russia uses a variety of aircraft to create favorable weather conditions using cloud seeding

    Sightings of the UFOs in the United States

    Alabama Object

    ALHuntsville8Aug15

    Huntsville — I was simply taking a picture of a cloud. Later, when I looked at the photo I noticed the object on August 24, 2016. There was a strange blue light in the sky.

    Thanks to MUFON CMS

    California Cylinder

    CAgrassValley28May16

    Grass Valley — At 7:30 PM, Saturday, May 28.2016, I went to my back deck looked up and noticed a tiny dot high in the sky. I realized it was slowly moving from east to south in an upward angle. It was moving much too fast to be a planet and much to slow to be a satellite. I yelled to my roommate to get his camera and he was able to get five pictures. They began moving straight up until it crossed into a very high altitude cloud and faded from sight. The entire event lasted about 7 minutes. It was an hour before sunset; and the object appeared spherical and brighter on the sun side apparently reflecting the sun. We downloaded the photos and saw very different objects. One image was a fuzzy sphere, one a metallic sphere, one oblong, one was a silver sphere, and lastly one like an orange gold bell. Beale Air Force Base is about 30 miles west of where I live. Thanks to Derek and MUFON CMS

    Florida Sphere

    FLgainsville25May16

    Gainesville — My son was running behind our house at sunset in a wooded area, beneath power lines on 25 May 2016. At 20:55 he saw an orange globe-shaped object silently hovering in place in the western sky. He ran toward it to get closer, stopped and took two pictures. Two beams of light appeared below the craft, but did not reach the ground. The beams appeared to be part of the propulsion system as moments after the beams appeared, the object slowly moved to the east. The beams did not point straight down, instead were slightly angled outward. He lost view of the object as it slowly moved behind the trees to the east. He texted me to come see an odd object in the sky, I ran out there, but it had disappeared behind the trees at that point. We ran down the hill to see if we could see it, but it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Massachusetts Sphere

    MAMay16

    Williamstown — I was at a friend’s farm alone on May 28, 2016, about 1130 am, and took a pretty picture of the view there with my Iphone. Then I went home and did not notice anything at the time.

    Then I loaded the picture on my computer with no alteration and just happened to notice an object high in the sky.

    I zoomed in and noticed it had a definite shape that seems like metal. It was not an airplane and we are not on any flight path.

    So I have no idea what it is. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Michigan Triangle

    MITriangle

    Ludington – About 9:45 pm, on May 21, 2016, I started my bike and rode through Sterns Park Beach and Lake Michigan water front to look up to see it. It was large and broad moving east down the lakeshore over the water, it was dull and dark, triangular in shape. The underside didn’t seem to be lit but it had some reddish and bluish lights at its point and mid way down the side, it seemed to be a half mile out or so, it continued its current course still over the water, then it seemed to stay stock still. The only other lights were coastal lights. No other vehicles were around. I quick shifted into gear and took off fast. I was in top gear going about 80 to 90 mph as wind drifts the sand over the road and it can be hazardous.  I panicked slowing to a stop. It looked to be a half mile to a mile up above the ground. It hoved there for at least three minutes then shot straight up over to the south and then disappeared. I recall the lights seemed to rotate while it waited. NOTE: The above image is CGI.

    Minnesota Lights

    MNRedWing29May16

    Upon taking our puppy outside at 9:41 pm on Sunday May 29th, 2016 my fiancé and I observed a bright white light with an orange colored aura around it. It wasobserved NW from our home and very quickly disappeared thereafter. We decided to sit and watch for a while to see if it came back. It did at 9:52 pm. The light appeared bright white, but when it dimmed, it had an orange glow, flickered, pulsated-like, and then dove down quickly. Over the course of three hours, the light came and went but did not stay in view for very long and dimmed too much for video. However, I was able to take a few pictures with my Iphone 6 Plus). During that time, we witnessed the light change direction (from North to South and West to East), descend and ascend. emit orbs of light, disappear and re-appear, hover and sometimes follow a path or fly together with the orbs of light it had emitted. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    New Hampshire Lights

    NHNashua29mAY16

    Nashua — Just before twilight, my wife and I had just finished walking our dog on May 29, 2016, when I saw two strange large red orange lights. They rose from behind the white pine trees heading southwest on an overcast evening. These orbs moved in a floaty but controlled way, but unlike any aircraft I know. As they traveled, they seemed to have subtly moved around as they headed on their trajectory. These two orbs were followed by four more in an identical way. My wife and I were completely amazed. I captured this event on my iPhone. My wife told me that she saw two of them move together then apart as they were departing. Ten minutes later, we saw two more of these same orbs acting in a similar manner. These orbs were below cloud level and disappeared by fading into a small dot. Thanks to MUFON CMS

      North Carolina Disc

    NCwilomington27May16

    Wilmington –At the beach in my brother and his wife fishing sister in law notice rough waters and took picture on May 27, 2016.

    After posting on Facebook shenoticed this strange object that she didn’t notice when she took picture.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Ohio Light

    Ohioro0veCity30May16

    Grove City — The sky was a storm brewing on May30, 2016. I took picture just because of the sky. I did not see a dot in the sky or over the house until I viewed a picture later. I zoomed in and it’s a strange object that appears to have lights inside.
    Maybe it’s just a cloud but a weird one. A chemtrail was nearby as well. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Oregon Ball of Light Explodes
    WAankleMark

    Portland – On May 25, 2016, a man experienced a bright ball of light in his bedroom that immediately exploded. The next day the man noted a strange scar on his ankle that wasn’t there before.

    He said that the mark resembled a claw. The man regularly tries to communicate with higher intelligence (aliens) through crystals.

