This is a very interesting post by UFO news site Inexplicata that is located in Mexico. The UFO resembles a cross between a triangle and a disk. Triangle on the bottom, but domed on the top. 

Its also possible that black ops organizations are operating US gov test flights of alien tech in US hands. The US often conducts test flights over other countries, to take away any suspicion that its a US military craft. The US did that with Project Aurora over the UK back in the 1980s-1990s.

How Can Earth Repel Alien Invaders? With Nukes, Combat Satellites, or Not at All

How might humans defend Earth from hostile aliens? You have to think big. Real big.

Neel V. Patel

In the upcoming sequel to the 1996 summer blockbuster Independence Day, a massive alien force comes to Earth to avenge losses sustained at Will Smith’s hand 20 years earlier. Aware that this might happen, the planet has spent the previous two decades preparing: creating Earth Space Defense, an international defense program and warning system with bases on the moon, Mars, and Saturn’s moon Rhea, and a lot of laser guns built using repurposed alien technology. The whole thing looks very Hollywood high budget, but, in reality, it represents a paltry effort.

Defending Earth from alien invaders will require a lot more than some outposts and a Hemsworth brother. Still, even that’s better than what we’ve got. As it stands, we possess neither of the two things we’d need to repel an extraterrestrial attack: a system to find and assess alien threats and a means to destroy incoming ships. We’re way closer on the former than the latter.

Believe it or not, planetary defense is a real part of space research and exploration — albeit in terms of protecting the planet against natural threats, like asteroids, comets, surprise solar flares, etc. For NASA, other space agencies around the world, and private companies, planetary defense is basically limited to a discussion of asteroid impact avoidance and deflection, and the development of technologies that allow us to track near-Earth objects that might pose a threat should their travel path ever line up with ours. To that end, NASA has been bolstering its efforts to improve instruments designed to track such rocks zipping through the solar system — most notably through the recent opening of thePlanetary Defense Coordination Office, to better study and characterize different near-Earth asteroids and comets and predict their orbits around the sun in relation to Earth.

Tracking technologies, like the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer space telescope, would let us know if an alien battalion were en route to Earth long before it reached the planet — provided the aliens were in a pretty big ship and traveling slow enough to give us time to parse the patterns. The issue with WISE, from a strategic defense perspective, is just how easy it would be for aliens to destroy. It is a scientific instrument and, as such, not designed to be combat ready.

Unfortunately, we still have no actual way of engaging with an object that’s on a crash course for pale blue dot. Under the asteroid-focused planetary defense model, NASA is actually supporting a few off-the-wall projects with a bit of R&D funding, such as the gravity tractor. But this isn’t technology we could use to actually defend ourselves against creatures with superior ships. The only technology we have that can really do that is nuclear bombs.

Whether our lives are threatened by an asteroid or extraterrestrials, bombs are likely the best answer we’ve got. If it comes down to saving humanity, you better believe we’ll be launching nukes straight up.

Of course, this is easier said than done. The problem, as the aforementioned movies each discussed, is that you cant simply launch a nuke or 12 straight into an asteroid theyll barely make a dent into the rock, and will hardly affect the trajectory of the damn thing. When it comes to alien invasion, we might have better luck, since a spaceship would need to slow down upon approaching the planet to ensure its safety. At deceased speeds and with a structure that would presumably facilitate interstellar travel (i.e. made to be lightweight with a relatively hollow interior), an alien ship would be a lot more vulnerable to damage by nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately, if an alien civilization is capable of waging wars light-years away from its home, it’s probably already found a way to mitigate or even totally offset damage by a conventional bombs. We’d have to find a way to crack are way in an blow the ship up from the inside.

Meet the Hypervelocity Asteroid Intercept Vehicle, or HAIV: a seemingly conventional spacecraft carrying a nuclear explosive device capable of blowing an object up from the inside out. HAIV is basically two main components — a “kinetic impactor” that bores a hole into the object and creates a hollow path behind it, and an encasement for the nuke.

A diagram describing how HAIV works.

The genius behind HAIV, aeronautics engineer Bong Wie of Iowa State University, conceived of HAIV as a potential way to defend Earth against asteroid threats. Wie, who is also director the university’s Asteroid Defection Research Center, says his projectile, which would be between 1000 to 2000 kilograms in mass and move at about 5 kilometers per second, contains enough kinetic energy to create a hole or crater about 10 meters deep and 20 meters wide in an oncoming asteroid. The nuclear device would go into that crater behind the spacecraft and, boom goes the dynamite.

If we have at least 5-year warning time, Wie says, mankind will be able to prep a HAIV mission. A nuclear explosion will then occur in space far outside the lunar distance. “Less than 0.1% of resulting fragments would enter Earth’s atmosphere.”

The reason we would need to design and build HAIV from scratch after we know an asteroid is on its way is because you need to cater the whole thing to destroy the asteroid as optimally as possible. For an asteroid with a diameter of 300 meters, the best kind of nuclear device would probably weigh about 1000 kilograms. A larger meteor will need something bigger; smaller rocks could be crushed with smaller bombs.

Wie and his colleagues were previously awarded two phases of funding through the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. “This concept is now further being investigated by a team of researchers from NASA and the national defense laboratories for a possible flight demonstration in the near future,” he says. “However, all previous studies of HAIV were based on conceptual and computational research. No experimental validation or testing of the HAIV concept has been performed yet.

Wie has never explained whether the HAIV might be a useful system to protect us from aliens, but he has said that the use of nuclear devices is the most cost-effective option for mitigating impact threat.

