Kan een afbeelding zijn van hond

Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    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...

    VIDEO De boogbus waar auto's onderdoor kunnen rijden heeft deze week zijn eerste testritje gemaakt. De Chinese oplossing op het fileprobleem legde de driehonderd meter over de snelweg in de provincie Hebei zonder problemen af.

    De zogenaamde Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) speelt haasje-over met de auto's die onder hem doorrijden. De bus rijdt op rails die langs de weg worden aangelegd. Er passen driehonderd passagiers in de bus die 21 meter lang is en ongeveer 8 meter breed.

    Het gevaarte kan een snelheid van maximaal 60 kilometer per uur halen. 4 TEBs kunnen aan elkaar gekoppeld worden, net zoals treinstellen. "Het grootste voordeel is dat de bus een heleboel ruimte op de wegen zal besparen," zei Song Youzhou, projectleider. 

    De bus kan hetzelfde als de metro, maar de aanlegkosten zijn minder dan een vijfde van de kosten om een metronetwerk aan te leggen. Één TEB kan 40 bussen vervangen.

    Indrukwekkende test laat zien dat SpaceX Falcon 9-raket kan hergebruiken - HLN.be

    Bron: Tweakers.net

    VIDEO Ruimtevaartbedrijf SpaceX heeft onderzocht of een gebruikte raket opnieuw kan ingezet worden voor een nieuwe ruimtemissie. Het bedrijf van Elon Musk liet de eerste trap van een 'tweedehands' Falcon 9-raket 2,5 minuten lang op vol vermogen ontbranden, iets wat indrukwekkende beelden oplevert.

    De periode van twee minuten en dertig seconden is ongeveer gelijk aan de tijd die nodig is om de raket tijdens een ruimtemissie te laten ontbranden. Omdat alles schijnbaar succesvol verloopt, lijkt SpaceX voor het eerst te hebben aangetoond dat het daadwerkelijk zijn raketten kan hergebruiken.

    Landingen

    De bewuste Falcon 9-raket werd eerder dit jaar gebruikt voor een missie waarbij een Japanse communicatiesatelliet in een baan om de aarde werd gebracht. Achteraf slaagde SpaceX erin om de eerste trap van de raket op een droneschip op zee te laten landen. Dat kunstje wist het bedrijf overigens al verscheidene malen te herhalen, al is een gebruikte raket nog niet eerder opnieuw de ruimte in gestuurd. Ondanks de successen gaat het landen nog steeds wel eens fout, zo bleek bij een ontploffing vorige maand.

    Kosten drukken

    Of SpaceX de geteste raket daadwerkelijk opnieuw de lucht in wil sturen is nog onduidelijk. Wel wordt al geruime tijd gewerkt aan het hergebruik van raketten, omdat dit de kosten van ruimtemissies aanzienlijk kan verlagen. Daarbij krijgt SpaceX overigens concurrentie van andere bedrijven. Zo slaagde Blue Origin van Amazon-oprichter Jeff Bezos er meermaals in een raket weer op Aarde te laten landen. Wel richt Blue Origin zich voornamelijk op ruimtevluchten voor menselijke passagiers, waar SpaceX vooralsnog voornamelijk mikt op vrachtvervoer naar het internationale ruimtestation.

    Gepensioneerde prof: "Buitenaardse ontvoeringen zijn onderdeel van geheim programma"

    Gepensioneerde prof: “Buitenaardse ontvoeringen zijn onderdeel van geheim programma”

    Mensen die zijn ontvoerd door aliens mogen zich niet herinneren wat er met ze is gebeurd. Dat zegt de Amerikaanse historicus en gepensioneerde professor van de Temple-universiteit dr. David Jacobs in gesprek met Earth Mystery News.

    Jacobs heeft naast zijn interesse in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis en cultuur een grote fascinatie voor buitenaardse ontvoeringen. Hij schreef al diverse boeken over het fenomeen.

    In 1973 studeerde hij af aan de Universiteit van Wisconsin-Madison. Hij schreef zijn proefschrift over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten in Amerika. Het werk, getiteld The UFO Controversy in America, werd twee jaar later gepubliceerd door de Indiana University Press en was al snel uitverkocht, wat erg ongewoon is voor een proefschrift.

    Bewijs

    Dr. Jacobs, die meer dan 25 jaar een vak doceerde over UFO’s in de Amerikaanse samenleving, stelt dat mensen al eeuwenlang contact hebben met buitenaardse wezens en dat die wezens zich onopgemerkt onder ons begeven.

    De historicus heeft 150 mensen geïnterviewd die naar eigen zeggen zijn ontvoerd door buitenaardsen. De herinneringen aan de kosmische ontvoeringen komen bovendrijven tijdens ontspanningssessies.

    Volgens Jacobs is er bewijs voor buitenaardse ontvoeringen. Mensen maken onafhankelijk van elkaar melding van contact met mens- of insectachtige wezens. Ontvoerden worden meestal in groepen meegenomen, zegt hij. Vreemden herkennen elkaar van hun ervaringen in de ruimte.

    Geheim programma

    Mensen komen terug met vreemde tekens, verwondingen of littekens, waaronder littekenweefsel dat van de ene op de andere dag is ontstaan, weet Jacobs. “Ik heb het met eigen ogen gezien.”

    Dr. Jacobs suggereert dat een buitenaardse ontvoering geen aangename bovendimensionale, spirituele ervaring is zoals veel mensen beweren. Uit het onderzoek van Jacobs door middel van hypnose en regressie blijkt volgens hem dat buitenaardse hybrides betrokken zijn bij een geheim programma om de menselijke samenleving te infiltreren.

    “Die hybrides trainen om hier te leven,” merkt Jacobs op. “En zij worden getraind door de ontvoerden.”

    Volgens de gepensioneerde hoogleraar willen ze de planeet overnemen door mensachtige hybrides te creëren. “Hoe vaker je hiernaar kijkt, hoe rationeler het wordt,” concludeert hij.

    Is realiteit een illusie? Wetenschapper zegt dat we mogelijk in een computersimulatie leven

    Is realiteit een illusie? Wetenschapper zegt dat we mogelijk in een computersimulatie leven

    In de jaren tachtig ontwikkelde de Amerikaanse filosoof Hilary Putnam het gedachte-experiment ‘hersenen in een vat’, dat is bedoeld om na te denken over de realiteit, waarheid en bewustzijn.

    Het idee is dat een wetenschapper iemands hersenen uit het lichaam haalt, in een vat met vloeistof legt en de neuronen van het brein op een zeer krachtige computer aansluit. Deze computer simuleert een virtuele werkelijkheid. De hersenen zouden dezelfde belevenis hebben als wanneer ze zich in een fysiek lichaam bevonden.

    Slapen

    Het experiment is eigenlijk een hedendaagse versie van het argument dat gegeven is door Descartes dat hij zijn eigen waarnemingen niet kan vertrouwen omdat een demon ze misschien manipuleert. Hoe kunnen we er zeker van zijn dat we nu wakker zijn en niet slapen of dromen?