    Pennsylvania Light

    PAreading27May16

    Reading — Took notice of a red light in the sky on May 25, 2016, that looked like a red star. I thought it might be Mars, but became clear that it was a moving object in the sky. It moved closer into view and then hovered completely still with its red glow for 5 minutes. It shocked me to see it shift from left to right at amazing speeds then slowly go back to hovering. Then it descended lower, and shot back up into the sky and vanished. This was clearly something with so much control and speed. There were three other people with me who witnessed the event. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Texas Light

    TXdallas29May16

    Dallas — Watching thunderstorms on my balcony oon May 29, 2016, an orange ball flew overhead parallel to US 35. This was very different from the hundred of aircraft I see taking off or landing at DFW or Love field, which are also visible from my balcony. At first I thought it was a plane but within a couple of seconds I realized this was different. I went from that’s weird, to I need to film this, so I turned on my iPhone 6S to video. My wife was with me and observed it as well. I lost sight of the object when it ascended above the cloud deck in the direction of DFW airport. I went inside to get a better camera when a second object appeared, identical to the first. I tried to get the lens cap off, and focus the camera quickly but it disappeared before above the clouds before I could. This was distinctly different from aviation lights I see all the time. Thanks to MUFON CMS

     Worldwide UFO Sightings

    Australia Disc 3 Bright Objects

    AUMay13Objects

    Port Macquarie – Objects wee moving in sync in the sky on May 3, 2016. They traversed across the sky from NNW to SSE.

    I checked with several satellite tracking sites and found no correlation to this formation.

    I’m keen to know what they are. It is possible to be military or other? Thanks to William Puckett, DirectorWebsite


    AU22May16

    Canberra — I went outside for a cigarette late in the afternoon on May 18, 2016, and stood at the end of the driveway near the road. Looked to my left and noticed a very bright object in the sky to the northwest. At first I thought it was a jet with vapor trail but it wasn’t moving. I then grabbed my camera which had an x 1.8 teleconverter attached and a tripod.

    I began filming the object in HD and notified my neighbors when they arrived home. They came to see it as well. It looked like a glowing jellybean. I rang two friends while filming it.
    It moved very slowly to the west. It seemed to be glowing but the darker it got the dimmer it got. I filmed it for over 40 minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Canada Light

    CanKeswick23May16

    Keswick, Ontario — On May 23, 2016 my wife watched what seems to be the same thing you saw. I managed to take a picture before it disappeared.

    The object was a red and orange ball that looked similar to a flare, but was definitely not a flare. It flew directly towards us at a height of approximately 1,000 feet then veered away from us, climbed quickly and then accelerated out of sight.

    We viewed it for about 5 minutes in total. It was the most fascinating thing I have ever seen. I wish I could have got a better shot of it. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

    Germany UFO

    GermanyMayCraft

    Alling – In the Bayern Region of Germany — A strange flying object was seen. I took a spontaneous photo.

    It was only 500 feet to a mile away. It hovered for awhile and then flew away on a path. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Ireland Object

    IRCork

    Cork – I was looking at the moon with the naked eye, until I uploaded the photo’s to my PC!

    Have a look and remember it’s not the moon that’s strange in the photo, but the strange objects to the left and down. Zoom in.

    I also have more photos and video footage on a close encounter at 60 feet which had a physical affect on me. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    New Zealand Light

    NZTaopao7Apr16

    TAUPO — While traveling home from work I was stopped at road works. I noticed as the sun was going down 2 orbs one above the setting sun and one to the Left in what looked like a another sunset.
    The orb on the left is Green with 4 white dots on its surface and the one above the Sun was white. I thought it was very strange to see another mini sunset to the left and then I could just make out the green orb.  When I arrived home and enlarged the picture I noticed the 4 white dots on its surface and also the other orb. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Portugal Light

    PortugalLights25May16

    Charneca de Caparica — One more night chasing UFOs on May 25th, 2016, and this one was more bright than the others crossing. At the same time I have now the planets of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. At this time of observation no planes were flying or passing by.

    If we multiplied this observation for the people who are seeing the same as me, we arrived to a conclusion: this planet doesn`t belong to us. The logistics are so big that we can calculate an invasion. I have a son 11 years old, what kind of legacy have I left him!? We must do much more to bring the true to the world, later we do that worse will be to the society, remember my words. Thanks to MUFON CMS and Sal

     Peru Disc

    PeruDisc20Ma16

    Cachachi — Today at 10 PM, we were alerted by teachers in kindergarten that they could observe a white disc hovering in Araqueda Cachachi, Cajamarca.

    An unidentified object of surprises dwells in center village on May 24, 2016.

    The sky above Araqueda, they used zoom lens captured the following image. Thanks to MUFON CMS

     UK England Object

    UKILeigh30May16f

    Leigh — I had just gone into my rear yard to put an empty bottle into the bin I saw flashing lights in the sky. There were four red lights flashing brightly and when they faded there was a constant green band of light across the middle, separating the top half from the bottom. At first I thought the police helicopter was out again, but as i watched i realized there was no noise. No noise at all. There were planes flying over as i live about 12 miles from Manchester airport and i could hear those. It didn’t seem to be moving at all. Just flashing. I ran into the house and woke my partner up. I was excited. When you have cancelled everything else out, it could only be one thing. A ufo. I grabbed my phone and went back outside. My partner joined me and we both tried to work out just what it was. We both watched and agreed we had never seen anything like it before. After about 15 mins my partner went back in and left me to it. It seemed to be moving extremely slowly. In the 50 minutes i was watching i would say it had traveled approximately 10 miles. It seemed to be stopping at points. The lights looked to be brighter then but that might have been my eyes because it was dark. I watched planes of all altitudes travel across the sky and all were gone in less than five minutes. Eventually it vanished behind the roof of the house behind ours. I tried to video it but my phone would zoom in far enough and being dark you couldn’t see any thing but a small light. The video is jumpy because im at full zoom, so it is the phone not the object moving. You can see it flashing though. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    In "X-Men: Apocalypse," hitting theaters Friday (May 27), a big, blue powerhouse called "the world's first mutant" threatens humanity with his fearsome abilities. Though real-life mutations haven't given people apocalyptic powers (yet!), science has hinted at some of the human lineage's "first mutations."

    From genes implicated in the ballooning of the human brain to mutations associated with the modern diet, genetic tweaks to our human ancestors helped make this species the dominant one on the globe — at least until an Apocalypse comes along.

    Here are some of the "first mutants" in humanity's prehistory.

    In the movies and the original comic books, the X-Men follow the lead of Professor Charles Xavier. "Professor X's" mutant telepathy offers an appropriate sci-fi echo of some of the real mutations that set humans apart in prehistory: genetic changes that allowed for big, powerful brains.