Wie is loathe to speculate on the potential weaponization of his technology. But this is not a trait universal to space scientists. Igor Ashurbeyli is actively planning to repel an attack. The chairman of the Moscow-based International Expert Society on Space Threat Defense, Ashurbeyli told the audience at the 4th Manfred Lachs International Conference on Conflicts in Space and the Rule of Law, that he was prepping a proposal for an armed, unmanned space platform dedicated to monitoring activity in space and on the Earth and capable of directly neutralizing both.

Artist's rendition of URBOCOP

His concept is called the Universal Robotic Battle Cosmic Platform, or URBOCOP. Exactly what it would look like is hard to say, but Ashurbeyli says URBOCOP would essentially be an autonomously-run system — “free from human bias” — that could identify a variety of threats in advance and defend the planet from them. He lists solar flares, changes to Earth’s magnetosphere, asteroids and comets, man-made space debris, unforeseen effects of climate change, cosmic rays, biological threats from other parts of space — all as potential space threats. This situation reminds one of Russian roulette, he told the audience. “Only with rocks, huge pieces of metal, solar energy and other surprises, acting as bullets and putting all of humanity at fatal risk.”

In addition, Ashurbeyli also thinks URBOCOP could work to defend the Earth against intelligent extraterrestrials, or even man-made threats here on the surface. Imagine two countries warring against one-another and launching missiles back and forth. URBOCOP could very easily strike to shut those launches down before those weapons even get into the air.

All of that raises an enormous number of questions. What kind of A.I. system would be used to make sure URBOCOP doesn’t turn against us or mistakenly destroy civilian equipment or structures? What will this thing look like? If Wie is right and nukes are really the only thing that will protect us from large asteroids, are we prepared to store nukes on a space platform floating in orbit?

Ashurbeyli didnt answer those questions, or even really outline how URBOCOP would work. That’s all being detailed in a presentation later this year. But he’s striving hard to make discussions of planetary defense technologies move from the outer rim of the scientific community, and closer to the mainstream.

There are few reasons to think hes being foolish in this regard. Even if the chances of Earth being attacked by aliens is next to nothing, space is a pretty volatile place. You never know what strange shit the sun will spew on a whim; what weird comet or asteroid will appear out of nowhere and make its way towards our neighborhood; and so forth. And its reality, we seem to already possess the tools we need to pick up on dangers, and strike at them. Its just a matter of refining them and putting them towards ensuring Earth stays a safe place to live — seeing how its the only planet we have so far.

It’s been twenty long years since the War of 1996 and the world is slowly rebuilding from the intergalactic pummeling it received from an alien mothership and its 36 City Destroyers. In that time, mankind has applied alien technology to not only weaponry and vehicles, but to appliances as well, creating bladeless fans and touchscreen smartphones. The man tasked with building it all: Jeff Goldblum.

This is the premise of Independence Day: Resurgence — well, part of it anyway — which comes out Friday. In the trailer, president Elizabeth Lanford announces that “we have found the technology to build a stronger and safer Earth” but after a few bwaahh bwaahhs the audience realizes that might not be totally true. What we’ve found is alien technology better than our own. And we’ve reverse engineered it.

The idea that humans would build their own technology from the leftovers of aliens isn’t just something that sprang from the minds of Resurgencescreenwriters Roland Emmerich, Dean Devlin, and Carter Blanchard. Humans have longed assumed advanced technologies (a relative term if ever there was one) were the products of some sort of intergalactic intervention. These conspiracy theories break down into three basic types.

Aliens as the Source of All Technology

The Antikythera mechanism was discovered in 1901.

The 1984 conspiracy bestseller Chariot of the Gods popularized (with “hard scientific facts!”) the idea that ancient civilization landmarks like the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Nazca lines in Peru were actually alien-built structures and landing sites. This line of semi-reasoning proved popular because these spots are hard to understand products of ancient engineer. They are not the only ones. The Antikythera mechanism, a device believed to be an astronomical clock, was built by ancient Greeks. Naturally, people have theorized that it was actually created by an advanced (but apparently not too advanced) alien species.

Considered by scientists as the most technologically sophisticated artifact to exist from antiquity, accredited researchers believe the purpose of the device was to tell the user when lunar and solar eclipses would occur and to track the timing of the Olympic games. The authors behind the theancientaliens.com don’t buy it:

“While many experts try to offer explanations for how this device could have been conceived, designed, and built, all of their concepts fail the tests of logic. There is only one possible explanation. Beings with advanced knowledge of astronomical bodies, mathematics, and precision engineering tools created the device or gave the knowledge for its creation to someone during the first century B.C.”

To which the researchers behind the Antikythera Mechanism Research Projectworking with the mechanism say: “No, by the same argument that it is not evidence of time travel. It fits within a long tradition of astronomical, mechanical, or general scientific development.”

Aliens as the Source of New Materials

Once you dive into the world of alien conspiracy theories, a name that comes up again and again is Philip Schneider. Known as a UFO whistleblower, Schneider claimed to be geologist and structural engineer once employed by the United States government. Before his death under mysterious circumstances in 1996, Schneider embarked on a series of lectures around America to discuss what he claimed to be the longstanding relationship between the U.S. government and aliens. The point of the relationship? Exchanging new tech.

In this undated video, Schneider is giving one of these lectures. At about three minutes in, he explains that he is going to explain “different alien metals that have been produced both in the confines of this planet and in outer-space and are now used in all stealth aircraft.”

Schnieder says that the metal is made of two elements: niobium, which is on theperiodic table, and marinite — an alien element. This metal, he says, comes from alien technology.

Robert Lazarus, who told the media in 1989 that he had been part of a secret military operation that worked on alien technology also claimed he had encountered an alien material: Element 115. Lazarus claimed that this substance allowed aliens to amplify gravity waves, allowing them to fly their spacecrafts. Related: No record of Lazarus’ employment has been found and CalTech and MIT, which he claims to have attended, do not have any record of his admission.