    Ook de films The Matrix (1999) en Inception (2010) borduren voort op dit gedachte-experiment. In The Matrix ontdekt hoofdpersoon Neo dat de ‘gewone’ wereld een gesimuleerde realiteit is en dat zijn echte lichaam in een vat met vloeistof ligt.

    Computersimulatie

    Hoewel we er nooit helemaal zeker van kunnen zijn dat de externe wereld eruitziet zoals we die waarnemen met onze zintuigen, kunnen we er wel zeker van zijn dat we bestaan, stelt Laura D’Olimpio van de Universiteit van Notre Dame in Australië. Iedere keer dat we daar aan twijfelen moet er namelijk een ‘ik’ zijn die twijfelt. Of zoals Descartes het in zijn tweede Meditatie omschrijft: ‘Ego sum, ergo existo’ oftewel ‘Ik denk, dus ik besta’.

    “Het is dus goed mogelijk dat je brein zich in een vat bevindt en dat de wereld een computersimulatie is, geprogrammeerd door een kwaadaardig genie,” concludeert D’Olimpio. “Maar wees gerust, je kunt tenminste nadenken.”

    “Profetie wordt vervuld”: Komt de Dode Zee tot leven?

    Door het hoge zoutgehalte is er geen leven mogelijk in de Dode Zee. Dat denken wetenschappers althans. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat er leven is op de bodem van de zee. Er is nu ook leven gevonden aan de kust van de Dode Zee.

    Samantha Siegel uit Jeruzalem stuitte tijdens een natuurtocht tot haar verbazing op zoetwaterplekken met vissen in de Dode Zee.

    "Profetie wordt vervuld": Komt de Dode Zee tot leven?

    Samantha Siegel (Facebook)

    Het gebied rond de Dode Zee zag er vroeger volgens de Bijbel heel anders uit:

    Lot liet zijn blik rondgaan en zag hoe rijk aan water de hele Jordaanvallei was; voordat Sodom en Gomorra door de Heer werden verwoest, was de vallei tot aan Soar toe even waterrijk als de tuin van de Heer en als Egypte. – Genesis 13:10

    Overvloed

    Er bestaan ook voorspellingen dat water ten oosten van Jeruzalem in de Dode Zee zal stromen en de zoute wateren zal vullen met vis:

    Hij zei tegen mij: Dit water stroomt door de oostelijke landstreek, dan naar benden de Jordaanvallei in, en mondt uit in de Dode Zee. Wanneer het de zee in stroomt wordt het water daar zoet. Het zal er wemelen van levende wezens, overal waar de rivier stroomt komt leven, er zal vis zijn in overvloed. Als dit water in de Dode Zee aankomt wordt het water daar zoet; overal waar de rivier stroomt komt leven. – Ezechiël 47:8-9

    Zinkgaten

    Het waterpeil van de Dode Zee daalt met ongeveer een meter per jaar. De stranden aan de Israëlische kant krijgen steeds vaker te maken met zogenoemde zinkgaten. Siegel ontdekte dat veel van deze gaten gevuld zijn met zoet water en vissen.

    In onderstaande video laat ze vissen zien die zwemmen aan de kust van de Dode Zee. Ze neemt ook een duik in een meertje dat wordt omringd door planten.

    Zoet water

    In 2011 stuurden onderzoekers van de Ben-Gurion Universiteit van de Negev duikers naar de bodem van de Dode Zee. Door het hoge zoutgehalte weigerde normale apparatuur dienst. De onderzoekers ontdekten enorme kraters op de zeebodem waar zoet water uit stroomde. De wanden van de kraters bleken te zijn bedekt met micro-organismen.

    Dit is een belangrijke ontdekking en eigenlijk is er niemand die erover praat,” aldus Siegel.

It's no coincidence that so many people who encounter UFOs also really want to believe in them.

    However, buried deep within the U.S. military's own records are some very bizarre, and very well-documented sightings that have to give even a skeptic second thoughts.

    Are they aliens? We're not saying that. We're just saying they're really, really weird.

    #5. The Chiles-Whitted UFO Encounter

    It's not all that uncommon for airline pilots to spot UFOs. After all, some guy who flies with Southwestern isn't immune to mistaking a meteor for an alien craft if he's never seen a meteor before. But then you have a case like the Chiles-Witted encounter.

    Named after commercial airline pilots and World War II veterans Clarence Chiles and Charles Whitted, this sighting occurred in the wee hours of July 24, 1948, when both Chiles and co-pilot Whitted reported having to evade, what could only be described as a giant, flying ... dildo.


    Aphrodite: "So that's were that went!"

    The Unsettling Evidence:

    First off all, the below facts are not from the pages of Holy Shit UFOs Are Real Weekly or any other group of alien enthusiasts. This is from the Air Force's own investigation into the sighting.

    So right off the bat we have the fact that there were two experienced pilots both reporting the same thing: that a weird-ass craft was flying alongside them, very closely. It wasn't some vague flashing light that zipped past. Both men claimed they got a good, long (10 to 15 seconds) look at it. If you think it's because both men had been dropping the same acid minutes earlier, know that one of the passengers in the plane (one of the few who were awake at the time) also saw it. Everyone involved described it as a rocket like ship, conical in shape with two decks lined with windows, which produced an almost blinding light from beneath the ship.


    "The ship appeared to be Bugle-escent in nature."

    The pilots got on the radio and, trying not to sound crazy, asked if there were any experimental craft in the area (there weren't, or at least none that flight control knew about).

    OK, so maybe everybody on the plane got together and came up with a hoax so they'd get their name in the paper later. Well, when Air Force investigators started poking around, they found yet another witness on the ground (a guy named Walter Massey, who worked as a member of the ground crew at a nearby Air Force base) who claimed to have seen the same object, reporting it an hour before Chiles and Whitted.

    Then, strangest of all, they found out that the same object (right down to the two rows of windows) was spotted in the Netherlands. Well, they probably just heard about the Chiles-Whitted sighting and wanted to jump on the bandwagon, right? Only if they had a time machine: it was reported a month earlier. What the hell?

    The Official Explanation:

    First the military dismissed the Chiles-Whitted encounter as a weather balloon, but then they retracted that explanation and floated the idea that it was a meteor. The pilots flatly rejected this theory, both having seen meteors before and knowing that they tended to not have windows.


    A fact backed up by numerous diagrams.

    After investigating it, the Air Force famously concluded that it was in fact an alien spacecraft. After investigators handed in that report, superiors handed it right back with a proverbial "BULLSHIT" stamped on it in red. They pointed out that just because we don't know what the object was, doesn't mean it's little green men.

    That seems reasonable. But still ... what the hell was it? To this day, we have no idea.

    #4. The Green Fireball Sightings

    The Green Fireball Sightings refer to a series of, you guessed it, green fireballs which were witnessed in the skies above New Mexico between December 1948 and April 1955. They were seen by, well, just about everybody.

    Hundreds of military scientists, astronomers and enlisted personnel, along with members of the general public, reported looking on as the giant parade of WTF was unraveling in the sky above them.