    Research into the fully sequenced genomes of gorillas helped to identify one such gene: Called RNF213, it showed accelerated evolution in the branch of primates that includes humans, gorillas and chimpanzees, said Aylwyn Scally, a geneticist at the University of Cambridge in England, who led the research.

    "What we mean [by accelerated evolution] is not just that it's accumulated a lot of differences," Scally told Live Science. "What we're looking for in accelerated evolution are changes that really do change the protein sequence."

    And that's just what happened with RNF213, he said. What's more, other researchers have linked deficiencies in RNF213 with moyamoya disease, which involves decreased blood flow to the brain. This suggests RNF213's evolution helped facilitate the large blood flow needed by big, energy-hungry brains, Scally said.

    In general, Scally and his colleagues found that genes related to brain development and sensory-information processing showed accelerated evolution in the human lineage. In fact, RNF213 is just one of many genes, such as "Frizzled-8" and ASPM, linked to brain-size evolution in humans, Katherine Pollard, who studies human genetics at the University of California, San Francisco, told Live Science.

    Of course, human brains aren't just big. Like Professor X's brain-boosting "Cerebro" computer, the real human brain is a powerful processor. And scientists have also identified a few mutations that might have helped to juice up the human computer.

    Disease studies revealed that a DNA region called HAR1 shows activity in the human brain, which means the DNA is turned on, and not suppressed in brain cells. Specifically, during brain development, this region shows activity within neurons that help lay down the pattern of the cerebral cortex, the gray-matter seat of consciousness, language and memory. Moreover, early studies comparing the human and chimpanzee genomes identified HAR1 as evolving rapidly in humans after the human-chimpanzee split.

    "We thought the most important chimp-human differences would be these sequences that had been frozen throughout evolution … but then changed just in humans," Pollard said. Those regions are the HARs (human accelerated regions), and HAR1 was the fastest-evolving of those regions in humans, Pollard told Live Science.

    Research has linked another gene, FOXP2, with an important accomplishment of the human brain: language. Individuals with FOXP2 mutations have speech difficulties, and the gene was identified by Pollard as another evolutionary hotspot.

    "So that's very exciting and suggests that it could have a role in our language abilities," Pollard said. "It's interesting because that region of the genome, both in its regulation and the gene itself, are quite different between humans and chimps."

    Professor X isn't the X-Men's only claim to fame, just as the brain isn't the be-all and end-all of human prowess. Like fan-favorite Wolverine, whose mutant "healing factor" tamps down toxins, humanity owes some of its success to an ability to ward off sickness. [11 Surprising Facts About the Immune System]

    The migration of ancient humans across the globe, over the period from 200,000 years ago to 18,000 years ago, suggests they could eat a wide variety of plants, said Nathaniel Dominy, an anthropologist at Dartmouth College. Research by Dominy and colleagues suggests that a gene called AMY1 helped make such a wide-ranging diet possible.

    "One of the really extraordinary things about modern humans is … how we rapidly colonized the rest of the world," Dominy told Live Science. And the only way that could have happened "is if we were able to adapt to local conditions, and that would have entailed the experimentation of new, local plant foods."

    Plants have defenses, though, which often result in diarrhea, sapping unlucky diners of nutrients. AMY1, which codes the enzyme that digests starch, may have helped early humans obtain the glucose from plants before getting sick, Dominy said.

    That's because modern humans have more copies of AMY1 compared to human relatives (chimps and bonobos), and in humans and close relatives, AMY1 is expressed in the mouth, not just in the intestines. This means people can begin effectively digesting starch as soon as they take a bite — long before the meal hits their intestines and could make them sick, Dominy said.

    Despite these exciting findings, geneticists have gotten more conservative in their predictions about human evolution, Pollard said. In other words, just as the X-Men franchise oversimplifies mutation, early research into human genes may have oversimplified how human evolution occurs.

    Linkages like that between HAR1 and the brain's cortex are based on "guilt by association" evidence, Pollard said. "It's in the right place at the right time to have that effect," she said. Actually proving such an effect has been more difficult, she said.

    More recent work has dismantled the idea that a single gene may encode intelligence, language, bipedalism and other complex human traits, Scally said.

    "With complicated phenotypes, like intelligence, it seems those are also very complicated at the genetic level," Scally said. "It's a very marginal change across a whole bunch of genes." Phenotypes are the traits of an organism.

    In addition, many scientists have focused their attention on regulatory regions of DNA, which turn other genes on and off, Pollard said. That work "suggests that humans and chimps aren't different because we have different building blocks or proteins, but that we're using those same building materials in different ways," she said.

    But coming to terms with those complications is just part of the process of unraveling humanity's genetic background, Scally said.

    "We are groping towards that question of what makes humans unique," he said. "But we're still fairly near the beginning of that journey."

    New Evidence That Black Holes May Actually Be 2D Holograms

     
    NASA
    IN BRIEF

    A team of theoretical physicists used Loop Quantum Gravity, string theory's biggest contender, and showed that the calculations are consistent with the idea that black holes have no insides, but that objects are stuck on their surface.

    BLACK HOLE: NOT BLACK, AND NOT A HOLE

    There’s a lot in our universe we don’t completely understand, such as dark matter and dark energy. Indeed, in the bizarre world of quantum physics, ideas are constantly shifting and changing regarding the true nature of the (somewhat mysterious) forces that govern our universe.

    This is what’s happening now in the debate over what black holes really are.

    Renowned theoretical physcist Stephen Hawking has previously stated that, given enough time, black holes will evaporate. And now, a new calculation by a team of theoretical physicists supports the idea that black holes are not even holes at all—that they are flat, two-dimensional holograms projecting a three-dimensional illusion.

    Interestingly, this comes shortly after reports of a behemoth black hole, 600 million times the mass of the Sun was uncovered.

    THE MATH IS RIGHT.

    The new model makes sense of the inconsistencies between Einstein’s theory of gravity and quantum physics, particularly the black hole information paradox. If the previous belief that everything a black hole absorbs gets destroyed is true, then it clashes with the theory that information, like energy, cannot be destroyed.

    Physicists suggest that the reason we can’t understand what a black hole is, is because we’re trying to make sense of it in a three-dimensional perspective. Some advocate that black holes have no insides and that everything that a black hole allegedly sucks in is actually just stuck on its surface, with all the information preserved until the radiation emissions or Hawking radiation leaks it back out into space.  