Aliens as the Source of Modern Inventions

This category is the broadest and the most frequently cited: The idea that we’re surrounded by technology that was manufactured from alien tech. Sometimes people say this is stuff that we’ve mistakenly interpreted as normal (like circuit boards and microchips) and other times this refers to tech that has been kept from the public.

In 2002 British hacker Gary McKinnon was arrested by the United Kingdom’s national high-tech crime unit after allegedly conducting an extensive search into the computer networks of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Defense, and NASA. He told the BBC in 2006 that he was looking for evidence of suppressed alien technology— and found it. Here’s an excerpt of that conversation:

SK: Did you find what you were looking for?

GM: Yes.

SK: Tell us about it.

GM: There was a group called the Disclosure Project. They published a book which had 400 expert witnesses ranging from civilian air traffic controllers, through military radar operators, right up to the chaps who were responsible for whether or not to launch nuclear missiles.

They are some very credible, relied upon people, all saying yes, there is UFO technology, there’s anti-gravity, there’s free energy, and it’s extra-terrestrial in origin, and we’ve captured spacecraft and reverse-engineered it.

McKinnon also claimed that he came across NASA communication in which photographic experts said that they “regularly airbrushed out images of UFOs” from images taken from high-resolution satellites. McKinnon’s claims are in line with those of Lazarus who, before he decided to step away from the alien conspiracy game, said that the U.S. military relied upon alien technology to built their own crafts.

The Technologies Aliens Wouldn’t Give Us

In 2013 Canadian ex-Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer told Russia Today that not only is much of the technology we used alien-based, but that they would give usmore technology if we weren’t such assholes. If humankind “[would go about it peacefully](http://www.cnet.com/news/canadas-ex-defense-minister-aliens-would-give-us-more-tech-if-wed-stop-wars/]” they would share the splendor of their tech: Dropping the atom bomb, apparently, was a big sign to extraterrestrials that we’re too sketchy to handle any more gifts.

One piece of tech believers think aliens are holding back from us: Clean energy. Scientists have thrown out the idea that the star KIC 8462853 is surrounded by a Dyson sphere — a hypothetical megastructure that can capture a star’s power output.

The inverse of the aliens-holding-back-tech theory is that they haven’t visited us — but if they did, they would be such super-environmentalists that they would want to destroy us immediately. I’m not sure which idea is more comforting.

INDIA will be the first country to explain to the world about ALIENS CONTACTS?

New Delhi is in the middle of a big secret internal debate. On one side the largest democracy of the world is eager to explain to its citizens and to the world about the ongoing contacts with the UFOs and extraterrestrials. On the other hand there are invisible untold international protocols that prohibit doing anything that may cause worldwide fear and panic.

It is well accepted between the UFO and extra-terrestrial experts that all the five nuclear powers are in contact with the beings from other stars for quite some time. Recently India has seen enormous news on UFO contacts and secret UFO bases in Himalayas near the Chinese bases. In Ladak, for example the locals clearly point out the everyday phenomenon of large triangular spacecrafts coming out below the ground and Indian security forces protecting them.

Military officials and politicians have confessed the fact that India has been contacted. India has been told the rules of the Universe.

The current debate is on whether to keep it secret like other countries are doing or in tradition of a total transparent society come out and tell the truth. India is so open and democratic; it is very difficult to keep a secret for long. The biggest concern of the Government today is that unlike in other countries, it will be very difficult to keep it secret for long. If the information comes out through unofficial channels first and then the authorities are pressed against the wall to confess, two bad things can happen. First, it can really cause a panic in the country as well as the world. Second, the way the Indian politics is run, the ruling party will be thrown out of power in no time i it is ever found that the Government withheld such information from the public.

The recent rush of world leaders to India is remarkable. Starting from Russian President Putin to major Senators from America have visited or are planning to visit India. European Union is in deep discussion with India on cooperation. All sanctions against India’s nuclear programs and Indian Space Research Organization are in the process of being lifted. India is cooperating with Europeans and the Americans in space explorations and technology research program. India is also part of World Trade Organization. India is receiving major outsourcing contracts in IT and call-center service work from America and Europe. India’s Forex reserve is at a level never imagined before because of international direct investments from Western nations, Japan, Korea and others. Interestingly, China the arc rival of India changed its posture in the last few years to make India’s friendship and trade a priority. India is slowly getting to the point when it is accepted as a permanent member of the Security Council. All the five Security Council members China, America, Russia, France and UK support India’s inclusion.

When all these factors are added together and analyzed, it seems like India is being told by the world to abide by the hidden protocols and in exchange be recognized as a major emerging superpower.

The debate the country is facing internally is whether to abide by the laws of the world and the Universe to be recognized as a superpower or be truthful to its citizens and the world.

According to sources close to the Government, the UFO contacts is known by quite a few politicians in the opposition and of course by those who are in power.

The military has legitimate concern of not letting the secrets out either.

Recently, India’s foreign affairs minister Mr. Natwar Singh came out and said that for India it was not necessary to become a nuclear power. He is a strong supporter of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, India’s former Prime Minister who initiated the nuclear program in the mid sixties. India first exploded a nuclear device in Pokhran in early seventies. The whole country including people from his own party questioned Mr. Singh for such an irresponsible statement. But on analyzing his statements, it is evident, that based on what he knows now, being a nuclear power really does not matter much because the technologies controlled by the extra-terrestrials are so advanced that all our technologies mean really nothing. But importantly he may be irritated with this controversial ongoing secret debate and what he really meant was that if India was not a nuclear power, the debate on UFO and extra-terrestrials will never be there in India.