    Now, as a rational person looking at the above picture, you immediately think "meteor." Or maybe a comet. It's streaking across the sky, it's on fire, that's the sort of thing we expect from time to time, right? That's what the government thought, too, so they brought in a meteor expert named Dr. Lincoln LaPaz.

    The Unsettling Evidence:

    LaPaz spent years on the subject and decided that the rate in which the fireballs were being sighted, combined with the slow speeds and lack of rock bits trailing the objects, meant they weren't behaving in a matter fitting of meteors... or that of any natural phenomena.


    The "God's Roman Candles" theory was also quickly dismissed.

    The Air Force's investigation into the fireballs was hilariously named Project Twinkle, but the Air Force didn't find anything funny about the situation: A lot of these sightings were over the Los Alamos National Laboratory, aka The Place Where We Were Working On Giant City-Vaporizing Bombs (many of the sightings were from staff working there). The government decided whether it was aliens or the Russians or angels getting cast out of Heaven, they wanted to get to the bottom of that shit.


    Fallen angels are notoriously dickish about stealing secrets.

    After a couple of years of looking into it, however, they knew nothing more than when they started: There were balls, they were green, and on fire.

    The Official Explanation:

    The Air Force shut down the investigation and finally wrote off the phenomena as sunspots or some new kind of meteor or something. LaPaz (their meteor expert) insisted that none of that made sense, and would continue to do so for years. The balls were spotted over and over again even after the investigation shut down, and each time someone would go interview poor Dr. LaPaz who would repeat his long list of reasons why they're not meteors.

    LaPaz thought they were some kind of radical new Soviet aircraft, or something else that didn't just occur in nature. Another theory turned up later that maybe it was some weird effect caused by nuclear fallout (which would make sense considering where they were being spotted) but "glowing green balls of fallout" isn't a known phenomenon, either.


    Unless the Hulk was falling from orbit.

    In short, nobody knows.

    #3. The Gorman Dogfight

    On October 1, 1948, in the skies over Fargo, North Dakota, World War II veteran and resident badass George F. Gorman claimed he wound up in a game of chicken with a small, blinking orb of light. Or as he put it: "A man-made craft that, while governed by the laws of inertia, was still able to not only out maneuver his own aircraft, but climb at a much higher rate and remain active at a much higher altitude."

    The Unsettling Evidence:

    As Air Force records show, along with Gorman's testimony there were two other witnesses who were working in the Air Plane Control Tower (they saw the object, but nothing showed on their radar), and the pilot and passenger of yet another plane who happened to be in the area.

    Gorman claimed he chased the object all around the sky, saying at one point it flew right for him, zipping overhead at the last minute. Later he said it turned and flew toward him again, before rapidly breaking off and changing direction. He briefly lost sight of the object, then found it had climbed much higher in the sky.


    It is unclear how many times Gorman said "Welcome to Earth," during the chase.

    When he landed, somebody ran a Geiger counter over his plane and found slightly elevated levels of radiation, at which point everyone got really nervous (though investigators would later conclude that may be normal for planes just returning from flight, since you're less shielded from natural radiation the higher in the atmosphere you go).

    The Official Explanation:

    The short answer is weather balloon (seriously, when you look into it you find weather balloons seem to single-handedly fuel the UFO industry). The long answer is that the Air Force decided that Gorman, a highly regarded fighter pilot and World War II veteran, had gotten really, really confused.


    Though it may be possible to confuse a giant floating scrotum for something alien, we seriously doubt its ability to perform evasive maneuvers.

    Their theory was that he got disoriented while flying, and the erratic movements he perceived the glowing UFO to be making were actually a result of him flying erratically himself, causing the stationary weather balloon to appear to zip back and forth in his windshield. When he lost sight of the UFO and picked it up later, the theory went that he was actually chasing the planet Jupiter. We're assuming he didn't catch it.


    ...yet.

    In other words, they're saying he was pretty much the world's shittiest fighter pilot, since you'd think the ability to tell the difference between a hostile aircraft and a celestial object would be one of the first things they teach you in fighter pilot school (you waste a ton of bullets otherwise).

    To be fair, however, there is some precedent for that sort of thing. A pilot by the name of Captain Thomas F. Mantell actually freaking died this way. He and a few other planes were dispatched to check out a UFO in January of 1948. The object was too high in the sky for their planes, but Mantell, either having huge balls or a burning hatred of aliens, went after it. Finally at 25,000 feet, he blacked out and his plane crashed. Holy crap! He was killed by aliens!

    Well, before he went out, he had time to radio in that the craft was "metallic and tremendous in size." And it was. The Air Force had forgotten to mention they were testing a new weather balloon in the area, one that happened to be huge and covered in a reflective silver surface. Just one of those wacky misunderstandings that would have made for a funny story later, had it not caused a guy to die in a horrific plane crash.


    In fact, Jack suffered a similar fate in the series finale of Three's Company.

    #2. The Washington D.C. UFO Incident

    Between July 13 and 29, 1952, a series of UFO sightings were reported over Washington D.C. Witnesses would include an Air Force pilot, people on the ground and, in case you're the type to never trusts the testimony of fallible human beings, we have readings from two separate radar stations.

    The Unsettling Evidence:

    The first substantiated report came on July 19, when air traffic controller Edward Nugent, of Washington National Airport...


    or "Ted" to his friends.

    ... noticed seven unidentifiable objects on his radar. The objects were not following established flight paths and, in typical UFO sighting fashion, were being too radical in their movements to be ordinary aircraft. Meanwhile, at Andrew's Air Force Base, air traffic controllers were also tracking several unidentifiable objects. According to the military's report on the incident, both towers were tracking an object that was hovering over a radio beacon, before it vanished from both radars at the exact same time.

    Even more interesting is that almost the exact same thing happened on July 26, only a week later. The same airports, the same radar readings, the same unidentified objects all on the same fucking day of the week. Two fighter jets were sent this time, one of which saw nothing. The other, however, reported four orbs of light zipping around. The pilot even called in to ask if he should, you know, shoot them down or something, before they streaked out of sight.


    "Should I kill this?"

    That was enough to attract the attention of President Harry Truman. By now the Air Force had launched Project Blue Book, a massive investigation into pretty much every UFO sighting ever, with the goal of finding out once and for all what was going on. If that sounds like X-Files stuff, remember it's not that the government believed an Independence Day scenario was coming. It was more worried about some kind of radical new Russian spy aircraft.

    The Official Explanation:

    Project Blue Book was headed by Air Force Captain Edward Ruppelt, and the best guess he could come up with for the D.C. sightings was that the radar was giving false readings due to a temperature inversion (where a layer of warm, moist air covers a layer of cool, dry air, close to the ground, which can reflect radar signals). This didn't account for the eyewitness sightings, of course, or for the fact that temperature inversions are common but radars never pick them up.


    "Problem solved." - Project Blue Book

    So the government's official position wound up being that there was a meteor storm or some other phenomena at the exact same time, by pure coincidence, there was an unrelated radar error causing the false signals. Mystery solved! Though we should point out that among the people who didn't buy the explanation included Ruppelt and the personnel who were manning the freaking radar stations.


    We find that it's a lot easier to cover things up when you ignore the eyewitnesses.