    Physicist Daniele Pranzetti from the Max Planck Institute for Theoretical Physics in Germany and her team came up with calculations consistent with this idea using an approach calledLoop Quantum Gravity (LQG).

    “We were able to use a more complete and richer model compared with what [has been] done in the past … and obtain a far more realistic and robust result,” says Pranzetti. “This allowed us to resolve several ambiguities afflicting previous calculations.”

    While there is currently no way to definitely prove (or disprove) the idea, this might help theoretical physicists generate more models to cross-check with the hypothesis. For now, only one thing is absolutely certain: Quantum physics is very strange.

    Weird Shapes on Pluto Hint at Icy 'Face-Lift' Over Time
    The strange polygon-shaped terrain on Pluto can be seen clearly on the right side of this image captured by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft during its historic flyby on July 14, 2015. Scientists say the strange shapes are signs of geologic activity from churning nitrogen ice that can change the face of Pluto over time.

    Strange geometric shapes miles wide seen on Pluto's icy surface likely formed because of a churning sheet of frozen nitrogen more than a half-mile thick, two new studies find. The findings reinforce the idea that Pluto is not cold and dead but surprisingly geologically active, the researchers say.

    The findings could shed light on how other icy dwarf planets far beyond Pluto in the solar system might behave, the researchers added.

    Scientists analyzed the most prominent geological feature on Pluto — a vast, oval-shaped basin informally named Sputnik Planum. The area, which stretches across Pluto's equator, is about 347,500 square miles (900,000 square kilometers) and at least 1.2 to 1.8 miles (2 to 3 km) deep. Its shape and surrounding mountains suggest it is a crater left over from a giant cosmic impact "maybe 4 billion or more years ago," said William McKinnon, a planetary geophysicist at Washington University in St. Louis and lead author of one of the two studies analyzing Pluto. [See the Amazing Pluto Pictures by New Horizons]

    The surface of Pluto’s icy Sputnik Planum — seen here in a photo captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft during its close flyby of the dwarf planet on July 14, 2015 — is covered with churning ice “cells” that are geologically young and turning over due to convection.

    Sputnik Planum is filled with ice made up predominantly of nitrogen. This frozen nitrogen is broken up into odd, irregular polygons about 6 to 25 miles (10 to 40 km) across, and the centers of some of these polygons rise about 165 feet (50 meters) above their sides.

    To discover the origins ofthese mysterious polygons, which the researchers also called "cells," the scientists analyzed data from NASA's New Horizons spacecrraft, which made the first-ever flyby of Pluto in July 2015. Their computer models suggest that convection, or churning that arises from the rising and sinking of warmer and cooler matter, could help explain the giant sizes of these cells. (Pluto's innards are warmer than its surface because of heat from long-lived radioactive material.)

    Pluto's polygon-shaped terrain is located in Sputnik Planum, a region that forms the bright, western half of the heart-shaped region near the center of this enhanced image of Pluto from NASA's New Horizons flyby.

    Specifically, the research team's models suggest that layers of nitrogen ice more than 0.6 miles (1 km) thick are convecting to create these cells. "The convection you're seeing here is unlike anything seen before in the solar system, because the material that's convecting isn't rigid and strong — everything here is softer," McKinnon told Space.com. "Nitrogen ice is not soft like a gummy bear is soft, but still more pliable than water ice on Earth, so it's convecting vigorously and forming these polygonal cells."

    The scientists estimated that convection likely leads the surface of Sputnik Planum to renew itself about every half-million years. This makes it one of the youngest surfaces in the solar system.

    McKinnon noted that in the past, "Pluto's internal heat flow would have been higher, so the convection would have been even more vigorous, and could even have led to melting of the solid nitrogen at depth, which, by being buoyant, would have erupted as a very fluid 'lava.'"

    Pluto, the most famous dwarf planet in our solar system, underwent a well-publicized (and somewhat controversial) reclassification that took away its title as the ninth and most distant planet from the sun. So, how well do you know this fascinating world?

    The scientists detailed their findings in two papers, one here and the other here, in the June 2 issue of the journal Nature.

    Picture sensation: Does viral image show crashed UFO on its way to mysterious Area 51?

    Picture sensation: Does viral image show crashed UFO on its way to mysterious Area 51?

    A photo of a flatbed semi-hauler snapped on Friday morning — March 4, 2016 — as it transported a mysterious saucer-shaped object draped in tarpaulin on Arizona State Route 77 near Holbrook, has gone viral on social media. Public curiosity about the mysterious object was piqued after inquiries with the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) by a local Arizona station elicited a “cryptic response.”

    The photo (see below) was uploaded to social media by Charlene Yazzie. She passed the truck while driving on Arizona State Route 77 near Holbrook in Arizona. She was surprised when she noticed the truck was escorted by black Department of Public Safety (DPS) vehicles. She wondered what the covered flying saucer-shaped object could be and snapped a picture.

    “I was driving north and the truck was headed south to the freeway,” she told local Arizona station KPHO. “It was escorted by three DPS vehicles.”

    She uploaded the picture to Facebook where it attracted a lot of attention. Members of the UFO community speculated freely about it.

    When KPHO approached the DPS for an explanation of the mysterious tarp-draped object, the Duty Office responded, saying, “Unfortunately we do not know what that is but it looks interesting.”

    https://youtu.be/3drZDZabAyw

    The response fuelled suspicion and sparked even wilder speculation, with conspiracy theorists construing it as an acknowledgment that the object was top secret and that the DPS personnel who escorted it had also been kept in the dark about what it was.

    UFO hunters alleged that the “higher ups” were hoping they could get away with transporting alien technology newly recovered from a crash site to Area 51 in broad daylight.

    UFO conspiracy theorists believe that the military and government agencies have recovered crashed UFOs from multiple sites in the past and that government scientists and engineers are working in multiple top-secret bases to reverse-engineer the propulsion technologies of the UFOs.

    According to conspiracy theorists, the first case known to the public occurred in 1947 when an alien UFO allegedly crashed at a ranch near Roswell in New Mexico. It was rumored that the military authorities recovered alien corpses from the crash site. Some conspiracy theorists claim that alien survivors in the crash were housed secretly in Area 51 and forced to help government scientists to reverse-engineer the spacecraft’s propulsion technology.