The First X-Files: How Britain Investigated UFOs During World War I

Did the Red Baron really shoot down a flying saucer over the battlefields of World War I – and did an ‘Angel’ really save the lives of British troops?

Bizarrely, a team of British intelligence officers were assigned to investigate weird sightings in the skies in World War I – becoming the precursor of UFO investigators both real and fictional.

Most of us think of UFOs and mysterious sightings in the sky as a modern phenomenon – but ‘phantom airships’ became a huge panic in the early years of the Twentieth century, and regularly featured in newspapers.

By the time of World War I, a more scientific approach was needed.

A predecessor to MI5 – Military Observation Department Five (MO5), under the control of Lieutenant Colonel Kell – was assigned the task of classifying sightings in the air.

Amid panic about enemy airships, it was a military necessity to weed out ‘phantom airships’ from real aircraft sightings.

Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of the First World War says, ‘It can be regarded as the first ever official guide to studying UFO reports long before the CIA or any other organisation got with the subject when ‘flying saucer’ sightings were all the rage after WWII.

‘During WW! there were numerous reports of mysterious lights and objects moving about in the skies. These were studied by the Assistant Director of Military Aeronautics, a post held by Lieutenant Colonel W.S. Brancker; the department of Military Training; and by the Brancker and Kell can be regarded as the first Mulder and Scully who studied the flow of UFO-type reports that flowed into their offices.’

Lights in the sky

The reports sent to Brancker and Kell sound eerily like today’s UFO sightings – and came amid widespread panic not only about enemy airships but also more mysterious sightings.

A 1914 telegram from the Chief Constable of Lancashire said, ‘Large red light seen at 8.45pm today passing over Runcorn Bridge Arches. Immediately afterwards, an explosion was heard in Widnes and Runcorn.

The guidelines set out by the war office helped officers of MO5 categorise sightings as of natural origin – or as something more mysterious.

Flying saucers

Various legends about extraterrestrials have circulated about World War I – of which the most astonishing (and implausible) is that German fighter ace the Red Baron shot down a UFO.

Fellow pilots claimed, after the war, that Baron Manfred von Richtofen shot down a flying saucer type craft – from which two inhabitants fled.

Fellow German pilot Peter Waitzrick said that the fighters saw an aircraft like an upside down saucer, ‘We were terrified because we’d never seen anything like it before. The Baron immediately opened fire and the thing went down like a rock, shearing off tree limbs as it crashed into the woods.

‘There’s no doubt in my mind that the Baron shot down some kind of spacecraft from another planet and those little guys who ran off into the woods were space aliens of some kind.

The story is highly dubious, however – given that Waitzrick didn’t share his story until 80 years after the event, and chose to do so in the U.S. tabloid Weekly World News.

The disappearing soldiers

UFO fans claim that aliens may have ‘abducted’ people from the battlefields of World War I – with a claim of hundreds of men ‘vanishing’ into a cloud during the Gallipoli campaign.

Witnesses claimed to have seen British soldiers marching towards Hill 60 at Sulva Bay in Turkey on August 21, 1915 – before being snatched up by a ‘solid-looking’ cloud.

A statement from a supposed eye-witness published in 1965, said, ‘When they arrived at this cloud they marched straight into it with no hesitation, but no one ever came out to fight. About an hour later this cloud very unobtrusively lifted off the ground until it joined other similar clouds, then they all moved away northwards.’

But it seems likely that this is a hoax. Documents released after the Armistice suggest that 180 bodies found behind enemy lines are those of the ‘missing soldiers’ – and the story of the cloud is a myth.

The ‘Angel’ of Mons

An ‘Angel’ which many British soldiers credited with saving their lives in one of the first, brutal battles of World War I has been seized on by UFO fans as evidence of extraterrestrials…

Many soldiers credited the strange apparitions with saving their lives – and the story became a staple of parish magazines.

The battle had been one of the first in which the British faced the Germans – and despite retreating, only 1,600 lives were lost.

Decades later, debate rages still – some attributing the ‘Angel’ to a short story from the Evening Standard, others to British intelligence.

The popular author, Arthur Machen claimed that this legend was created by his fictional ‘The Bowmen’ story published in The Evening News, 29 September 1914.

In it, British soldiers call on St George for aid, and are helped by ghostly bowmen from the Battle of Agincourt. One fact that lends weight to this theory is that few reports of the incident exist before Machen’s story.

Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of World War 1 says, ‘Even today the legend is swathed in controversy. Theories about it range from it being a myth based on Machen’s story, the product of hallucinations due to stress and exhaustion, real angelic visitations, ghosts, swamp gas, airships or alien UFOs projecting or shaping themselves to the expectations of the witnesses.’

The Vimana, flying machines from ancient India

What are the Vimana? Are they ancient flying machines? We have been told that the Wright brothers were the first to fly in 1903. Was it the Wright brothers who managed to turn dream into reality? Or is it possible that the dream of flight, was something present in ancient India, thousands of years ago? Today, Vimana is the name attributed to a flying machine used by the gods of ancient India. The earliest accounts of this amazing civilization are written in Sanskrit thousands of years ago, where different types of Vimanas are referred to. These strange flying machines were used in incredible battles, battles resembling modern-day jet panes engaging into action, but only hundreds of years before Christ. In the Mahabharata, these incredible battles are described. The Vimanas are mentioned forty-one times with sophisticated combat weapons that shoot beams of light.

The ancient texts refer to King Salva attacks against the city of Dwaraka, where the God Krishna lived. Salva leads a flying Vimana called Saubha that has the power to become invisible. Krishna returns the attack with lightning that locates and destroys his enemies through sound.

The Ramayana also makes reference to incredible flying machines, telling the adventures of Princess Sita, kidnapped by the evil Ravana, where a Vimana called Puspaka is mentioned.