    It didn't matter. By 1952, the government was sick of the UFO thing. The nation had UFO fever and every time something lit up in the sky, hundreds and hundreds of people would call and claim Mars was attacking. The entire point of Project Blue Book was to debunk as many of these as possible and get all those cranks to stop bothering them.

    It worked like a charm! There were no more UFO sightings after 1952, right?

    #1. The Valentich Disappearance

    OK, so there were a few thousand after that. And one of them has to be the weirdest of all: the Valentich Disappearance.

    History has seen its fair share of aircraft, and even boats, disappearing into the great abyss that is our mighty oceans. So it wouldn't be surprising to hear that on October 21, 1978, a Cessna 182 light aircraft piloted by Australian Frederick Valentich pulled a Houdini and disappeared right the fuck out of thin air.


    Ta Da!

    That is, until you take into account his final radio transmissions, which are about the creepiest thing you'll ever read.

    The Unsettling Evidence:

    In his final words with Melbourne Air Traffic Control, which can be read in its creepy-ass entiretyhere, Valentich described being followed by a UFO:

    Valentich: Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet. Is there any known traffic below five thousand?
    Melbourne: No known traffic.
    Valentich: I am... seems to be a large aircraft below five thousand.
    Melbourne: What type of aircraft is it?
    Valentich: I cannot affirm. It is four bright... it seems to me like landing lights.

    Like Gorman, Valentich claimed the aircraft was intentionally buzzing him, zipping past, getting too close and going incredibly fast. At one point Valentich said the aircraft stopped in mid-air, and he orbited around it to get a good look:

    Valentich: It's got a green light and sort of metallic like... it's all shiny on the outside... ... it just vanished...

    Later:

    Valentich: Ah... Melbourne that strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again... (two seconds open microphone)... it is hovering and it's not an aircraft...

    Those were Valentich's last words to Air Traffic Control, and maybe his last words to anyone. What followed were 17 seconds of a metallic scraping sound. Neither Valentich nor his plane were ever seen again. The investigation has been one, long, frustrating dead end. No wreckage of the plane has been found, but he was close enough to the ocean that he could have wound up crashing there. Of course, he was close enough to land for lots and lots of eyewitnesses to come forward to say they saw the EXACT same UFO Valentich reported ... which would be great if they weren't all coming forward after the story had hit the newspapers. They even had two experts examine the 17 seconds of metallic scraping at the end of the radio transmission. The conclusion was a shrug and, "Yep, that's pretty fuckin' weird, isn't it?"


    "Weird as shit."

    The Official Explanation:

    One of the cruel realities of life is that it's pretty easy to blame whoever isn't around to defend themselves. So "Valentich was crazy/stupid/disoriented" immediately becomes the default explanation. For instance, some have suggested Valentich became disoriented and was actually flying upside down the entire time. The lights he saw being his own in the reflection of the ocean.


    "Wow, an upside down world with forests and trees and everything! It's like Narnia!"

    This would, of course, make him an even worse pilot than George "I tried to shoot down Jupiter" Gorman.

    Some have suggested it was an elaborate suicide, the UFO thing a final hoax to keep people talking. Or maybe he just imagined the whole thing from the start. Who knows? He's not around for us to ask.

    Our favorite theory is that the guy just got fed up with his life and flew off to go start a new one somewhere where nobody knew him. Who hasn't felt like doing that?


    I'm never wearing pants again! Fuck you, society!

    Or, maybe it was aliens.

    'Hey Bill Nye, If Humans Colonize Mars, How Will We Evolve?’ #TuesdaysWithBill UFO Sighting News.

    Here is an interesting video by Bill Nye. It discusses how humanity will evolve once on other planets. I believe evolution will happen naturally as well as technologically. Meaning we will grow more intelligent, stronger bodies, and longer lifespans all due to technological advancements. 
    Scott C. Waring
    www.ufosightingsdaily.com  

    Video states: 
    Victor: Hey Bill. My name is Victor and I’m from Markham, Ontario. The question I have for you this Tuesday pertains to human evolution and space colonization. I understand that humans are constantly evolving to adapt to the environment around us. For instance astronauts who have gone on long expeditions need to be carried out of their spacecraft after returning back to Earth. So what kind of evolutions do you think we might see in humans if we colonize a planet with lower gravity like Mars? Thank you.

    Bill Nye: Victor, Victor, Victor. This is an excellent question and I appreciate you asking it. Notice that it is my strong belief that we will not colonize Mars. It’s a very romantic notion. You live in Ontario. I don’t know but it looks like your ancestors came from the west, the left coast of Canada and a lot of people who first colonized Canada were from Europe. And we have this vision that you leave your native country because you’re getting religiously persecuted or someone is making you a good deal on going to a new world where you can start a new life. And the people that came to North America from Europe thought this was great. They were going across North America eating everything, foraging in the forest, cutting down trees, making farms, finding all these remarkable natural resources, especially in Canada all these wonderful mineral resources.

    UFOs Streaking Toward the Ground Around Nellis AFB, Spring Mountains and Area 51

    ufos

    In a UFO hotspot Nellis Air Force Base, UFO researcher Steven Barone keeps on monitoring the alleged UFO traffic above the area from the backyard of his home in Summerlin, Las Vegas.

    UFO bloggers, meanwhile, have claimed that Barone’s series of videos uploaded to YouTube show UFO spacecraft from a secret community of Tall White Aliens, which the U.S. government allegedly hosted at Nellis AFB and Area 51.

    The latest footage from Barone, captured on July 28 from his backyard, shows a strange object streaking across toward the ground. The video also features footage from his November capture last year showing three mysterious orbs going down in the nearby Spring Mountains.

    According to Barone, he looked out for UFOs on the night of July 28, Thursday, in a stormy city of Las Vegas. Despite the adverse weather conditions, he still decided to record some UFOs as usual. He used a night vision camera to handle a little wind.

    However, he ended up witnessing nothing. He then decided to focus his night vision camera to the nearby Spring Mountains because of a previous amazing footage he got over the mountains on November 12 last year, involving a mysterious bright light activity. He said that UFO activity took place after just waiting for just a short period.

    Barone’s July 28 video shows a bright UFO or some called it alien lightship, in the direction ofArea 51 facility that streaks down and disappears. It also shows footage from November 12, 2015, recorded over the same mountain. Three distinct orbs apparently land at the base of the mountain.

    Many UFO bloggers suggest the UFOs that Barone recorded on videos are Tall White Alien spaceships, making landings at Nellis AFB and not fighter jets from USAF. They believe that the Tall White base is at the end of the Nellis old firing range.

    According to the USAF whistle-blower Charles Hall, the Nellis AFB Tall White base has existed since the 1950s.

    13 Things 'Star Trek' Gets Right (and Wrong) About Space Tech - PART I

    INTRO Space Tech Fact and Fiction

    Credit: Paramount

    In "Star Trek," science often drives the plot forward. Whether characters are beaming to the surface of an alien planet or using warp drive to take a shortcut across the Milky Way, technology is essential for the crewmembers of the USS Enterprise to do their jobs.