    Related conspiracy theories that emerged in the decades after the Roswell incident claim that the U.S. government entered into military-technology alliance with advanced alien races that helped the Nazis to develop the V-2 rocket technology.

    Major breakthroughs in the U.S. space program in the era after the Second World War were due to assistance received from advanced alien races, such as the Grays, the Tall Whites, and the highly evolved Arcturian races.

    Reports of ongoing advanced research into “impossible” EM Drive technology at NASA’s Eagleworks Laboratory and a new technology called “directed energy propulsion,” which could make a journey to Mars last only 30 minutes, have fuelled speculation that major breakthrough has been achieved in decades-long efforts to reverse-engineer UFOs recovered from UFO crash sites.

    According to conspiracy theorists, government agencies are deliberately teasing with snippets of information released to the media to prepare the public for the unveiling of new radical technologies derived from alien spacecraft reverse-engineering projects.

    UFO blogger Scott C. Waring also asserted that the semi-hauler was carrying a flying saucer UFO, and that it was being transported from the top-secret Area 51 military base in the Nevada Desert.

    He suggested that the UFO could be the latest advanced technology from the U.S. government’s alien allies.

    “This could be some of the alien tech being moved out of Area S4, part of Area 51,” he wrote. “For the USAF to be transporting it and not flying it, means this is the newest alien tech — probably given recently from aliens to the USAF as a gift.”

    But some skeptics criticized Waring’s assumption that the government would transport “earth shattering secret equipment down a civilian roadway.”

    “Ha ha! What is dumber than transporting a potentially earth shattering piece of secret equipment down a civilian roadway? Do it during the light of day! C’mon guys,” one skeptic wrote.

    Another commented, “But it is a well-known fact that Scott don’t have a clue what he is talking about. This is no UFO nor is it alien tech.”

    Artificial Intelligence: What We Have to Look Forward to and What We Have to Fear

    IN BRIEF

    "Everything we love about civilization is a product of intelligence, so amplifying our human intelligence with artificial intelligence has the potential of helping civilization flourish like never before – as long as we manage to keep the technology beneficial.

    Max Tegmark

    WHAT IS AI?

    From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons.

    Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI (or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI).

    While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.

    WHY RESEARCH AI SAFETY?

    In the near term, the goal of keeping AI’s impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas, from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control. Whereas it may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid.

    The creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history…it might also be the last.

    Another short-term challenge is preventing a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons.

    In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. As pointed out by I.J. Good in 1965, designing smarter AI systems is itself a cognitive task. Such a system could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind.

    By inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a superintelligence might help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history. Some experts have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align the goals of the AI with ours before it becomes superintelligent.

    There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the creation of superintelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial. At FLI we recognize both of these possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or unintentionally cause great harm. We believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits of AI while avoiding pitfalls.

    HOW CAN AI BE DANGEROUS?

    Most researchers agree that a superintelligent AI is unlikely to exhibit human emotions like love or hate, and that there is no reason to expect AI to become intentionally benevolent or malevolent. Instead, when considering how AI might become a risk, experts think two scenarios most likely:

    1. The AI is programmed to do something devastating: Autonomous weapons are artificial intelligence systems that are programmed to kill. In the hands of the wrong person, these weapons could easily cause mass casualties. Moreover, an AI arms race could inadvertently lead to an AI war that also results in mass casualties. To avoid being thwarted by the enemy, these weapons would be designed to be extremely difficult to simply “turn off,” so humans could plausibly lose control of such a situation. This risk is one that’s present even with narrow AI, but grows as levels of AI intelligence and autonomy increase.
    2. The AI is programmed to do something beneficial, but it develops a destructive method for achieving its goal: This can happen whenever we fail to fully align the AI’s goals with ours, which is strikingly difficult. If you ask an obedient intelligent car to take you to the airport as fast as possible, it might get you there chased by helicopters and covered in vomit, doing not what you wanted but literally what you asked for. If a superintelligent system is tasked with a ambitious geoengineering project, it might wreak havoc with our ecosystem as a side effect, and view human attempts to stop it as a threat to be met.

    As these examples illustrate, the concern about advanced AI isn’t malevolence but competence. A super-intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours, we have a problem.

    You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. A key goal of AI safety research is to never place humanity in the position of those ants.

    WHY THE RECENT INTEREST IN AI SAFETY

    Android holding a holographic Earth  - stock photo

    Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, and many other big names in science and technology have recently expressed concern in the media and via open letters about therisks posed by AI, joined by many leading AI researchers. Why is the subject suddenly in the headlines?

    The idea that the quest for strong AI would ultimately succeed was long thought of as science fiction, centuries or more away. However, thanks to recent breakthroughs, many AI milestones, which experts viewed as decades away merely five years ago, have now been reached, making many experts take seriously the possibility of superintelligence in our lifetime.

    Since it may take decades to complete the required safety research, it is prudent to start it now.

    While some experts still guess that human-level AI is centuries away, most AI researchers at the 2015 Puerto Rico Conferenceguessed that it would happen before 2060. Since it may take decades to complete the required safety research, it is prudent to start it now.

    Because AI has the potential to become more intelligent than any human, we have no surefire way of predicting how it will behave. We can’t use past technological developments as much of a basis because we’ve never created anything that has the ability to, wittingly or unwittingly, outsmart us. The best example of what we could face may be our own evolution. People now control the planet, not because we’re the strongest, fastest or biggest, but because we’re the smartest. If we’re no longer the smartest, are we assured to remain in control?

    FLI’s position is that our civilization will flourish as long as we win the race between the growing power of technology and the wisdom with which we manage it. In the case of AI technology, FLI’s position is that the best way to win that race is not to impede the former, but to accelerate the latter, by supporting AI safety research.

    Are We Alone? ISS Video Shows 

    ‘Fireball-Like UFO Streaking Through

     Space’

    © YouTube/SecureTeam10

    Footage from the International Space Station’s live feed on Thursday captured an amazing scene of what appears to be a large fireball streaking through space.

    The footage, posted to YouTube by UFO investigators from SecureTeam 10, has extraterrestrial hunters excited, and has sparked debate over whether the fireball is an alien spacecraft.