According to Dr. V. Raghavan, former professor of Sanskrit at the University of Madras, there are countless documents in Sanskrit, dating back thousands of years, that proved that extraterrestrial beings were in ancient India thousands of years ago. There extraterrestrial visitors were referred to as Gods. And these gods had numerous weapons and technologies that were interpreted by ancient people as heavenly.

But not only due to ancient text have the aerodynamic qualities of these Vimana but there are also texts that talk about how these flying machines can be built. The Ramayana indicates that 16 types of metals are needed to build a Vimana, here on Earth we only have three of the metals mentioned in the sacred texts.

According to researchers, these ancient texts also refer to incredible technologies like anti gravity. Dr. Ruth Reyna of the University of Chandrigarh managed to translate some of the texts written in Sanskrit that make reference to “anti-gravitational” forces. Technology that the Yogis developed to “levitate”. According to research, the same anti-gravitational force is what allowed the Vimana to move freely through space.

The Vimana are mentioned in several other texts, apart from Hindu mythology, indicating that these flying machines of the gods were a possibility thousands of years ago. Doctor Raghavan says that the technology was brought by beings from other planets thousands of years ago at a time when the Anunnaki lived among people and the Sumerian culture flushed in ancient Mesopotamia. 

Many Ufologists believe that the Vimana are what we today refer to as “flying saucers”. These mysterious vehicles are piloted by otherworldly beings and we can find proof of them in ancient texts across the globe, like the Sanskrit where the flying machines are mentioned in detail. Researchers believe that there are many other texts that have not been translated yet, and hold important details regarding otherworldly visitations and their technology thousands of years ago.

“Those who came from above” is, in Sumerian language, Anunnaki. Ancient Astronaut theorists believe that the Anunnaki showed the Sumerians, then the Babylonians, how to build and manage these sophisticated machines. Some believe this knowledge extended all the way to ancient India pointing towards the iconography of some Hindu gods and some mythological accounts as being evidence of a possible connection to the ancient Anunnaki.

And if ancient texts don’t convince you about ancient flying machines, then check out the incredible similarities between NASA’s new Orion capsule and the ancient Indian Vimanas.

Below, the image of the Orion Capsule.

“Prins Charles gefascineerd door graancirkels”

Oscar-winnaar Mark Rylance is naar eigen zeggen de ‘graancirkel-adviseur’ van prins Charles. Rylance, die te zien is in de nieuwe sprookjesfilm The BFG van Steven Spielberg, zei dat hij net als de prins van Wales gefascineerd is door graancirkels. Het tweetal zou regelmatig brieven met elkaar uitwisselen over het fenomeen.

“Hij is ook geïnteresseerd in graancirkels,” zei Rylance. “Ik stuur hem mijn kalenders en tijdschriften om hem op de hoogte te houden. Ik ben zijn graancirkel-adviseur.”

Afgeblazen

Prins Charles

De prins gaf in 1991 al te kennen geïnteresseerd te zijn in graancirkels, toen er een aantal graancirkelformaties waren verschenen in het zuiden van Engeland, onder meer in weilanden rond zijn Highgrove House.

Prins Charles zou een ontmoeting hebben met graancirkelonderzoeker Colin Andrews, maar die werd op het laatste moment afgeblazen nadat een krant erover had geschreven.

Authentiek

“Er waren graancirkels verschenen op één van de landgoederen van prins Charles en andere royals,” zei Andrews later. “Hij was er erg in geïnteresseerd.”

“Prins Charles wilde dat ik uitleg gaf over de formaties, die in onze ogen authentiek waren,” ging hij verder. “Een ontmoeting ging vanwege een medialek helaas niet door.”

Een woordvoerder van de prins weigerde commentaar te geven.

Belgium General says incredible UFO case is a mystery

In this video, retired Belgian Air Force General Wilfried De Brouwer discusses a wave of triangular UFOs he investigated in 1989 and 1990. He was in charge of the Belgian Air Force’s official investigation. They never came to a definite conclusion as to where the mysterious triangles came from. De Brouwer also discusses the controversial photograph that was allegedly taken in Petit-Rechain.

Two Notable Narratives of Alien Abductions

The story of Barney and Betty Hill, a couple from New Hampshire, is the first from the United States detailing about extra-terrestrial abduction that got worldwide interest. The couple claimed that they have been abducted in 1961 and stayed in a UFO. However, there’s an earlier story of alien abduction happened in 1957 that involves a farmer from rural Brazil named Antonio Villas Boas.

According to the story by Villas Boas, he was abducted by a group of ETs measuring approximately 5 feet tall when he was plowing his fields with a tractor. He was taken inside a spaceship’s room and got sick with a gas that came out of the walls. Then a naked and attractive female came to him. The female entity had blonde hair, red pubic hair and deep-blue eyes. This female forced him to have intercourse.

Villas Boas thought it was the intention of the extra-terrestrials to produce a human-alien hybrid that could live on their planet. Boas noted that he noticed burns on his body when he got back. According to Olavo Fontes, a doctor from reputable medical center and who had contacts with the American UFO research group APRO, Boas suffered radiation burns. However, Boas did not recognize or notice how he got the burns.

In late 1950s, the story received global popularity and many thought that the farmer was not capable to make such false story because he was a humble farmer and uneducated resident from rural Brazil. However, in reality, Boas owned a large farmland and at least a tractor. He later became a lawyer and practiced his profession until he died in 1992.