    "Star Trek" doesn't always get this science and technology exactly right, but viewers shouldn't harp on the franchise's missteps, said David Allen Batchelor, a member of the radiation effects and analysis group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. 

    "Generally, 'Star Trek' is pretty intelligently written, and more faithful to science than any other science fiction series ever shown on television," Batchelor wrote in a recent analysis of "Star Trek" tech. [Warp Drive & Transporters: How 'Star Trek' Technology Works (Infographic)]

    "'Star Trek' also attracts and excites generations of viewers about advanced science and engineering, and it's almost the only show that depicts scientists and engineers positively, as role models," Batchelor added. "So let's forgive the show for an occasional misconception in the service of an epic adventure."

    Below is a list of the technology he analyzes, from A to Z.

    13. Search for life

    Astronomers are busy looking for other exoplanets. So far, about 3,400 alien worlds have been discovered, most of them by NASA's Kepler space telescope. Some of these planets are rocky and apparently reside in the "habitable zone" of their parent stars, just like Earth. But researchers have yet to find any signs of life, let alone intelligent aliens such as those that populate the "Star Trek" universe.

    Scientists mainly agree that carbon-based life-forms (like those of Earth) could be common in the universe, because carbon is so abundant, Batchelor wrote. Humanoid races like the Vulcans on "Star Trek" are less likely (but then again, actors need to be able to fit into costumes).

    "Could half-human/half-alien hybrids ever exist, like Mr. Spock?" Batchelor wrote. "It seems almost impossible, but with recombinant DNA, our scientists have already created interspecies hybrids. Mr. Spock is not totally beyond biochemical reality, but definitely at the edge." [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]

    Credit: NASA

    12. Androids

    Viewers of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" are familiar with Data, the android being who learns how to deal with emotions through a special chip implanted in his brain. Data may have trouble understanding jokes, but his computing wizardry and eagerness to help made him a favorite among fans. 

    Today, we can transmit information simply from brain to machine to help paralyzed people move, Batchelor said. Also, NASA's Robonaut 2 can flip switches and do simple tasks aboard the International Space Station.

    "Creating 'Star Trek''s Mr. Data would be a historic feat of cybernetics, and it's very controversial in computer science whether it can be done," Batchelor said. "Maybe a self-aware computer can be put into a human-sized body and convinced to live sociably with us and our limitations. That's a long way ahead of our computer technology, but maybe not impossible."

    Artificial gravity

    11. Artificial gravity

    £In "Star Trek," starships use artificial gravity to prevent their crewmembers from floating around like astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) do. There are mechanical ways to create artificial gravity, such as the fictional spinning space station in the famous 1968 movie "2001: A Space Odyssey." It's also possible to generate artificial gravity with magnetic fields, but there would be some problems, Batchelor said.

    "Artificial gravity is not about to provide the normal environment of weight that the Enterprise crew experience," he wrote. "Specially designed magnetic fields could do a similar, weaker job, but they would play havoc with metal equipment … Generating artificial graviton particles is imaginable, but there's no way to say how it might be done."

    It would be nice if artificial gravity were available for astronauts, though. After months in microgravity conditions, spaceflyers commonly experience decreased bone density, loss of muscle strength and vision problems. [The Human Body in Space: 6 Weird Facts]

    10. Cloaking device

    Occasionally, it's useful to hide from the enemy, even if you're in a powerful starship that can blast other ships to pieces. For example, the USS Enterprise hides in the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, in the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot movie. 

    But what's even more useful is an artificial cloaking device you can carry with you — such as that used by the Klingon Bird of Prey ship in the "Star Trek" franchise.

    Such technology is a long way off in real life, however.

    "Crude cloaking devices have been developed today, but they consist of cumbersome layers of metamaterials that only hide tiny objects from visibility in a limited range of colors," Batchelor wrote, pointing out that metamaterials are electronic devices that distort the usual reflection and refraction properties of light. "New varieties of metamaterials undoubtedly will produce new, strange effects, but they don't seem capable of providing complete invisibility."

    Miniaturized technology

    9. Miniaturized technology

    This was one of the best predictors of "Star Trek: The Original Series." Often, when crewmembers were exploring an alien planet, they would send back reports of their observations to the Enterprise using communicators. In an era when computers were the size of rooms, such miniaturized technology was viewed as incredibly futuristic. 

    "Cellphones are ubiquitous now, to an annoying extent, and images and videos made with them are now collected and exchanged obsessively," Batchelor wrote. "Landing parties in past 'Star Trek' shows only gave verbal reports, and did not send back images and videos, as today's people would."

    Meanwhile, longer-range subspace communications — which Enterprise crewmembers use to send messages to Starfleet — remains a TV idea with no physics to back it up. (In physics, "subspace" refers to the theory that space-time may have 11 or more dimensions, which would involve length, width, depth, time and seven more dimensions "curled up" on the subatomic size scale.)

    Credit: NASA

    8. Computers

    The computer on the USS Enterprise is an important tool to help the crew find its way around the universe. During "The Original Series," the computer could do scans of a planet and let the crew know if the planet was M-class, or habitable. In later generations of "Star Trek," the computer could produce fanciful holodecks to play out detective stories. 

    "Today's computers entertain us with video games and movie special effects that are awesomely more spectacular than the special effects in the original 'Star Trek' show," Batchelor wrote. Examples include searching databases, exploring Mars or creating designs on the fly. Supercomputers have also helped us model weather and the origins of the universe. And while holodecks aren't possible yet, we do have crude virtual-reality headsets available.

    "Interestingly, the Internet was not predicted by 'Star Trek' visionaries, who remained focused on large, isolated computers," Batchelor added. But other technology thought of by the writers — such as universal translators — are too complicated and simply "a preposterous shortcut to keep the plot from faltering," he added.

    7. Deflector shields and tractor beams

    These technologies were useful when the Enterprise encountered other ships. If a Klingon ship fired upon the Enterprise, for example, deflector shields could direct the force of the attack away from the ship. A tractor beam, on the other hand, was useful for capturing a smaller ship.

    "We know how to deflect electrically charged objects using electromagnetic fields, and there are concepts for protecting space travelers from cosmic radiation this way. That's the only physics trick we know that resembles the powerful special effects of the Enterprise's shields," Batchelor wrote. 

    "We can also make big magnets that have some respectable attraction, and with the right electronic circuits regulating the strength of the magnets, we can imagine towing some kinds of metal objects through space," he added. "A beam that is projected at something to attract it is purely imaginary."

    13 Things 'Star Trek' Gets Right (and Wrong) About Space Tech - PART II

    6. Medical tech

    "Star Trek" features various medical devices capable of sealing and healing wounds immediately using some sort of ray (as seen in "Star Trek Beyond," to humorous effect). 

    While lasers are used today to seal (cauterize) some tissue wounds, or for dentistry, Batchelor wrote that healing rays are "just a medical miracle of the imaginary 24th century." There are some very rough analogues in use today, however. For example, some research shows that weak electric currents can make bones heal faster.

    5. Matter-antimatter generation

    The Enterprise relies on this technology for power, and Batchelor calls it one of the best scientific features of the starship. Antimatter and matter are said to be very volatile when they get close to each other, producing an explosion. That's pretty much what actually happens. Dilithium crystals, sadly, are just imaginary.