    The video, which had been viewed nearly 20,000 times within hours of being posted, has been flooded with comments from people debating the fireball, with claims ranging from a comet, to a meteor or just an old-school UFO.

    "This amazing piece of ISS footage that was just emailed to me a few minutes ago has got me very excited,” Tyler Glockner of the UFO-spotter’s group told the Mirror.

    "We have posted a lot of ISS videos showing these UFOs up there," he added.

    Glockner opined that the object could not be a fireball, as there is no oxygen in space, and therefore material cannot combust.

    "It comes out of the darkness of space,’ he declaimed, “flies up behind the ISS and we can actually see, just before it disappears, some red lights shining on the ISS.”

    "When the ISS finally comes into view of the sun and you can see the Earth beginning to show underneath it and you can see in the exact spot where this object appears, there is nothing there."

    Still, most suggest that the fireball is simply a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere.

    “It's a meteor. If you continue the line of the earth's borders it matches up with the spot where the "ufo" appeared. It's quite obviously a meteor hitting the atmosphere,” a commenter posted.

    "Looks like a view from the ISS of the meteorite exploding over Arizona,” another said.

    Conspiracy theorists remain unappeased, however, as one user posts: "2 times last year I went to the live feed of the I.S.S. and both times within 15 mins or so… I seen a ship coming into view of the camera one was unbelievable and they cut the feed."

    Believers will believe what they want, but the image remains a spectacular sight.

    IN BRIEF

    Two scientists from the University of Rochester and the University of Washington have developed an “archaeological form” to the famous Drake equation, which will allow us to determine how many technological civilizations have formed in the history of the universe. And it seems there may be a number of them.

    THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

    Are we alone? It is, perhaps, one of the most significant questions human beings have ever asked—right up there with “Why are we here?” and “How did it all begin?”

    Indeed, as soon as we understood that the universe was not circumscribed by the Earth’s horizons, but extended outward for unfathomable distances and contained within its compass innumerable worlds like our own, we began to wonder whether we are unique and alone, or if there might not be others out there—like us, and yet very unlike us.

    The famous “Drake equation,” formulated by astronomer Frank Drake in 1961, sought to establish a mathematical, probabilistic framework to understand the question of whether or not humanity is really alone in the cosmos; it used a number of ingenious terms to estimate the number of technological civilizations in our galaxy.

    The problem with Drake’s formulation was that three of those terms, in particular, were just too uncertain to permit a reliable estimate.

    According to Adam Frank, astronomy and physics professor at the University of Rochester, and a coauthor of the paper (appearing in the journal Astrobiology): “We’ve known for a long time approximately how many stars exist. We didn’t know how many of those stars had planets that could potentially harbor life, how often life might evolve and lead to intelligent beings, and how long any civilizations might last before becoming extinct.”

    SETTING SOME LIMITS

    Recent exoplanet research, particularly with the Kepler Space Telescope, has constrained the first of these terms, determining that about one-fifth of stars possess planets within their habitable zones.

    That leaves the second and third terms—the probability for advanced life to evolve, and the longevity of technological civilizations—but Frank and his colleague, Woodruff Sullivan of the University of Washington, simply altered the math a little. They eliminated the second term by calculating the odds against humankind being the only advanced civilization in the universe; and they dismissed the third by formulating a “cosmic archaeological question”—how often does intelligent life evolve throughout cosmic history?

    Their new equation, which they call the “Archaeological form” of the Drake equation, looks like this—Nast x fbt.

    Nast, the number of habitable planets, is defined as Nast = N* x fp x np, where N* is the total number of stars, fp is the fraction that form planets, and np is the average of those planets circling in the habitable zones of their parent stars. The second term of the Archaeological form equation, fbt, is defined as the likelihood of an advanced technological civilization arising on one of these habitable planets.

    The results suggest that humankind is only likely to be unique if the odds of another civilization developing on a habitable world are less than one in 1022.

    That’s a very—some might say improbably—small number.

    “To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology producing species very likely have evolved before us,” says Frank. “Think of it this way: before our result you’d be considered a pessimist if you imagined the probability of evolving a civilization on a habitable planet were, say, one in a trillion. But even that guess, one chance in a trillion, implies that what has happened here on Earth with humanity has in fact happened about 10 billion other times over cosmic history!”

    A White Mars: The Red Planet Is Just Emerging From Its Last Ice Age

     
    NASA
    IN BRIEF

    A new study finds that Mars just exited its last ice age, which blanketed much of its surface with snow and ice. This leaves us with much water for terraforming the planet.

    THE ICE OF AGES PAST

    While not many people know a great deal about the solar system, most know what color each planet is. Earth is blue, so are Uranus and Neptune. Saturn is yellow. Jupiter is a mix of yellow and orange. While Mercury and Venus are burnt yellow. And Mars is red. That’s one of the first things we knew about Mars, that it is the red planet.

    But what if it wasn’t always that way?

    Astronomers from the US have discovered that, just a few hundred thousand years ago, Mars would have been blanketed in the pure white of snow. That’s because it just got out of a particularly extreme ice age.

    NASA
    NASA

    In the study published in Science, the team used cameras and a radar-pinging device on board NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to look into the layers of snow and ice packed onto the Red Planet’s northern pole. They found out that its last ice age wouldn’t have been more than 370,000 years ago.

    When Earth’s scientists want to turn back the clock and look at our planet’s ancient climate, they take long, tubular ice cores and study the particles locked into the ice of the poles. Here, they did something similar. They used NASA’s Shallow Subsurface Radar to look at (and beneath) Mars’ ice caps—about 2 km deep, to be precise.

    UNLOCKING POTENTIALS

    The Red Planet’s ice ages come from its peculiar orbit: Its spin variation of about 60 degrees (compared to Earth’s 2 degrees), and an orbit that can bring it up to 12 percent away from the Sun. What they saw was that Mars is actually in a lull between ice ages. The next one is expected to come around 150,000 years in the future.

    Which gives us plenty of time to “unlock” Mars’ potentials. Terraforming is predicated on our ability to release its gases and liquids into the atmosphere, and the radar mapping of the poles reveals a lot of H2O and CO2 trapped there.

    Clinton Plays the “UFO” Card and Snags the ‘Alien’-ated Crowd

    clinton ufo promise

    For those who are not yet current on the UFO phenomenon—get ready—but also for the rest of us, for whom these infuriating delays are like, testing our mettle.