Dr. Botta Went Inside Flying Saucer in 1950: The Explicit Encounter

Since there are flying objects that cannot be identified readily, people relate them to extraterrestrials since out of the thousands of sightings, several of them pertains to bright strange shaped object to disk-shaped vessels. For some, the appearance of humanoid creatures. Given that most sightings came from ordinary residents, and were easily debunked due to the lack of evidence, what happened when a doctor confessed to having encountered a flying saucer? Dr. Botta is a credible person that doesn’t believe in extraterrestrial. Unlike others, the doctor’s case was given much weight because the encounter is intense.

In 1950, Dr. Enrique Caretenuto Botta passed his story to Horacio Gonzales at a UFO conference in 1955. At the time of the encounter, Dr. Botta was 40 years old. Since he has a reputable image, he was well respected. Before he became a doctor, he was an ex-war pilot and aeronautical engineer. Botta was driving on the highway in Bahia Blanca when he saw a mysterious metallic disc-shaped object landed on the grass. To watch it apparently, he stopped the car. Since it has no sign of movement, he has gotten closer to the object. Since it is accessible, he decided to go inside.

As he explored further, he saw a divan with four seats. Three were occupied by small beings that are about four feet tall with tiny bodies. The three humanoid creatures were facing on a control panel. As soon as he met the creatures, he realized they were dead. He then panicked and rushed from the saucer and went back to his hotel to share the story with his friends. They planned to go back to see the mysterious humanoid creature, but the craft was not there anymore. As they looked above, they saw a cigar-shaped object hovering the sky.

Even though the details of the strange happenings are less likely feasible, the reputation and character of Botta make this case difficult to discount.

Palpa Lines: Are They Created Before Nazca Lines For Years?

One of the many reasons why some people believe in aliens and some extraterrestrial creatures is the existence of mysterious objects or works of art that appeared centuries ago. According to them, these works were naturally made, as opposed to man-made which can easily be debunked. According to recent studies of archaeological, the first Nazca lines drawings were created in the Valleys of the Rio Grande and Palpa. It was 3000 years ago that our ancestors utilized the flat surface of the mountains. Of course, they also used slopes of the hills just to create high and human representations and geometric figures. Today, archaeologist believes that the data were set up to please ancient gods, who allegedly were supposed to control the forces of nature, such as the floods, drought, and earthquake. Today, visitors may observe all these wonderful features of the past, soaring over the zone on small aircraft, specially built for excellent comfort and huge panoramic windows to take great pictures.

Though not as famous as the Geoglyphs and Nazca Lines, those at Palpa are equally intriguing because they were just recently contended of being the earlier lines existed in this world. Made by the Paracas culture possibly thousand years ahead of the Nazca Lines, there are more than 1600 Geoglyphs and Palpa Lines. No one knows what Nazca lines are. The only debatable fact is that they can be found in South America, specifically at the plateau of the Nazca Desert in the Peru’s southern part. Scattered across the plateau, these lines are massive geoglyphs portraying nature and geometrical objects. They have been carved about 40-50 cm deep and 135 cm wide on the ground. The existence of Palpa lines was believed to be associated with the presence of extraterrestrial beings. At the point of dimensional arguments, the contentions were still hypothetical because there was never a conclusion that came as a final answer.

The industrial Swedish town of Norrköping, nestled along an inlet of the Baltic Sea, was once known for its booming textile industry. Now, decades after outsourcing muffled the city’s industrial buzz, Norrköping is known primarily as a quiet student town, dotted with repurposed factories and the snaking waterways that interweave them.

In such surroundings, it seems strange to find the world’s largest open UFO archive. Yet there it is, just a five-minute tram ride from the city center.

The Archives for the Unexplained, formerly known as The UFO Archives, are scattered throughout 10 storage facilities in the housing quarters of Ljura, a neighborhood in the city's south. These facilities are located in the cellars of colorful, structural-functionalist apartment complexes.

As co-founder and administrative manager Anders Liljegren gives me a tour of the first storage unit, we cross paths with several young students exiting the apartment’s double-doors. Do they realize that century-old collections dedicated to the obscure and unexplained reside just beneath their feet? “Most likely not,” Liljegren laughs when I ask him. “They probably think we’re doing a really bad job of hiding a drug operation or something when we bring huge boxes to the units.”

Co-founder and administrative manager Anders Liljegren in the Archives.

Though the Archives for the Unexplained now boasts over 20,000 collections of animalistic phenomena from all around the world, it had very humble, local beginnings. It all started in 1973 when Anders and his two friends Hakan Blomqvist and Kjell Jonsson founded the Work Group for Ufology, a predecessor to the UFO Archives. Curious about unexplainable objects in the sky, the then 23-year-old and his colleagues ran a library out of their student apartments, hoping to create a dialogue about UFOs in Scandinavia. Over time the library expanded and the group officially became known as the Archives for UFO Research in January of 1980.

Despite assumptions that the organization is comprised of staunch believers in all things extraterrestrial, Liljegren and his coworkers prefer to take a more academic approach to their archival project. “We’ve had some bad experiences with fanatics," he says. “It is best to have people working here who are more sociologically interested.” Liljegren has been personally involved in a wide array of research regarding Scandinavian “close encounters” and was one of the first to gain access to theretofore-secret government documents detailing the Swedish “ghost fliers” and “ghost rockets” that caused a commotion in the 1930s and 1940s.

At work in the archives.

From ancient alien theories to more contemporary hypotheses, the archive in Ljura seems to have it all. Liljegren shows me the archives’ most recent acquisition, donated by the Spanish group Centro de Estudios Interplanetarios (CEI). It is, as is written on the group’s homepage, “one of the finest and rich report files anywhere in the world with 120 large black file folders and another 30 files of cross-indexes by region.”