    "Antimatter has been created recently in microscopic quantities and is being studied to advance physics knowledge," Batchelor wrote. "But it isn't possible yet to produce amounts of antimatter that would be useful for fuel or power generation."

    Phasers

    4. Phasers

    These are energy blasters commonly used during "away missions," sort of like an advanced gun that is useful for self-defense. 

    "Phaser" stands for PHASed Energy Rectification, and, according to "Star Trek" writers, were seen as the next generation of lasers. While phasers use fanciful physics, the army does have phaser-like stun weapons that use microwaves on the skin, Batchelor wrote.

    3. Replicators

    These were commonly used on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" to give Deanna Troi her favorite chocolate treats, or to provide Jean-Luc Picard with the "tea, Earl Grey, hot" that he favored when relaxing in the captain's quarters. 

    Today, it is possible to carefully create objects using 3D printers, even aboard the ISS. These machines work by slowly building objects, layer by layer, out of plastic, polymers, metal or other materials.

    "We know how to create microchip circuits and experimental nanometer-scale objects by 'drawing' them on a surface with a beam of atoms," Batchelor wrote. "We can also suspend single atoms or small numbers of atoms within a trap made of electromagnetic fields, and experiment on them. That's as close as the replicator is to reality. Making solid matter from a pattern, as the replicator appears to do, is pretty farbeyond present physics." [3D Printing In Space: A New Dimension (Photo Gallery)]

    Sensors and tricorders

    2. Sensors and tricorders

    In "Star Trek," the Enterprise's sensors were often used to search for spaceships and other objects. Tricorders are miniaturized devices to look close-up at an object to determine, say, what kind of injury a crewmember sustained, or what a strange-looking rock was made of. A tricorder could even send an automated distress signal back to the Enterprise.

    Today, we have many kinds of sensors such as radar, sonar, laser ranging, vibration, gravimeters, energetic-particle detectors and light-wavelength detectors, Batchelor wrote. It's also possible to peer inside the human body (or other objects) using magnetic fields and radioactive detectors. Tricorders could be seen as a more advanced version of today's MRI machines, but the "Star Trek" sensors are likely not possible since they use (imaginary) subspace fields.

    "Here on Earth, the LIGO observatory [Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory] has detected gravitational waves, enabling scientists to study direct observations of faraway colliding stars that had become black holes long ago," Batchelor wrote. "The patterns of waves confirm Albert Einstein’s gravity theory (the general' theory of relativity). This is currently the most awesome kind of sensor in modern technology."

    1. Transportation

    "Star Trek" uses many modes of fanciful transportation to get around the universe:

    • Impulse engines: Rocket engines that run on fusion reactions. Batchelor wrote that this very advanced technology is not possible today, but it could happen in the future.
    • Ion drives: These engines accelerate ions (charged particles) using electricity. In real life, ion drives have been used on multiple spacecraft, including NASA's Dawn probe, which is currently orbiting the dwarf planet Ceres.
    • Time travel/wormhole travel: This is a famous "Star Trek" trope; for example, it was used to rescue whales of the 20th century in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home." But the mathematics and physics don't really hold up, Batchelor wrote; such travel would require "untested imaginary models where Einstein's relativity theory is stretched to its ultimate limits."
    • Transporters: These machines move people and equipment between a planet and a ship by dissolving an object or living being, and rematerializing it perfectly somewhere else. In the real world, atoms and photons have been transported, but nothing more complex yet. Better quantum computing would be needed to improve this technology, Batchelor wrote.
    • Warp interstellar drives: These engines propel starships between different stars or galaxies extremely quickly. Batchelor wrote that, while the warp drives in "Star Trek" are cool, they "violate known physics to an extent that can't be defended." That's because, he added, they "involve huge discharges of energy and subspace fields that aren't understood in today's science," unless something discovered in quantum theory overrides Einstein's work.

    Long-Ago Giant Impact May Have Created Moon's Mysterious Grooves

    Long-Ago Giant Impact May Have Created Moon's Mysterious Grooves
    Grooves and gashes associated with the Imbrium Basin on the moon have long been puzzling. New research suggests some of these features were formed after a protoplanet slammed into the moon long ago.

    A baby planet at least as large as New Jersey that smashed into the moon billions of years ago might have created the mysterious grooves that score the lunar surface, a new study suggests.

    This finding could shed light on a violent era of impacts that once bombarded Earth and the rest of the inner solar system, researchers said.

    Scientists investigated the area surrounding Mare Imbrium — Latin for "The Sea of Showers." This dark patch on the northwest quadrant on the near side of moon, the side that faces Earth, makes up the right eye of the "Man in the Moon." [The Moon: 10 Surprising Lunar Facts]

    Mare Imbrium lies within the Imbrium Basin, the largest basin on the near side of moon. Previous research suggested that the 720-mile-wide (1,160 kilometers) basin was created by a giant ancient cosmic impact, and was later filled with vast lakes of lava that cooled to become dark rock.

    Mare Imbrium is surrounded by grooves and gashes large enough to be seen from Earth even with small telescopes. These features, together known as the Imbrium Sculpture, are concentrated on Imbrium Basin's southeast side.

    Many elements of the Imbrium Sculpture radiate from the center of Imbrium Basin like spokes on a wheel. Previous research had suggested that the Imbrium Basin and Imbrium Sculpture were created by a giant asteroid impact about 3.8 billion years ago. This asteroid was apparently traveling from the northwest to the southeast and collided with the moon at an oblique angle rather than straight on, with debris spraying southeast along this trajectory.

    However, in addition to features radiating from Imbrium Basin's center, prior work discovered another set of grooves in the Imbrium Sculpture that did not spread out from the heart of the basin. Instead, they apparently came from a region northwest of the basin's center.

    Trajectories of debris ejected from the Imbrium impact basin on the moon determined by the orientations of grooves and elongate secondary craters (along with locations of the Apollo landing sites). One set does not converge; rather, it forms parallel trends that correspond to the fragments originating from different portions of the Imbrium asteroid, rather than ejecta from the moon.

    "This second set of grooves was a real mystery," study lead author Peter Schultz, an impact specialist at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island,said in a statement. "No one was quite sure where they came from."

    But Schultz and co-author David Crawford, of Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico,  may have solved the mystery. Their results suggest that the Imbrium Basin and Imbrium Sculpture were likely formed by a giant asteroid large enough to be classified as a protoplanet, or baby planet.

    To learn more about the impact that might have created the Imbrium, Schultz and Crawford performed hypervelocity-impact experiments using the Vertical Gun Range at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. These experiments involved a 14-foot (4.25 meters) cannon that fired small bullets at up to about 11,200 mph (18,000 km/h), while high-speed cameras and impact plates recorded details about the collisions.