    Seriously, how can we like, take any politician seriously who actually uses “like” this way? Maybe WE could have, like, a task force and throw you in jail like we should have done years ago.

    Unless you live under a mossy rock, you like, had to know this campaign promise was coming! How could it not after the witty late-night television repartees? And, like nearly all campaign promises in America, it, too would get swept into the ditch and wind up in the sewer drain—IF—Clinton were elected. But she won’t be.

    Even with Holder’s campaign fund raiser (see that story below) the criminals cannot pull this off. They’re thick as thieves and protect and support each other—which will make it that much easier to round them up.

    The email security issue aside—Benghazi, the blatant lies, the money laundering, the pedophilia, the murders… The FBI like, HAS to indict Clinton, and if they don’t—there will be some serious repercussions in America.

    Americans not only have guns, they like, know how to use them, and we don’t want to go there. We had better hope destiny unfolds in favour of The People and set a powerful intention for a peaceful transition.  ~ BP


    Hillary Kimmel

    With vows to open files, Clinton pulls in UFO vote

    When Jimmy Kimmel asked Hillary Clinton in a late-night TV interview about UFOs, she quickly corrected his terminology.

    “You know, there’s a new name,” Clinton said in the March appearance. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon,” she said. “UAP. That’s the latest nomenclature.”

    Known for her grasp of policy, Clinton has spoken at length in her presidential campaign on topics ranging from Alzheimer’s research to military tensions in the South China Sea. But it is her unusual knowledge about extraterrestrials that has struck a small but committed cohort of voters.Clinton has vowed that barring any threats to national security, she would open up government files on the subject, a shift from President Barack Obama, who typically dismisses the topic as a joke. Her position has elated UFO enthusiasts, who have declared Clinton the first “E.T. candidate.”

    “Hillary has embraced this issue with an absolutely unprecedented level of interest in American politics,” said Joseph G. Buchman, who has spent decades calling for more transparency in government about extraterrestrials.

    Clinton, a cautious candidate who often bemoans being the subject of Republican conspiracy theories, has shown surprising ease plunging into the discussion of the possibility of extraterrestrial beings.

    She has said in recent interviews that as president she would release information about Area 51, the remote Air Force base in Nevada believed by some to be a secret hub where the government stores classified information about aliens and UFOs.

    When asked about extraterrestrials in an interview with The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire late last year, Clinton promised to “get to the bottom of it.”

    “I think we may have been” visited already, she said in the interview. “We don’t know for sure.”

    While Americans typically point to issues like the economy and terrorism as top priorities for the next president, a desire for answers about aliens has inspired a passionate bloc of voters, who make their voices heard on social media.

    Stephen Bassett, who lobbies the government on extraterrestrial issues, views a Clinton presidency as a chance to finally get the United States to disclose all it knows about life beyond Earth. Since November 2014, Bassett’s organization has sent roughly 2.5 million Twitter messages to presidential candidates, elected officials and the media urging a serious discussion of the issue.

    “That was a storm and now it’s like a steady drip,” Bassett said.

    The movement viewed Clinton’s decision to correct Kimmel’s use of the term UFO, which some view as loaded and more rooted in science fiction rather than in science, in particular, as a breakthrough because it “suggested she’d been briefed by someone and is not just being flippant,” Buchman said.

    In fact, Clinton had been briefed. She was prepped by her campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, who is not only a well-respected Washington hand, having served as a top adviser to Obama and President Bill Clinton, but is also a crusader for disclosure of government information on unexplained phenomena that could prove the existence of intelligent life outside Earth.

    “The time to pull back the curtain on the topic is long overdue,” Podesta wrote in his foreword for the 2010 book “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record” by Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist.

    Hillary Clinton’s position is not a political response to public sentiment — 63 percent of Americans do not believe in UFOs, according to an Associated Press poll. But it reflects the decades of overlap between the rise to power of Bill and Hillary Clinton and popular culture’s obsession with the universe’s most mysterious questions.

    In 1996, Hillary Clinton was ridiculed after Bob Woodward reported, in his book “The Choice,” that as first lady she had held discussions with her deceased role models, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mohandas K. Gandhi. The offbeat tabloid Weekly World News dreamed up sensational headlines about Hillary Clinton adopting an alien baby and having a “UFO love nest.”

    Bill Clinton’s presidency also coincided with the hit television series “The X-Files” and movies like “Independence Day,” which gave way to an era of fascination with the existence of aliens and the possibility of a government cover-up.

    John Podesta

    John Podesta

    Podesta, an “X-Files” fanatic, ran a fan club for the show in the Clinton White House. “The X-Files fan club would like to invite you and Mulder to lunch at the White House. Don’t let the boss know,” he wrote in a 1998 email, referring to the show’s fictional FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, according to White House documents. In 1999, Podesta had an “X-Files”-themed 50th birthday party that the Clintons attended.

    When Podesta left the White House last year, before joining Hillary Clinton’s campaign, he posted on Twitter: “Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #thetruthisstilloutthere.”

    Podesta declined to comment for this article.

    Clinton, who speaks frequently about her childhood aspirations to be a NASA astronaut, has been sympathetic to Podesta’s efforts.

    In 1995, when she was photographed visiting Laurance S. Rockefeller, the billionaire philanthropist, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, she had tucked under her arm a copy of “Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life” by Paul Davies.

    Before that meeting, John H. Gibbons, former director of the White House Office’s of Science and Technology Policy, had warned Clinton about Rockefeller, who had spent years pressuring the government to release files relating to a 1947 crash at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico, that had become the source of theories about a cover-up of an alien spaceship. He will “want to talk to you about his interest in extrasensory perception, paranormal phenomena and UFOs,” Gibbons wrote.

    The meeting enthralled conspiracy theorists and, in turn, inspired Hollywood writers.

    “If you look at our mythology, there are elements of those kinds of meetings,” said Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of “The X Files,” said in an interview. Carter, who is supporting Clinton, added, “If I have to become a fundraiser to get an invite to her opening up the files, I’ll do it.”

    When Clinton started to talk openly about UFOs and government disclosure in her 2016 campaign, some activists traced the remarks back to the 1995 meeting with Rockefeller.