While I am in awe over the wealth of material from Spain, I am more taken by an old book from the USSR. As UFO research was then a banned topic, books on the subject were painstakingly put together by hand, complete with carefully composed drawings of UFO sightings. Liljegren points to a child-like drawing of an object hovering above a house. “These sightings were actually just Russia’s missile tests, but nobody knew that then. They had no idea.”

For years Liljegren and the board of the UFO Archives struggled to keep the archives streamlined to exclusively UFO-related material but as of April 2013, the organization has broadened its scope. “We get calls from random benefactors every once in a while,” he says. Somebody will call and say that they have their father’s UFO collection, for instance, and need a place to keep it safe.”

Oftentimes people offer to donate money with a caveat. “We’ll have somebody call in and offer a certain sum if we include ‘x’ and ‘y’ in the archives,” says Liljegren. Now officially known as the Archives for the Unexplained, the organization embraces material regarding anything that can be called into question, from the Loch Ness Monster, to fairies, to parapsychology, and more. They have struggled to find a place to consolidate their extensive collections and are still in search of a fitting locale. “We’ll probably stay in Norrköping,” he says, “there’s just too much to transport.”

If you've been on social media then perhaps you've seen the "Ancient Aliens" meme; a wild-haired alien aficionado Giorgio A. Tsoukalos attributing all manner of things to aliens.

Attributing the pyramids to aliens is absurd. But taking something very real and being completely wrong about its cause is all too common, particularly in media reporting. Unfortunately, these attribution errors are often taken more seriously than Tsoukalos' aliens.

Fortunately, scientists have some strategies in their arsenal for avoiding such attribution errors. And you don't require a PhD and research lab to use the strategies.

Searching for MH370

The search for missing Malaysian Airlines MH370 has been marred by false alarms. Many of these false alarms were preventable, using techniques often employed by scientists.

Some searches relied on visual inspection of satellite images, including images that have been digitally altered in the hope of identifying relatively small pieces of debris.

While some searchers were cautious, predictable false alarms arose. Many debris sightings were linked with MH370, when in all likelihood they had nothing to do with the missing jet. There's a lot of fish in the sea, and a lot of rubbish too. Further, people using digitally enhanced images may have misidentified image artefacts as debris.

The false alarms could have been reduced using control samples (some searches may have used control samples, but this has gone largely unreported). For example, if satellite images from inside and outside the search area were inspected, one could estimate the number of debris sightings not associated with MH370. In a sense, this happened inadvertently when initial searches unfortunately focused on the South China Sea instead of the Indian Ocean.

Searching for known objects may have also reduced the false alarms. For example, there are claims online that MH370's contrails are visible in satellite images. If this were true, satellite images should also show contrails from other jets with known flight paths crossing the Indian Ocean on the same day. This cross check (among others) is largely absent from online discussions of MH370.

UFOs and Einstein

If I want to quickly find unconvincing UFO stories, the Science section of the UK's Daily Express is a good place to start. (And the Daily Mail isn't that far behind.)

Many UFO snapshots are patterns of light created by lens flares and reflections off windows. These artefacts are well known to astronomers, professional photographers and film director J.J. Abrams, but are perhaps unfamiliar to some tabloid journalists.

Scientists often gain understanding, including correctly interpreting data, by collaborating with relevant experts. And such collaborations shouldn't be limited to scientists.

Last year I was emailed by someone who witnessed a star brighten and then rapidly disappear. Fortunately she recorded the time and location of the event, and I recognised it was an "iridium flare" produced by an orbiting satellite. Someone unfamiliar with iridium flares could believe they saw a UFO or an exploding star, but collaboration demystified the initially strange and inexplicable.

Many Daily Express' alien stories discuss rather elaborate theories about the mundane. A Mars rock that looks a bit like a person (or just about anything) is evidence for aliens. Shadows on the moon aren't just lumps and bumps on the lunar surface, but evidence for a giant insect. Nope.

There may well be aliens somewhere in the universe, but if you are looking at a rocky planetary landscape, you are probably looking at rocks and shadows, not aliens.

Mundane explanations aren't just for debunking tabloid UFO stories. In 2011, the OPERA experiment hinted that neutrinos could travel faster than light. However, even the OPERA scientists were cautious about this result, given it was at odds with Einstein's theory of relativity.

A scientific theory like relativity is more than just an idea; it is a "comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence". Established theories can be powerful tools for determining if a claim is likely to be true.

In the case of the speeding neutrinos, a dodgy connection in the experiment was found to be producing erroneously fast measurements. The mundane trumped the headlines.

Bed sheets and ski resorts

"Correlation is not causation" is a great victory of science communication. Millions now know that two sets of data can line up very nicely just by random chance.

The Spurious Correlations website has many excellent examples of meaningless correlations. I particularly like the correlation between deaths caused entanglement in bed sheets with revenue from skiing facilities.

This is all fine and well, but how do you tell meaningful correlations from the spurious correlations? Indeed, pseudo scientists will invoke "correlation is not causation" to dismiss vaccines or climate science. The answer is science doesn't stop at simple comparisons of data on plots.

For example, the rise in global temperatures is correlated with the rise in atmospheric CO₂. But the science doesn't end there. One can look at temperature rise as a function of location, altitude and time of day. Theory predicts more CO₂ increases the absorption of infrared light, thermal expansion of the warming oceans contributes to sea level rise, and natural impacts on climate aren't ignored. Science is more than a plot correlating two sets of data.

When it comes to pseudoscience, the analysis often stops with the simple plots. Online I've argued with the climate "sceptic" blogger Joanne Codling about her climate claims, which have been publicised by Miranda Devine in the Daily Telegraph.

Curiously Codling and her husband have a graph that suggests nuclear tests had a bigger impact on global temperatures than volcanoes. They've speculated dust was responsible, but they didn't seek additional evidence.