    The scientists found that, during a low-angle impact, a high-speed projectile often started breaking up after making contact with a surface. The bottom of the projectile would create a crater, while the sides and top of the projectile would shear off and continue traveling at high speeds along the projectile's original trajectory to scour the surface. The grooves from these chunks would appear to originate from a point slightly offset from the crater generated by the bulk of the projectile — a gap about equal to the distance between the bottom of the projectile and its top and sides. [Asteroid Basics: A Space Rock Quiz]

    The researchers suggest that the mystery grooves of the Imbrium Sculpture were etched by chunks that sheared off the sides and top of the impacting asteroid when it hit the moon.

    "For Imbrium, as much as 25 percent of the asteroid may have detached from the actual collision," Schultz told Space.com. "Some of the fragments actually escaped the moon entirely."

    Computer models analyzing these grooves helped the scientists estimate the size of this "Imbrium Asteroid." Previous estimates suggested that the Imbrium Asteroid was only about 50 miles (80 km) wide. But these new findings suggest that the impactor was actually about 150 miles (250 km) across, or about the length of New Jersey. 

    Comparison of scours produced by the impactor in experiments (above) and those produced in a computational model of a 100-kilometer-diameter asteroid (red pattern, below). Physical processes affecting the fate of the projectile observed in the lab experiments at high speeds also apply at much larger scale.

    "That's actually a low-end estimate," Schultz said in a statement. "It's possible that it could have been as large as 300 kilometers [185 miles]."

    The scientists also found that several other basins on the moon may have been created by oblique impacts from protoplanets. For instance, they estimated that the Moscoviense and Orientale basins on the moon's far side may have been created by asteroids about 62 and 68 miles (100 and 110 km) across, respectively — larger than previous estimates.

    All in all, the researchers suggest that protoplanets may have once been common in the asteroid belt. "The large basins we see on the moon and elsewhere are the record of lost giants," Schultz said in a statement.

    Material from protoplanets smashing into thhttp://www.space.com/e moon could help explain why lunar samples that NASA's Apollo missions brought back to Earth had high levels of meteoritic rock. This was especially true of the Apollo 16 mission, which landed downrange from the Imbrium impact.

    The scientists added that collisions with these protoplanets might explain many of the impacts that battered the moon and the rest of the inner solar system during a violent era known as the Late Heavy Bombardment between 4.1 billion and 3.7 billion years ago. Thousands of chunks that sheared off the Imbrium Asteroid and other protoplanets would have kept going after impact, flying off into space to continue striking other bodies.

    "These chips off the old blocks could have contributed significantly to the impact record we see on the moon and other terrestrial planets," Schultz said in a statement.

    Schultz and Crawford detailed their findings online today (July 20) in thejournal Nature.

    Get Ready, Space Tourists: FAA Issues License For Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo

    IN BRIEF

    The FAA-AST has just issued an operator license to Virgin Galactic to operate its SpaceShipTwo. The craft also had a test of its taxiing skills, which coincided with the approval.

    Virgin Galactic has been quietly trying to lick its wounds ever since a crash in late 2014 stalled its space ambitions for a few years. But now it has a brand new ship and a lot of high hopes for their future in space travel.

    And now, they are a step closer to realizing those ambitions, after getting federal approval for their spacecraft. The US Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA-AST) has just issued an operator license to Virgin Galactic to operate its SpaceShipTwo.

    And it celebrated by taking a walk.

    undefined
    Virgin Galactic

    The FAA-AST granted the license after an in-depth review of the vehicles system design, safety analysis, and flight trajectory analysis, which made up several years of in-depth interaction with regulatory bodies.

    The approval coincides with a SpaceShipTwo taxi test, an important milestone in testing and prepping the ship for launch.

    Voyager 1 and 2 are still exploring the solar system, since almost 40 years ago, when the Voyager spacecrafts were first launched back in 1977.

    The Voyager spacecrafts have traveled further in space than anything ever, with the Voyager 2 successfully making its way to Uranus and Neptune, and both spacecrafts having flown by Saturn and Jupiter.

    In an effort to honor the Voyager space program, Santiago Menghini created the film Voyagers utilizing real photographs and plasma frequencies received by the Voyager spacecrafts.

    The result is rather incredible.

    Travel along with the Voyager spacecrafts as they traverse the solar system on their planetary expedition spanning over three decades.

    This film showcases the images and sounds of the solar system through the real photographs and plasma frequencies received by the Voyager spacecrafts.

    The use of sci-fi technology in war would change the realities of warfare in the  future. Scientists and engineers from a British defense giant BAE Systems is researching sci-fi technology. The company believes that in just 25 years from now a lot of game-changing technology will be in use.

    Recently, BAE Systems unveiled four futuristic technologies which could revolutionize future warfare.

    The first idea involves installing on-board 3D printers: These 3D printers could print crucial metal parts, alloys or mini-drones while in the middle of a mission. The printed drones could be readily deployed during a mission.

    The second concept is developing self healing fighter jets that can repair itself in mid air after suffering battle damage. Aircraft using nanotechnology can repair any battle-damage as soon as it happens.

    SCIENTISTS UNVEIL AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGIES OF THE FUTURE

    A third revolutionary idea is aircraft using ‘transformer’ technology….aircraft which could split in the air when approaching a warzone. The ‘transformer’ technology will allow a transformer aircraft splitting into several different planes, each with its own mission like dropping supplies, bombing or carrying out surveillance.  All split aircrafts could join back the main aircraft after completing their tasks.

    The fourth and final technology is a laser weapon that is capable of firing a concentrated beam of energy at the speed of light commonly known as lasers. BAE scientists plan to use directed energy systems (DES) as an attachment weapon for aircraft to engage and destroy attacking missiles.

    UFO Culture and Beliefs….why they’re so significant today

    ufo-culture-the-christian-science-monitor

    (photo, courtesy of UFO Culture, The Christian Science Monitor)

    Like the overwhelming majority of the world’s astronomers and scientists, I do not discount the possibility that we are not alone in the universe. Most likely we arenot alone, even though we still have no definite evidence for it.
    (I am talking about already fully developed, sentient intelligent life…….not just micro-organisms).

    At the same time, however, the overwhelming, vast majority in the scientific community have been skeptical when it comes to UFOs as conclusive evidence that we have been (or are being) visited by physical aliens in physical alien spacecraft of any kind.

    As far as I am concerned, the bottom line is that we have not yet been presented with any single globally accepted physical, tangible, solid, as well as irrefutable documentary evidence of such, so far.

    But all this does not mean that the study of the UFO phenomenon has no intrinsic value.

    Ufology is an important study and will continue to be so as long as the “UFO phenomenon” is not conclusively solved.

    However, as for myself, I am more interested in the study of its culture and beliefsand the impact of such beliefs on society in general.

    Such study (on UFO Culture and Beliefs) is far more interesting and significant than the seemingly illusive, never-ending pursuit of the UFO phenomenon itself.

    As I have stated time and time again, the subject of “UFOs” is the most important subject matter that I can think of because it involves everything and even seems to affect one’s worldview.

    It is a fascinating study about human psychology and the role of “beliefs” that poses the question what is reality?”

    Yes, “UFOs” have become a social, cultural and psychological phenomenon.

    Some even say that such beliefs are much needed for some folks who may feel the urge to believe in something or something that gives them a sense of “hope” (in tandem with religious beliefs), especially in these troubling, uncertain age of global economic, social and political crises.