    To this subset of Americans who say the government is covering up what it knows about aliens, and who are incredibly vocal on social media, Clinton’s discussion of extraterrestrials signaled an important turn.

    Other activists do not care as much about Clinton’s vow to “open the files,” but do want prominent politicians to seriously acknowledge that humans may not be the only intelligent life in the universe. A major victory, some say, would be for the candidates to be asked about the topic in a presidential debate.

    “It shouldn’t be a source of embarrassment to discuss it,” said Christopher Mellon, a former intelligence official at the Defense Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee.

    “We should be humble in terms of recognizing the extreme limits of our own understanding of physics and the universe.”

    Astronomers just picked up a hydrogen signal from this galaxy 5 billion light-years away

    Amazing!

    PETER DOCKRILL

    Scientists have broken a new astronomical record, detecting the faint signal of hydrogen in an extremely distant galaxy located some 5 billion light-years away.

    The team made the find using the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico, which just had a substantial upgrade to the antennae, allowing them to pick up on hydrogen signals from almost double the distance of the previous record.

    "Due to the upgrade of the Very Large Array, this is the first time we've been able to directly measure atomic hydrogen in a galaxy this far from Earth," said one of the researchers, Ximena Fernandez from Rutgers University in New Jersey. "These signals would have begun their journey before our planet even existed, and after 5 billion years of travelling through space without hitting anything, they've fallen into the telescope and allowed us to see this distant galaxy for the very first time."

    The researchers say the galaxy would once have contained billions of young, massive stars, created from the fuel of surrounding neutral hydrogen (HI) gas.

    "Hydrogen is the basic element in the universe. That's where everything had to start," astronomer Attila Popping from the University of Western Australia told Garrett Mundy at the ABC. "It's the first building block of gas and stars and galaxies. So with the survey we tried to understand the evolution of HI. How it evolves over time."

    The team says the ability to peer so far across the Universe – and so far back in time as a result – is crucial to learning more about galaxy formation, and finding how the process has changed across galaxies over billions of years.

    "This is precisely the goal of the project, to study how gas in galaxies has changed through history," said Fernandez. "A question we hope to answer is whether galaxies in the past had more gas being turned into stars than galaxies today. Our record-breaking find is a galaxy with an unusually large amount of hydrogen."

    But the snapshot the researchers have taken – seen in a composite image above, along with an artist's impression underneath it – is not the way the galaxy would look like now, with billions of years of stellar activity likely to have radically altered the composition of the star system.

    "The hydrogen has probably been turned into stars," Popping told the ABC. "It's been eaten by the galaxy and become a supernova explosion and expelled again. The gas itself is probably in a different state now than as we can see it."

    The findings are reported in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

    Was J. Allen Hynek Secretly Involved in U.S. Air Force Misinformation?

    As far as the scientific study of unidentified flying objects in the 20th century goes, few names would stand out in the minds of UFO researchers, past and present, like that of J. Allen Hynek.

    Hynek served as the official scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force and its UFO study program, Project Blue Book, throughout the 1950s and 60s. Later, with the formation of the Center for UFO Studies, Hynek would go on to become one of the leading proponents of the idea that the UFO mystery represents a real and valid phenomenon, capable of scientific study, and the possible rewards that might result from such studies.

    With his salutary place in the history of UFO research, it was of little surprise that while reviewing a copy of Greg Bishop’s new book, It Defies Language: Essays on UFOs and Other WeirdnessHynek’s name came up early in the book, in a section where the author was discussing the sad affair that involved Paul Bennewitz in the 1980s (this, of course, is a subject Greg Bishop knows all too well, having written a fine book on the subject called Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth). 

    However, what Greg had to say was indeed rather disturbing, rather than presenting the usual kind of “sunny” perspectives on the life of one of the most visible UFOlogists of the last century.

    Greg writes:

    In 1980, Paul Bennewitz was trying to figure out what he was hearing on his home–built radio receiver, with its antenna array pointed at the Kirkland Air Force Base and the NSA’s coded microburst tests. With his knowledge of electronics, he was just beginning to figure out what was zipping into his DIY master control maze, which it almost filled his den and was starting to spill into the bedroom. His home-built computers and software were reeling off a frightening array of alien transmissions. Because of his special relationship with the Air Force, he told them what he was picking up, and what he thought it was.

    The story Greg begins to outline here is a pretty familiar one in UFO circles, having been previously outlined in the aforementioned Project Beta. The short version of the story here is that the Air Force got antsy about what Bennewitz had managed to uncover, but rather than spilling the beans and warning him that this was classified information, a dodgy misinformation campaign began against Bennewitz, with the objective of scrambling the information so that, rather than hiding it altogether, Bennewitz would continue to obtain new data, and with the help of the Air Force, misinterpret it horribly.

    Greg continues:

    To this and, an unnamed computer scientist was hired to write a program specifically for Bennewitz. Instead of words like “telemetry,” “range,” and “target,” others were substituted. The same signals would now spit out things like “aliens,” “Home planet,” and “death ray.” Now, the whole thing needed to be delivered to Bennewitz’s doorstep.”

    This is where things get really strange, however. In 1982, UFO researcher Bill Moore would be in attendance at a MUFON annual symposium, the same year J. Allen Hynek of the Center for UFO Studies had been there lecturing. According to Bishop, Moore told him that while talking with Hynek over drinks at the bar that year, Hynek admitted to having presented the “bogus” computer setup to Bennewitz, describing it as one of the last “official” actions he carried out during his tenure with the USAF.

    This is unsettling data, to say the least, and it suggests a number of things about Hynek and his work. These range from Hynek apparently being complicit with one of the most infamous and well-known Air Force misinformation campaigns against the UFO community, as well as questions raised in relation to just how much official work he may have continued to carry out for the U.S. government after his tenure with the Air Force.

    “If true,” Greg notes of the incident, “this throws new light on the sort of dealings that some major ufologists may go through in order to keep a line of communication (however tainted) open to authorities who can push the right buttons and make the right calls when they are needed.”

    And in hindsight, maybe it bolsters some of the suspicions many in the UFO community have had over the years, especially as it pertains to the long-held concern that those in government — no matter how benign their individual intentions — may nonetheless serve as some part of a broader apparatus that does not want the public to know the full truth about UFOs.