Even a cursory look at measurements of atmospheric particulates shows volcanoes injected far more dust into the air than nuclear tests. Volcanoes had a greater impact on climate than nuclear tests, correlation isn't causation, and science is more than lining up data on graphs.

We live in a data-rich world. We can upload camera phone images in an instant, or download data and examine it with a spread sheet. Understanding the origins of what we see is harder. But with a little bit of scientific method we can all avoid the worst attribution errors.

IN BRIEF

Through NASA's Cassini rocket, scientists caught "mini-jets" in the act of blowing out particles from the Saturn's F ring, leaving a trail of imperfection in the supposedly flawless discrete ring.

SMEARED OUT OF PERFECTION

Scientists recently found a smeared section on Saturn’s outermost ring, known as the F ring. The “vandalism” was caught using NASA’s Cassini rocket.

But apparently, this isn’t uncommon. In fact, the F ring is Saturn’s most dynamic ring, and scientists can actually see the F ring continuously changing in as short as a few hours and researchers have been observing trails left by objects punching through the particles for years.

In 2012, researchers began scouring through and magnifying thousands of photos in a mission to investigate themysterious behavior of the F ring. “The F ring has a circumference of 550,000 miles (881,000 kilometers), and these mini-jets are so tiny they took quite a bit of time and serendipity to find,” said Nick Attree, an imaging associate for the Cassini. “We combed through 20,000 images and were delighted to find 500 examples of these rogues during just the seven years Cassini has been at Saturn.”

Saturn’s F ring is its narrowest ring, which is a 30-300 feet wide layer made of trillions of dust, rock, and ice particles and has a circumference of about 550,000 miles (881,000 kilometers). 

And while it’s a very pretty sight, make no mistake: these particles travel at violent speeds, with some moving at thousands of miles per hour. And these particles range between sizes as small as a grain of sand, to masses bigger than a skyscraper.

WHAT’S THE CULPRIT?

The disruptions are believed to be caused by some objects embedded within the ring and interact with some of the other objects in it, and with the influence of Saturn’s moonPrometheus, producing “mini-jets” that blow some of the particles out of formation.

“[Prometheus] acts as a cosmic shepherd, sculpting the F ring as it makes its orbit around Saturn,” National Geographic writes. “But the moon’s route isn’t perfectly circular, and its uneven pull can create clumps inside the ring that then shoot out as jets.”

The recent collision observed through the Cassini on April 8 happened within a day or so of being caught in the act, and the particles have pretty much put themselves back into order within two months.

In many ways, Saturn’s rings are perfect for leaving clues about cosmic events around it, since any collisions leave trails of particles from the rings.

“You get to expecting in planetary science for things to have happened millions of years ago, and you don’t think to ever get to observe things actively happening,” Weiss said. “But that’s the kind of funky thing with Saturn’s rings. You can actually see evidence of things that happened yesterday  or the day before.”

Star Trek Tricorder: Medical Device Can Scan DNA, Diagnose Illness

After nearly a decade of development, a real life "Tricorder" has been developed to scan for sickness and disease.

(Photo : Getty Images)

The "Tricorder," a medical device used on the famed sci-fi space show "Star Trek," has become a real working device, with the ability to scan DNA and detect multiple diseases within the human body, according to Daily Mail.

Jonathan O'Halloran, a 39-year-old inventor who has been working on the device for eight years, believes that the device can conduct complex lab analysis quickly and easily, saving time and money. O'Halloran is the co-founder of QuantuMDx, a company that is working on bringing simple handheld solutions to doctors all over the world.

One of their headlining inventions, the QPOC, mirrors the abilities of the infamous Tricorder.The device can take samples of blood, check for specific diseases and deliver pinpointed analysis in about 10 to 15 minutes.

"Trying to explain a handheld DNA test in the background of everything that's out there at the moment is very tricky," said O'Halloran. "We're trying to get to a point where we can do in-field diagnosis."

Right now, the current models of the QPOC are being handmade in Singapore for around $88, according to The Kernel.

The company is at work to improve the device and make it more cost effective.

Mark Rylance: I'm Prince Charles's crop circle counsellor

Mark Rylance, the Oscar-winning actor, has claimed to be a "crop circle counsellor" to the Prince of Wales.

Rylance, who stars as the BFG in Steven Spielberg's new adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl book, said that both he and the Prince share a fascination with crop circles, and have exchanged letters regarding the phenomena.

He said: "He's interested in crop circles, too, so I send him my crop circle calendars and magazines that I buy and keep him informed. I'm his crop circle counsellor."

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Rylance said he first met the Prince when he went to chat to the royal before playing Henry V at the Globe Theatre.

"He's just a human soul like you or I, but he's been born into this incredible fate," the actor told Australia's Sydney Morning Herald.

"We had a wonderful meeting and then he came to the Globe several times. He is a great lover of Shakespeare – and I met him another time to talk about Shakespeare.

"I still call him 'sir' in respect for his extraordinary fate. He's just a human soul like you or I, but he's been born into this incredible fate and so I respect him as I would respect anyone who has had an extraordinary fate given to them."

The Prince was reported to have shown an interest in crop circles in 1991, after a number of the patterns appeared across southern England, including in fields close to his Highgrove estate.

Self-styled researcher Colin Andrews was said to have been asked to meet with the Prince, but the meeting was cancelled after a tabloid newspaper revealed the plan.

Mr Andrews later wrote: "Prince Charles had crop circles on one of his estates as did other members of Royalty and his interest was high.

"Prince Charles wanted me to explain the features we were convinced at the time were of a genuine phenomenon. Although a plan was set for such a meeting to take place an unfortunate leak to the media scuttled our meeting."

A spokesman for the Prince refused to comment.