    Add to all this the role of the Internet.
    The Internet has revolutionized how information as well as misinformation can be accessed instantaneously.
    For many gullible folks among a segment of the society (and there are many such folks in the so-called UFO Community) the Internet has become a cesspool of totally unfounded “facts” created by hucksters and hoaxters so much so that even college-educated folks seem to fall into it. Such hucksters and hoaxsters have become so skillful in their “art forms” that it is becoming harder and harder for many folks to distinguish what is true information and what is misinformation.

    P.S.

    A question was raised by a reader: “Norio, as a point of interest – –what evidence supporting extraterrestrial visitation do deem credible?”

    My answer is:

    The only evidence acceptable would be the revelation of their actual physical spacecraft (i.e., if the phenomenon is fully physical), along with the revelation of its occupants in front of the global press, the global scientific community and the public-at-large at a globally recognized and viewable venue (such as in the lawn of the White House, or in Central Park or any publicly recognized venue), along with the total live global TV simulcast coverage of the revelation.

    FBI Files: Historical Figures & Groups - PART I

    The following are FBI files of important people throughout history and important events.

    Many of the files are broken into different parts, for easier downloading.

    Declassified Historical Figure & Groups FBI Files

    William Albertson Albertson, William – [ 2,563 Pages, 125.3 MB ] – William Albertson, an American communist party leader who in 1964 was the subject of a snitch jacket, an FBI project to forge and plant a fictional report identifying him as an informant for the Bureau. (Source: GovernmentAttic.org)
    saul alinsky Alinsky, Saul – [ 462 Pages, 31.7 MB ] – Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 – June 12, 1972) was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his 1971 book Rules for Radicals. In the course of nearly four decades of political organizing, Alinsky received much criticism, but also gained praise from many public figures. His organizing skills were focused on improving the living conditions of poor communities across North America. In the 1950s, he began turning his attention to improving conditions in the African-American ghettos, beginning with Chicago’s and later traveling to other ghettos in California, Michigan, New York City, and a dozen other “trouble spots”. His ideas were adapted in the 1960s by some U.S. college students and other young counterculture-era organizers, who used them as part of their strategies for organizing on campus and beyond. Time magazine wrote in 1970 that “It is not too much to argue that American democracy is being altered by Alinsky’s ideas.” Conservative author William F. Buckley, Jr. said in 1966 that Alinsky was “very close to being an organizational genius”.
    Neil Armstrong Armstrong, Neil – [ 18 Pages, 0.8 MB ] – Neil Alden Armstrong (1930-2012) was a naval aviator and U.S. astronaut. This release consists of 18 pages of FBI file references to Armstrong ranging from 1969 to 1985 relating primarily to requests for FBI name checks in consideration of executive appointment; no derogatory personnel information was found. Redactions were made primarily to protect the privacy of living persons.
    Letitia Baldrige Baldrige, Letitia – [ 34 Pages, 1.53 MB ] – Letitia Baldrige (February 9, 1926 – October 29, 2012) was an American etiquette expert and public relations executive who was most famous for serving as Jacqueline Kennedy’s Social Secretary.

    Guy Bannister Banister, Guy [ 297 Pages, 32.9 MB ] –
     Banister, Guy – Release #2 [ 335 Pages, 20.3 MB ] – William Guy Banister (March 7, 1901 – June 6, 1964) was an employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an Assistant Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department, and a private investigator. After his death, he gained notoriety from allegations made by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison that he had been involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  He was an avid anti-communist, alleged member of the Minutemen, the John Birch Society, Louisiana Committee on Un-American Activities, and alleged publisher of the Louisiana Intelligence Digest. He also supported various anti-Castro groups in the New Orleans area: “Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front”; “Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean”; “Friends of Democratic Cuba”. According to the New Orleans States-Item newspaper, “Guy [Banister] participated in every anti-Communist South and Central American revolution that came along, acting as a key liaison man for the U.S. government-sponsored anti-Communist activities in Latin America.”
    Bernard Barker Barker, Bernard Leon (FBI File) – [ 352 Pages, 23.57 MB ]
     Barker, Bernard Leon (Secret Service File) – [ 18 Pages, 0.9 MB ]- Bernard Leon Barker (March 17, 1917 – June 5, 2009) was a Watergate burglar. He had a long career as an undercover operative.
    John Wilkes BoothBooth, John Wilkes – [ File #1 | File #2 | File #3 | File #4 ] – These records contain correspondence dated 1922-23 of William J. Burns, former Director of the Bureau of Investigation, concerning a theory that Booth lived many years after the assassination of President Lincoln. Also included are the results of a 1948 examination by the FBI Laboratory of a boot said to be worn by Booth on the night of the assassination and a 1977 examination of a diary belonging to Booth.
    juanmaribras Bras, Juan Mari – [19 Pages, 14MB ] – Juan Mari Brás (December 2, 1927 – September 10, 2010) was an advocate for Puerto Rican independence from the United States who founded the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP). On October 25, 2006, he became the first person to receive a Puerto Rican citizenship certificate from the Puerto Rico State Department. These documents were obtained, after a FOIA appeal.
    burningman Burning Man – [19 Pages, 6.7 MB ] – Burning Man is an annual gathering that takes place at Black Rock City—a temporary community erected in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. The event is described as an experiment in community and art, influenced by 10 main principles, including “radical” inclusion, self-reliance and self-expression, as well as community cooperation, gifting and decommodification, and leaving no trace. First held in 1986 on Baker Beach in San Francisco as a small function organized by Larry Harvey and a group of friends, it has since been held annually, spanning from the last Sunday in August to the first Monday in September (the U.S. Labor Day); for example, Burning Man 2015 took place August 30 – September 7, 2015.
    D.B. Cooper Cooper, D.B. – [ 161 Pages, 27.7 MB ] – D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,160,000 in 2015), and parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified. The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history!

    Paul Crouch

In the early morning hours of August 1, 1966, Whitman murdered his wife and mother in their homes. Later that day, he brought a number of guns, including rifles, a shotgun, and handguns, to the campus of the University of Texas at Austin where, over an approximate 90 to 95 minute period, he killed 14 people and wounded 32 others in a mass shooting in and around the Tower. Whitman shot and killed three people inside the university’s tower and eleven others after firing at random from the 28th-floor observation deck of the Main Building. Whitman was shot and killed by Austin police officer Houston McCoy.

    Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Documents on Unidentified Submerged Objects or USOs

    Background

    According to the NAVY, the NCIS has the following mission:

    The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is the federal law enforcement agency charged with conducting investigations of felony-level offenses affecting the Navy and Marine Corps – that is, crimes punishable by confinement for more than one year.

    NCIS also performs investigations and operations aimed at identifying and neutralizing foreign intelligence, international terrorist, and cyber threats to the Department of the Navy.

    In addition, it provides warning of threats and specialized defensive force protection support to U.S. naval forces around the world.

    Recently, I requested a copy of all NCIS investigations, which involved USOs and other unidentified objects found in the water.

    To my surprise, some documents came up.

    They can be downloaded below:
