VIDEO: Ontploffing SpaceX-raket veroorzaakt door UFO?
VIDEO: Ontploffing SpaceX-raket veroorzaakt door UFO?
Er zijn beelden opgedoken van een object dat langs het lanceerplatform in Cape Canaveral in Florida vliegt op het moment dat daar een Falcon-testraket van SpaceX ontploft. Dat melden Britse media.
SpaceX sprak op Twitter van ‘een anomalie’ op het lanceerplatform. Deze term wordt door overheden vaak gebruikt voor UFO’s. Volgens sceptici is het gewoon een insect of een vogel.
De Falcon 9 had een satelliet voor Facebook moeten lanceren. De satelliet kostte 195 miljoen dollar en was gemaakt door Israel Aerospace. Facebook wil in de toekomst internettoegang aanbieden in afgelegen en arme delen van Afrika. Dat project heet internet.org.
Tot in de wijde omgeving waren grote zwarte rookpluimen te zien. Gebouwen stonden te schudden op hun grondvesten van de zware klap. SpaceX is het belangrijkste commerciële ruimtevaartbedrijf. Tegen betaling brengt het satellieten in een baan rond de aarde. Daarnaast brengt het voorraden naar het internationale ruimtestation ISS.
Druk gediscussieerd
De explosie is een nieuwe tegenslag voor SpaceX. In januari viel vlak voor een lancering een raket om. Ook werden lanceringen regelmatig uitgesteld door problemen.
Het filmpje waar het allemaal om te doen is, werd door Graphics King op YouTube geplaatst en is inmiddels ruim 100.000 keer bekeken. Onder de video wordt druk gediscussieerd over de herkomst van het mysterieuze object.

VIDEO: Is element 115 het geheim achter de buitenaardse voortstuwing?
Het Amerikaanse leger heeft lange tijd ontkend dat in 1947 iets anders dan een weerballon is gecrasht nabij Roswell. In 2011 openbaarde de FBI echter een memo gericht aan J. Edgar Hoover over de berging van drie ‘vliegende schotels’, zo meldt tv-zender History.
Sommigen zeggen dat Roswell slechts het topje van de ijsberg is en dat wereldwijd nog veel meer UFO’s op aarde zijn neergekomen. De wrakstukken zouden verborgen worden gehouden op geheime legerbases zoals Area 51 in Nevada, Kapoestin Jar in Rusland, Pine Gap in Australië, Rudloe Manor in Engeland en zelfs in afgelegen gebieden in China.
In 2013 bevestigden wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Lund in Zweden het bestaan van een nieuw element. De Zweedse onderzoekers voerden experimenten uit die hen in staat stelden de ‘vingerafdruk’ van het nieuwe, zeer zware element waar te nemen.
Negen buitenaardse ruimteschepen
Element 115
Het nieuwe element kreeg de naam ununpentium mee, maar die naam – die refereert aan de 115e plaats in het periodiek systeem – is slechts tijdelijk. Hoewel wetenschappers nog maar weinig weten over dit element, lijkt het verband te houden met plutonium, dat onder meer gebruikt wordt voor experimentele raketbrandstof.
In mei 1989 verklaarde een man genaamd Bob Lazar op de Amerikaanse televisie dat hij in Area 51 had gewerkt aan de ontmanteling van UFO’s. In één van die UFO’s ontdekte hij naar eigen zeggen het geheim van de buitenaardse voortstuwing: element 115, een voor aardse fysici toen nog onbereikbaar onderdeel van het periodiek systeem.
Enkele jaren later, in mei 1993, zei Lazar tijdens een bijeenkomst dat de Amerikaanse overheid negen buitenaardse ruimteschepen in bezit had, waarvan er tenminste één operationeel was.
Speciaal soort metaal
Eind 2015 ontwikkelden wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Californië een speciaal soort metaal dat extreem sterk en tegelijkertijd extreem licht is. Het metaal is bovendien erg flexibel en bestand tegen extreme hitte.
Volgens sommigen vertoont dit metaal veel gelijkenis met het metaal dat tijdens de Roswell-crash zou zijn verzameld door majoor Jesse Marcel. “De meeste voorwerpen waren buitengewoon licht. Het ging om erg dun en sterk materiaal dat vrijwel niets woog,” zegt de Canadese kerngeleerde Stanton Friedman.
“De Amerikaanse overheid liegt al zeven decennia over Roswell,” verklaart de Canadese oud-minister van Defensie Paul Hellyer. “De Verenigde Staten doen nog steeds alsof het hen niet interesseert en ze er niets over weten. Niets is minder waar.”

The incident occurred about 10:30 a.m. on May 26, 2016.
“I was in my upstairs living room when I happened to glance out my window,” the witness stated.“I noticed a white and grey angular object fly silently by in front of the trees in a straight line, coming from the direction of some power lines.”
The witness said the object was moving at the tree top level and was silent as it moved through Revere, MA.

The witness described the object.
“It was a little bigger than a basketball and shaped like a star. It had no wings, propellers or any kind of propulsion that I could see. I was stunned by the sight, but did not feel threatened.”
The object was fast-moving.
“It flew quickly out of sight and I did not have time to grab my camera. I did not tell the neighbors because I didn’t think that they would understand. They would say that I was crazy.”
The fast moving object did not allow the witness to capture a photograph or video. Pictured: Revere, MA.

Revere is a city in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, population 51,755.
No photos or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on August 19, 2016. The witness did submit one illustration of the object. Massachusetts Field Investigator Eric Hartwig is investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
An Arizona witness at Chandler reported watching a sphere-shaped UFO appear and disappear five times over a three-hour span, according to testimony in Case 78571 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The object appeared five times over a three-hour period. Image is a cropped and enlarged still frame frame from the witness video.

The witness broke down the three sightings and provided three video clips from the events that began about 9:15 p.m. on August 19, 2016.
“Sighting #18/19/16 (around 9:15p.m. -9:22p.m. PST) – no video,” the witness stated.“The first event occurred northeast of Chandler, Arizona, where I, along with two of my friends noticed an extremely bright light radiating in the sky. As we positioned ourselves better to see what was going on, we noticed two smaller lights below the larger one in the shape of an equilateral triangle.”

The witness described movements of the lights.
“After a few minutes of hovering without movement, the light on the bottom left disappears, followed by the bottom right light, leaving only the larger light, which slowly began moving and creeping towards the west until it too disappeared after a minute.”

The witness did not record the first event.
“We were in absolute awe over what we just saw, that is until one hour later when it returned.”
The witness recounts the second encounter.

“The following is a description of each video I recorded, along with time stamps for verification. Sighting #2 8/19/16(10:22p.m. -10:27p.m. PST). I recorded two videos of the second sighting. Unfortunately, I did a fairly poor job recording this particular event, but I have two videos of even #2 where you can definitely see the object. Sighting #3 8/19/16 (10:47p.m. -10:52p.m. PST). Okay, this is where you can really start seeing the weird that’s going down. You can see in the beginning a plane flying overhead, clearly moving faster and with the lights blinking like a normal plane, yet the object below is either hovering, or just moving slowly to the west. At 0:56, I zoomed into the object, but the craziest part was at 1:04 when the light flashes then changes from a whole orb into an eerie, doughnut-shaped circle (I did not change the zoom at the moment it changed shape and turned from a single orb into its doughnut-shape).”
The witness did not notice the change.
“I didn’t even notice the doughnut shape until I watched it afterwards since I was holding the phone above my head. During the last minute or so it had moved out of my line of sight so I’m pretty sure the blinking object during or around 4:20 was just a plane.”

The witness details the next sighting.
“Sighting #4 8/19/16 (11:09p.m. -11:12p.m. PST). Almost 30 minutes later it came back, except unlike with Sightings #2 and #3, there was a second light.They hovered side-by-side for a couple minutes. Unfortunately for this one, I missed recording the craziest part, when after two minutes of hovering still, one of the lights suddenly orbits behind the other, and then disappears. Sighting #5 8/20/16 (12:11a.m. -12:13a.m. PST). An hour later, the light returned, but this time back as one light again. We wanted to get a better view so we walked around the neighborhood to find a better angle. None of the videos were edited, altered, or tampered with in any way. I’ve been searching online all day today trying to find other people who witnessed one or more of the events. I truly want to believe that what I saw was extra-terrestrial, however, I can’t for sure prove that it was. I would love to know if anyone else has recordings, an idea of what this was, or can help breakdown this footage to provide a more rational explanation.”

Humanity has a long history with reports of odd things seen in Earth’s skies. For decades, reports of unidentified flying objects have captured the public imagination, with particular emphasis on descriptions of things likened to “flying saucers”, and more recently, large, ominous triangle-shaped craft that occasionally plod their way through the night sky at fairly low altitudes.

Harkening back to the early days of modern UFOlogy, there were reports of other things, as well. Beginning in the early 1950s, astronomers began to detect a number of unusual satellites circling the Earth, some of which moved against the natural spin of the planet in a retrograde orbit.
Today, the observation of such satellites is quite commonplace, and on any clear night, one can step out into a field or other area relatively free from city lights, and observe any number of objects reflecting sunlight as they traverse the sky overhead. However, until the launch of Sputnik I by the Russian space agency in 1957, there were no artificial satellites believed to have been launched into orbit, let alone any rockets powerful enough to carry one into space. Despite this, a number of odd observations occurred in those early days of the Space Age, many of which remain unidentified to this day.
The mystery all seemed to have begun around 1954, with a number of newspapers that featured stories quoting UFO proponent Donald Keyhoe, who around that time had overheard that the U.S. Air Force was monitoring two mysterious satellites orbiting Earth. Granted, at the time there shouldn’t have existed any technology capable of launching such a satellite into orbit; some further assert that Keyhoe’s statements had merely been in support of a new UFO book he had published. This might seem plausible, if not for the fact that Keyhoe revisited the “mystery satellite” cases from the 1950s in 1973, with the publication of his book Aliens From Space: The Real Story of Unidentified Flying Objects, which examined in greater depth the various observations of mystery satellites. In other words, it seems unlikely that Keyhoe brought up or borrowed the notion of mystery satellites purely as a publicity stunt.

Long-time UFO researcher and NICAP member Fran Ridge is also one who has taken note of these odd reports, discussing them in a lengthy article last year at the NICAP website. “At first there were reports in the 1950’s,” he said, “followed by reports in 1960, and more recently the reports of a Dark Star Satellite.” This “Dark Star” Ridge refers to here is, of course, the infamous “Black Knight Satellite”, an object that has appeared in many NASA photos over the last few years. Many continue to assert that the object is something akin to a 13,000 year old alien “probe” placed in Earth orbit by extraterrestrials long ago, with intent of studying the proceedings of human evolution as it ensued below. However, much to the chagrin of its proponents as a “genuine” alien vessel, the object that is commonly referenced as evidence of a “Black Knight Satellite” is well known to have been identified as a discarded thermal blanket from one of NASA’s EVA missions.
SWASTIKA GRAANCIRKEL AANWIJZING VOOR KOMST NIBIRU ( VIDEO )
SWASTIKA GRAANCIRKEL AANWIJZING VOOR KOMST NIBIRU (VIDEO )
Alhoewel de meeste mensen onmiddellijk de asocoatie maken met Hitler bij het zien van de swastika als symbool, staat het in werkelijkheid voor heel iets anders.
De swastika als pictogram staat voor de Schwarze Sonne met zijn vier planeten, oftewel de rode dwergplaneet waar omheen vier planeten dansen.
Eerder deze week publiceerden wij een artikel over een graancirkel in de vorm van een Swastika zoals die is gevonden in Engeland vorige week.
Het ging om de volgende graancirkel:
Naar aanleiding hiervan ontvingen wij van Evert Jan Poorterman, onbetwist uw Nibiru specialist, het volgende:
De swastika is door de Nazi’s gebruikt omdat ze kennis hebben van de betekenis. In één van mijn afleveringen haal ik dat ook aan. De swastika als pictogram staat voor de Schwarze Sonne met zijn vier planeten, ofwel de rode dwergplaneet waaromheen vier planeten dansen.
Het ‘hakenkruis’ is opgebouwd uit die twee ‘essen’- SS. Alle volken in alle culturen en beschavingen zijn op de hoogte van de aanwezigheid van die tweede ster met zijn planeten.
Ik struikel sinds ik het weet met regelmaat over de vele vele aanwijzingen (getuige al dat materiaal voor zo veel afleveringen).
Helemaal onderaan een gewas formatie uit 2015 in Engeland (nabij Ox drove - geen toeval uiteraard want een Ox is een Os en dat is een Stier en dat heeft weer alles met de stierster te maken)...
De Nazi’s wisten vast en zeker dat de ster in aantocht was maar het was nog niet hun tijd om de wereld over te nemen...
Dat willen/moeten de Chazaren ook, dus werden de Duitsers twee maal in een vernietigende oorlog gezogen en vernietigd...
Der is meer maar met onze nieuwe inzichten waren de ‘deutschers’ en dan doel ik op de leiders misschien helemaal niet zo fout als wij denken en moeten we de ellende van twee wereldoorlogen zoeken bij de Chazaren die zich voordoen als de Joden maar dat niet zijn...
Vergeet niet dat de Nederlanders/Duitsers de taal van de Anunnaki spreken.
Dat is geen toeval omdat de blanken het laatste door Enki verbeterde subras zijn. Wij zijn zijn zaad en daarom wil Enlil alles wat blank is nu definitief uitwissen.
Dat zal en moet nu gebeuren. Handlangers bovengronds zoals eerder aangehaald; de Chazaren. Die worden al in boek Genesis genoemd voor er sprake is van de twaalf stammen Israëls (die wij ook zijn).
Ze hebben haast en eigenlijk weten ze al dat ze het niet redden... en daarom roepen ze; ‘Wir schaffen das’!
AUSTRALISCH GEZIN SCHRIKT ZICH EEN HOEDJE DOOR EEN ENORME UFO (VIDEO)
AUSTRALISCH GEZIN SCHRIKT ZICH EEN HOEDJE DOOR EEN ENORME UFO (VIDEO)
Een vader is op een vroege avond met zijn twee zoontjes aan het spelen in de tuin, wanneer ze opeens een enorm object in de lucht zien hangen.
Volgens de omschrijving van de man uit Queensland in Australië was het object driehoekig van vorm en 100 keer groter dan een vliegtuig.
Een afgelegen en wild gebied is de hoogvlakte Atherton Tableland in de Australische deelstaat Queensland.
Het Atherton Tableland is een hoogvlakte ten zuidwesten van Cairns in de Australische deelstaat Queensland. De hoogte van het Atherton Tableland bedraagt tussen de 600 en 900 meter. Het Atherton Tableland maakt deel uit van het Groot Australisch Scheidingsgebergte, dat parallel aan de Australische oostkust loopt. De belangrijkste rivier in het gebied is de Barron river, met een stuwdam waarachter het Tinaroomeer ligt.
Kyle Mathiot en zijn partner Deborah wonen met hun twee kinderen in het plaatsje Herberton in Queensland.
Kyle was afgelopen zaterdagavond rond een uur of half acht in de tuin met zijn twee zoontjes toen ze iets vreemds ontwaarden in de lucht.
“We zagen opeens een vreemd licht in de lucht en dat was veel te groot om een ster te kunnen zijn”, zei Kyle.
“Ik greep de telefoon van mijn partner en begon met het nemen van foto’s en toen plotseling waren er nog twee lichten in de vorm van een driehoek met voorop een groot licht en twee andere aan het einde.
Het object bleef ongeveer een half uur stil hangen in de lucht en dat gaf Kyle de gelegenheid om nog wat foto’s te nemen.
“Het object vloog heen en weer zoals een vliegtuig of een drone dat nooit zou kunnen doen. In de lucht leken de lichten een paar centimeter van elkaar verwijderd. Het was absoluut geen drone en het was wel honderd keer groter dan een vliegtuig”.
Kyle zegt dat hij volkomen overdonderd was door de grootte van het object. Iets dat in de slechte kwaliteit foto’s niet tot hun recht komt omdat er referentiekaders ontbreken.
Volgens het Australische ministerie van Defensie was er op dat moment geen enkel toestel van hen in die regio in de lucht.
De plaatselijke UFO organisatie die een onderzoek instelt, heeft ook geen verklaring, behalve het feit dat de waarneming echt is omdat alle getuigen dit ook met het blote oog hebben gezien.
UFO’s hoeven niet altijd buitenaards te zijn, ze kunnen ook afkomstig zijn uit geheime militaire, aardse (reversed) technologie.
Misschien betreft het bovenstaande geval wel de TR3B Astra.
De mysterieuze vliegende zwarte driehoek wordt waargenomen op verschillende locaties over de hele wereld.
Videobeelden van de TR3B Astra boven Parijs
Veel mensen verwarren dit vliegend object met een UFO, terwijl het dat niet is, wel zit er UFO technologie in verwerkt.
Van de TR-3B wordt algemeen aangenomen dat het een product is van het "Aurora" zwart-project. Volgens verschillende bronnen is dit de top van de geheime projecten. Dit geheime project van de V.S. kost $ 3 miljard per object en onlangs zijn er 3 TR-3B Astra’s aan Israel verkocht.
De TR-3B is een nucleair aangedreven vliegende driehoek, in staat tot fenomenale snelheden. Het toestel kan door reactieve elektrische stimulatie van kleur en van uiterlijk veranderen en een andere vorm aannemen of onzichtbaar worden voor het menselijk oog.
De TR-3B Astra bevat een plasmaveld versneller annex magnetisch veld verstoorder ('disruptor') , waardoor de massa van het toestel incl. inzittenden met 90% verkleind zou kunnen worden, zodat de zwaartekracht nauwelijks invloed heeft op de prestaties van het toestel.
Mede hierdoor zou de snelheid boven Mach 50 uit komen, ter vergelijking: de meeste gevechtsvliegtuigen hebben Mach 2. (Mach 1 is gelijk aan de snelheid van het geluid).
Daarnaast zou de Astra uitgerust zijn met een deeltjesversneller/pulselasers, 'scalaire' wapens (waardoor de vijand zo verward wordt, dat men vrijwillig de wapens neerlegt) en tevens 40 neutronenbommen.
Menselijk of buitenaards, het gezin in Australië is zich een hoedje geschrokken.

Alien UFO DESTROYS Space X Rocket On Launch Pad, Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 1, 2016 Location of sighting: Space X launch site A UFO was seen above the Space X rocket, upon there very second of its massive explosion. The UFO had no wings and looks similar to a car size disk. If aliens are responsible for destroying this rocket, you can sure as heck believe its for a higher level reason. This makes me wonder if Elon Musk has betrayed the publics trust by allowing the US gov to load a spy satellite or weapons satellite on board this rocket. You know, when you see aliens involved in an explosion of a rocket, that the rocket could have had massively bad implications on humanities future. It looks like Space X is becoming an arms dealer of weapons of mass destruction. Just lucky the aliens destroyed it, before it started WWIII. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Steve Svensson states:
It appears that SpaceX may have been shot by a very fast moving drone, or possibly an explosive in the satellite was triggered? We all know people love to hate Elon Musk.

Here is a great close up of a metallic classic disk, which are common among the W56 alien base at Rocca Pia, and also was seen at Cape of Good Hope, all the way to a UFO I found in an Apollo 14 NASA photo.
UFOs are often seen during sunset, due to the angle of the sun and the eyewitness, but this one was also seen in a storm cloud, which could mean it was causing the storm itself from its propulsion.
I was on my deck, right after a rain storm, taking pictures of the skyline. I didn't see anything until I uploaded my photos and noticed a gray streak in one of the pictures. I enlarged the area and was amazed by what I saw. It was a clear image of what looked like a flying saucer. You could see three lights/windows on the top of the craft.
UFOs often try to cloak in plain site by making themselves appear as clouds...which some are...but then...others are not. Its possible that these UFOs came from within the mouth of Fuji volcano and began forming a disk cloud around them to wait for other UFOs to exit Fuji. Once all UFOs have exited and all are cloaked, they will slowly move off and up until out of sight. The UFO themselves are not as big as the cloud around them...instead they are usually about 5-10% the size of these large clouds, but the clouds sometimes continue to expand around them until they decide the comfortable size to hide within. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Eyewitness states: A baby cloud had born at dawn. The baby cloud had grown bigger and bigger than before. When it came the time of the morning glow, It had grown to many huge lenticular clouds. It looked like UFO formation.
A UFO enthusiast from Lewisham, who saw unidentified flying objects moving towards the Thames Barrier, is hoping to find open-minded sky gazers to help him identify what he saw in the heavens.
Andrew Burlington of Cliffview Road saw the fleet of UFOs on the horizon heading towards Charlton on August 12. Burlington, 40, was on a family outing when the incident took place.
The computer technician was with his two young nephews at the time, but his parents Les and Sandra Burlington, 70 and 69, were not around as they bought a parking ticket.
Andrew initially thought those objects as balloons as they were spherical and some had something small hanging from them.
However, when they were soon out of view, the last object in the fleet seemed to lose altitude and flash many times before slowly turning invisible.
Andrew believes that a UFO mothership was above the Thames Barrier releasing smaller flying objects because a long mysterious object shoots across the sky at the beginning of the clip.
It wasn’t the first time Andrew spotted strange things in the sky. In 2013, he released several videos on a YouTube channel under the name of Victor Nevada. It was the first experience of his nephews Ewan and Finley, 11 and 8, though.
Andrew captured the phenomenon on video using his digital camera. When he played the footage in slow motion, he noticed a different type of flying object traveling very quickly. He did not know if it was a long insect or a cigar-shaped UFO.
He also spotted a smaller, darker object flying around in all directions at the start of the video. Andrew could not rule out a bird, but it could be a black triangular or V-shaped UFO.
Andrew is hoping that more witnesses would help him find out more about what they witnessed.
3.7 Billion Year Old Fossils Found in Greenland Bring Us Closer to Life’s Origin
3.7 Billion Year Old Fossils Found in Greenland Bring Us Closer to Life’s Origin
Allen Nutman/University of Wollongong
IN BRIEF
Scientists have found the oldest, known fossils in Issua, Greenland, at 3.7 billion years old. Although still in the process of confirming, this discovery will raise the chances of life for desolate planets, like Mars, eons ago.
ORIGINS OF LIFE
When did life on earth begin? For years, we’ve been digging deeper and deeper through geologic records to answer this question. Now, with some thanks to global warming, scientists may have found the oldest known evidence of life, pushing its origin another 220 million years to 3.7 billion years into the past.
Fossilized within the rocks of Isua in Greenland, researchers found tiny, conically topped, flat based, layered structures of about one to four centimeters tall, on the rocks’ surface.
After thorough examination, scientists claim that these structures were the work of a swarm of microorganisms called stromatolites. This bacteria is usually present in ancient rocks previously found on the planet—pushing back the origin of life when Earth’s skies were still orange and its oceans green.

SURVIVING THE HELLSCAPE
The discovery was actually made 4 years ago, but the team wanted to be absolutely sure before announcing the find. The general scientific community will need some more convincing, but as for co-author Martin Van Kranendonk, of the University of New South Wales, he’s “absolutely convinced.” This discovery will show that life on the planet may have taken form quicker and easier, than once thought, after the planet’s birth—raising the chances of life, eons ago, for other seemingly desolate planets, like Mars.
“This indicates the Earth was no longer some sort of hell 3.7 billion years ago,” lead authorAllen Nutman, of the University of Wollongong, told Reuters of the findings that were published in the journal Nature. “It was a place where life could flourish,” he added. Similar early life on Mars now seem less of a long shot.
It’s understandable to doubt the origins of life beginning 3.7 billion years ago, given the conditions on Earth. At that time, oceans were frozen, and rains of cataclysmic meteorites kept on turning Earth’s surface into molten lava. These hellish conditions, even on their own, could have prevented life from flourishing. These findings could be the proof that they didn’t.
As Dr. Abigail C. Allwood, of the California Institute of Technology, wrote, “life is not a fussy, reluctant and unlikely thing…Give it half a chance, and it’ll run with it.”

This bacteria is usually present in ancient rocks previously found on the planet—pushing back the origin of life when Earth’s skies were still orange and its oceans green.

SURVIVING THE HELLSCAPE
The discovery was actually made 4 years ago, but the team wanted to be absolutely sure before announcing the find. The general scientific community will need some more convincing, but as for co-author Martin Van Kranendonk, of the University of New South Wales, he’s “absolutely convinced.” This discovery will show that life on the planet may have taken form quicker and easier, than once thought, after the planet’s birth—raising the chances of life, eons ago, for other seemingly desolate planets, like Mars.
“This indicates the Earth was no longer some sort of hell 3.7 billion years ago,” lead authorAllen Nutman, of the University of Wollongong, told Reuters of the findings that were published in the journal Nature. “It was a place where life could flourish,” he added. Similar early life on Mars now seem less of a long shot.
It’s understandable to doubt the origins of life beginning 3.7 billion years ago, given the conditions on Earth. At that time, oceans were frozen, and rains of cataclysmic meteorites kept on turning Earth’s surface into molten lava. These hellish conditions, even on their own, could have prevented life from flourishing. These findings could be the proof that they didn’t.
As Dr. Abigail C. Allwood, of the California Institute of Technology, wrote, “life is not a fussy, reluctant and unlikely thing…Give it half a chance, and it’ll run with it.”

Special Reports
Belgian General Claims Triangle UFOs Exist
My name is Wilfried De Brouwer. I am a retired Major General of the Belgian Air Force and I was Chief Operations in the Air Staff when an exceptional UFO wave took place over Belgium. Indeed, during the evening of 29 November 1989, in Eastern Belgium, 140 UFO sightings were reported. Hundreds of people saw a majestic triangular craft with a span of approximately 120 feet, powerful beaming spot lights, moving very slowly without making any significant noise but, in several cases, accelerating to very high speeds. The following days and months, many more sightings would follow. The UFO wave would last more than one year during which a Belgian UFO organization conducted more than 650 investigations and recorded more than 400 hours of audio witness reports. On one occasion, a photograph revealed the triangular shape and four light beams of the object. In my function of Chief Operations, I was confronted with numerous questions about the origin and nature of these craft.
In the first instance, and in consultation with other NATO partners, 1 could confirm that no flights of stealth aircraft or any other experimental aircraft look place in the airspace of Belgium. In addition, the Civil Aviation Authorities confirmed that no flight plans had been introduced and the object(s) committed infractions against the existing aviation rules
In any case, the Air Force has arrived to the conclusion that a certain number of anomalous phenomena have been produced within Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations compiled in this Society of Belgian Studies of Celestial Phenomena [SOBEPS] book, reinforced by the reports of the night of March 30-31 [1990], have led us to face the hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorized aerial activities have taken place.
A mystery that continues to the present, but it exists, it is real, and that in itself is an important conclusion. Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer, Deputy Chief, Royal Belgian Air Force, “Postface” in SOBEPS’ Vague d’OVNI sur la Belgique -1991.
Flying Triangle Mysteries
After disc- or saucer-shaped UFOs, the most reported shape for these elusive objects is that of a black triangle or deltoid. Sometimes they are described as V-shaped or similar to a boomerang, but the triangular structure is the most commonly reported of this type. More often than not, they have bright lights at each corner and a larger one at the centre, although some are described as having rows of lights along the edges.
It is often said that Triangle sightings began in the 1940s and peaked in the late 1980s and 1990s, but they have been reported throughout history. Cave paintings, frescoes and woodcuts have all depicted triangular objects, as well as the more common discs, cigars and circles/spheres.
The 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg, Germany was a mass sighting of celestial phenomena orunidentified flying objects (UFO). The phenomenon has been interpreted by some modern UFO enthusiasts as an aerial battle, possibly of extraterrestrial origin. Around dawn on April 14, 1561, residents of Nuremberg saw what they described as an aerial battle, followed by the appearance of a large black triangular object and then a large crash outside of the city. According to witnesses, there were hundreds of spheres, cylinders and other odd-shaped objects that moved erratically overhead. A broadsheet news article with a woodcut engraving was printed later that month by Hans Glaser, describing the event.
Two triangles were observed manoeuvring close to the Moon on July 3, 1882. For 45 minutes the residents of Lebanon, Connecticut, were treated to a bizarre lunar display: “Two pyramidal luminous protuberances appeared on the moon’s upper limb. They were not large, but gave the moon a look strikingly like that of a horned owl. These points were a little darker than the rest of the moon’s face. They slowly faded away a few moments after their appearance. About three minutes after their disappearance two black triangular notches were seen on the…lower half of the moon. These points gradually moved toward each other along the moon’s edge, and seemed to be…obliterating nearly a quarter of its surface, until they finally met, when the moon’s face assumed its normal appearance.”
Bermuda — The Royal Gazette, states that, at about 8:30 a.m., on September. 8, 1885, there was observed by Mrs. Adelina D. Bassett, “A strange object in the clouds, coming from the north.” She called the attention of Mrs. L. Lowell to it, and they were both somewhat alarmed. However, they continued to watch the object steadily for some time. It drew nearer, it was of Triangular shape. What followed this sighting was a strange statement similar to modern attempts at debunking, a General Lefroy of the U.S. Army, gives us a terrestrial explanation for this 1885 sighting, He states it was a balloon that had escaped from France or England. If so it was the first aerial object of terrestrial origin to ever cross the Atlantic Ocean, and would have held that record for another 35 years…
1915 During World War I various shaped UFOs were reported over England. Most were reported as dirigibles as flown by the Germans; but after the war the Germans claimed only a few missions were actually flown over England as Kaiser Wilhelm didn’t want to upset his relatives of the British Royal family. The frequent UFO triangle and cylinder reports were often reported by military personnel.
It was the post-war years, though, that saw an explosion in triangle sightings. Not all triangles are described as ‘black’, with some appearing metallic or luminous. It has been suggested, with merit, that the triangles sighted after the end of World War II may actually be top-secret aircraft flown by our governments. This theory is supported by the various delta-winged aircraft that were developed, as well as the numerous ‘flying wing’ planes like the Northrop YB-35 and YB-49.
Kenneth Arnold’s famous sighting of 1947 could be counted as a triangle sighting, although the objects he saw were described as ‘crescent-shaped’. His description (see photo) was very reminiscent of the Horton Ho-229 fighter, although these Nazi-designed aircraft were unable to achieve the 1200-1700 mph calculated by Arnold for the craft he observed. There are valid reports that after the war the Canadians built craft in the far west based on German technology.
Although described as a ‘flying disc’ in the official press release, the downed Roswell craft has been depicted by various witnesses as a triangular, winged vehicle. Based upon these descriptions, forensic artist, William Louis McDonald published his technical diagrams of the craft.
They created such a stir that model kit firm, Testors, added it to their range of successful scale models.
It is curious that both of the UFO incidents that kick-started the modern age of ufology have craft that are decidedly triangle shaped. Over the following decades, more triangle sightings occurred.
In March, 1965, near the village of Skeeby, North Yorkshire, England nine triangular objects, each about 100-feet long and flying in a V-formation, were witnessed by a man driving his 1951 Ford. His engine sputtered and died and he climbed out to investigate the fault. It was then that he saw a large object moving about 100-feet above the moor. As he watched, it shot skywards and joined eight other, identical, objects.
In 1969, the British Petroleum (BP) oil tanker, British Grenadier, was sailing through the Gulf of Mexico. Suddenly, a triangular UFO appeared over the ship, described at the time as being like an ‘arrowhead’. It remained above the tanker for the next three days, appearing dark blue during daylight hours and silver at night.
According to the ship’s log, on the first day, at one minute past midnight, the engines shut down and only emergency lighting and steering were operational. Launched in 1962, the tanker was only seven years old and pretty much state-of-the-art for the time. The engines were restarted, but only after a full manual shutdown and restart of the pumps.
On the second day, the food refrigerators failed. No reason was found for this. The third day of the sighting was the most dramatic. At one minute after midnight again, the engines shut down. It was discovered that the starter motor for the engines had been dismantled and the parts laid out as though for examination. Twelve hours later, the craft vanished.
A crewman passed through an open door into the nearby crew quarters was shocked to discover that the same door had been welded shut before the tanker had left port because of a fault. How could it have been open at the time of the second engine shutdown?
In the 1970s, there was a spate of TRIANGLE sightings over France. In June, 1976, an aircraft mechanic in Pierre-de-Bresse saw a triangular craft with flickering orange and white lights and the forward point and bright, white lights to the rear. The witness observed it moving slowly and silently for five minutes before it disappeared to the north.
A few months later, military personnel saw a similar object over Marseille and just days after that another was spotted over Saint-Nazaire-d’Aude, this time with a red light at the centre.
In December, 1977, a triangle with yellow lights at the tips and a red light at the centre was seen near Brettnach in north-eastern France. The craft moved slowly and silently before angling to 45-50 degrees and vanishing ‘as though into fog’.
On the last day of December, 1981, a retired police officer from Kent, New York, saw several lights to the south. At first he thought that a plane was in trouble, but as it drew closer, he realized that this was no conventional aircraft. It became apparent that the lights were attached to a triangular structure and he was amazed that it was travelling so slowly and almost silently, save for a low hum.
Drawings made of Hudson Valley craft
More sightings came in and in March, 1983, a telephone hotline was opened, receiving three hundred reports on its first night! That same night, the police switchboard in Yorktown, New York, was also swamped and a road became blocked as motorists pulled over to watch a triangle flying overhead. Between 1982 and 1986 over 5,000 reports came from the Hudson Valley area.
The Hudson Valley wave led into what is probably the most famous flap of triangle sightings – the Belgian UFO Wave. On November 29th, 1989, two police officers driving between Eupen and Kettenis in eastern Belgium saw a ‘dark solid mass in the form of an isosceles triangle’ over a field beside the road. The object had bright, white lights at each corner and a red light at the centre. They reported what they had seen and discovered from the Belgian military that no aircraft were in the area. A little over an hour later, they saw it again hovering over a watch tower on the nearby Lake Gileppe. They watched it for over two hours before it ascended in a spiral flight path and disappeared. Over 150 reports came in that night from police officers and members of the public.
On March 30th, 1990, a triangle was seen over the city of Glons, Belgium by a police captain. He reported it to the military and two F-16 fighters were scrambled to intercept. They encountered the UFO and managed to attain a radar lock. The footage of this encounter is now world famous. The jets played cat and mouse with the object for over an hour. Each time they got a lock, the craft would quickly move away. The pilots reported that the UFO executed manoeuvres that were impossible for them to replicate. At one point, the craft descended from 10,000 feet to 500 feet in only five seconds.
An investigation of the incident by the Belgian Air Force concluded they were unable to identify the nature nor the origin of the phenomena. The man who signed the official report, Colonel Wilfred de Brouwer (now Major General), agreed to write a post face at the end of the Belgian Society for the Study of Space Phenomena’s (SOBEP’s) report into the sightings. His conclusions were:
The day will undoubtedly come where the phenomenon will be observed with technological means of detection and recording which will not leave any doubt of the triangle origin. This should raise part of the veil which covers the mystery for a long time.
More sightings were reported over the following months. One photograph has become synonymous with the triangle phenomenon.
It depicts the underside of a triangular object with a bright light on each corner and another at the centre. In all over a thousand reports have come from Belgium and triangle sightings continue to this day.
The Sunday Telegraph’s report of 30 July 2000 that, on 18 June, “two large triangular objects were seen flying over Charlesville-Mézières and Villers-Semeuse in eastern France. They made a loud, strange engine noise and swooped down to roof height. They had metallic bars beneath the engines, with lights at either end. Half an hour earlier and about 200 miles…south-west, Thierry Garnier was… on the outskirts of Gasny when he saw a strong white luminous flash approaching from the east.”
Three years to the day after the Belgian F-16 encounter, the UK had its own triangle mystery. Known as the Cosford Incident, it was investigated in an official capacity by Nick Pope for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and, for him, remains as one of the best cases in the government’s files.
Since 1990 there have been over 4000 sightings of what is known as the
“Flying Triangle” or “Silent Vulcan” Over Britain. In the early 90’s there were a similar number over Belgium, France, Holland and Germany, with fighters being sent up to intercept this unknown craft? With people seeing aircraft “as big as a football field and hovering silently” to “hovering craft that shoot off silently.” Another claim was the sighting of “a huge black triangle rising out of the water” it is one of Europe’s most enduring waves of sightings. Nick Pope wrote a book about many of these sightings including one over several Army bases in one night.
On March 30th, 1993, reports came in of triangular craft from locations as far apart as Somerset and Staffordshire. At RAF Cosford in Shropshire, an RAF police officer reported a craft fly over the base at an altitude of about a thousand feet with no engine noise. A meteorological officer from nearby RAF Shawbury saw a large craft shining beams of light down to the ground before moving quickly away to the horizon.
Nick Pope made out a report that concluded that what was seen was of ‘considerable defence significance’. His superior officer agreed and stated in a memo to the Assistant Chief of Air Staff that ‘there would seem to be some evidence on this occasion that an unidentified object (or objects) of unknown origin was operating over the UK’.
Washington State— I was outside, walking our dog, about 10:30 p.m. and heard a strange vibration overhead that was 500 feet above our house and moved east, following the river upstream. I could make out the triangular shape of it and also noted that the three lights were there, but they did not illuminate anything as it passed right over. I did notice some red lights that were constantly in the rear. It might be some military plane. But what propulsion it used is beyond me. I asked my wife if she heard the vibrations when I returned to the house and she said she had. It might be a military vehicle stationed at nearby McChord Air Base.
No doubt triangle sightings will continue into the future, alongside all the other shapes and sizes of the UFO phenomenon. Are they extra-terrestrial? Are they Top Secret aircraft? As they have been sighted since before the advent of powered flight, this would suggest that they are not the latter. We all know that there are some very weird and exotic aircraft being developed by our governments, but can they be testing craft that can perform ‘impossible’ aerobatic manoeuvres? Why would they be testing them in areas where they can be detected on radar, witnessed by hundreds of people and entering busy commercial air corridors?
As Major General de Brouwer said it is “a mystery which thus remains whole. But it exists, it is real, and this is already an important conclusion. About a hundred triangle sightings were reported in July 2016. Thanks to UFO Data Magazine)
Air Traffic Controller Saw Numerous UFO’s
I was an air traffic controller at Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB) Idaho from 1973 through 1976 and saw numerous UFO’s, but knew it was a waste to report them. I had no desire to go to the base hospital and enter into a conversation as to whether I loved my mother.
FAA Certification
In addition, casual conversation with pilots of the F-111 Tactical Fighter Bombers there indicated they too had witnessed the same, but didn’t want an official inquiry into their sanity.
Additional Comment from Witness: I have experienced a lot of skepticism in the past.
Updated Aug 28, 2016:The veteran provided documentation that he was an air traffic controller for the Air Force at Mountain Home AFB. (Note that the date on the certificate is Sep 18, 1973. This provides good evidence that he was stationed at Mountain AFB in the time period noted on his report.) Two documents were provided. The first document lists his certification as a controller. The second document provides his FAA certification and shows that he was at Mountain Home AFB. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Astronomers Calculate at Least 8 Billion Earth like Planets
WASHINGTON — Space is vast, but it may not be so lonely after all: A study finds the Milky Way is teeming with billions of planets that are about the size of Earth; orbit stars just like our sun, and exist in the Goldilocks zone — not too hot and not too cold for life. Astronomers using NASA data have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there areat least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone. The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For perspective, that’s more Earth-like planets than there are people on Earth. As for what it says about the odds that there is life somewhere out there, it means “just in our Milky Way galaxy alone, that’s 8.8 billion throws of the biological dice,” said study co-author Geoff Marcy, from the University of California.
Selected by Extraterrestrials
Mr. Tompkins has extensive experience in advanced space research relating to spacecraft and space missions. It includes four years in naval intelligence studying extraterrestrial threats, twelve years as engineering section chief at the Douglas Missile and Space Division, four years as corporate director of North American Advanced Space Research, founder and chairman of the Advanced Space Concept Staff at the think tank within the TRW Space Systems, four years as program director of the 2020 advanced Anti-Sub Warfare program and was a member of the corporate headquarters Red Team at General Dynamics Corporation. This experience has led to his membership in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and he has done extensive research into extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects.
He is preparing a six-volume autobiographical study on the subject to be released soon to be entitled
Selected by Extraterrestrials. He states that our planet has been a battleground for warring extraterrestrial cultures for thousands of years. The result has been wars, destruction and attempts to hinder progress by some, but also recently a great spike in technical innovation due to help from others. He believes that perhaps he and many other uniquely talented people, have been gifted with skills that more closely reflect what human intelligence is capable of when not held back by outside forces.
Mr. Tompkins has taken on this subject with the same energy and detail he put into building his fleet of model ships, so this highly technical document should make for a very interesting read.
Bill has also spent 47 years in the Navy League of California and was founding chairman and president of the Southern Oregon Navy League Council as well as State vice president of the Oregon Navy League.
On the August 29, 2016 Jeff Rense Radio show Bill Tompkins who worked at NASA revealed the Apollo program was not only designed to visit the Moon but there were plans to construct a base on the Moon that would eventually hold 10,000 men. German Paperclip scientists ran NASA for its first twenty years. All astronauts after the first couple were Freemasons as was George Washington. All base names are Freemason and the astronauts put Freemason flags on the Moon Friendly extraterrestrials (ET) Nordics helped us go to the Moon. Bill had attractive female Nordics working with him who would give us the answers telepathically to difficult technological questions. The Moon was actually put in place by ET in the distant past and is controlled by ET Reptilians who have
bases and mining operations there. Photographs of mile high buildings on the moon exist and some appear to be actually floating a couple miles above the surface. NASA film allegedly shows UFO craft in formation with Apollo 11 astronauts.
Once we visited the Moon after several missions the ET Reptilians told us not to come back the project was closed down and some 400,000 Apollo engineers and technicians were laid off. Reptilians are allegedly dropping gasses on Earth to restrict our brain power. Several aviation companies continued building space ships such as North American Aviation who launched craft from Australia and participated in commercial trade with other ET civilizations. We are exploring the planets orbiting the closest twelve stars and are building bases on them. German Paperclip scientists helped the development of the US Navy’s ‘Solar Warden’ that is a plan to build space ships.
Official US Navy image
We have eight Naval Groups in space and the Reptilians have sixty Groups and are carrying out operations to control much of the Galaxy. We are attempting to help the Nordics and other extraterrestrials. They are interested in Earth because it is a wonderful planet that is in a strategic place in the Galaxy and is a kind of oasis for obtaining key food stuffs, water, and materials for propulsion.
We’re essentially working with Nordics and friendly extraterrestrials. Mars structures have been smeared out and indications of a catastrophe are apparent. Bill Tompkins reveals the big picture of a parallel world of secret space programs and extraterrestrial alliances. The full disclosure of secret space programs and extraterrestrial alliances will unshackle the chains of deception holding humanity back from reaching its highest potential as galactic citizens. There are billions of earth like planets. The closest ones can be reached in surprisingly short periods of time using speeds above light speed and wormholes.
Bill Tompkins claims there are very large underground facilities in the Western United States particularly in the mountains with Nordic extraterrestrials living in them. Nordic aliens are said by self-describedcontactees and as a group of humanoidextraterrestrials who resemble
Nordic–Scandinavians. They have built tunnels four times larger than ours. A system of tunnels from Palm Springs to China Lake exists. Research is going on by hundreds of technicians and experts doing research on the extraterrestrials. Tunnels go underground to Vandenberg AFB, California where several launch sites exist. Various aviation companies such as Lockheed, Douglas, and TRW have extraterrestrial workers. ET has been here for thousands of years and we have been working together with Nordics for at least forty years. The Nordics are trying to help us and taking individuals and assisting us technically.
Next week I’ll discuss the KGB classified Information Exchange Program with an Alien Civilization and Soviet concerns with flying triangles.
Thanks to Jeff Rense Radio Show that I usually appear on the first Tuesday of each month at 10 PM Eastern.

Filer’s Files #36 – 2016 Mysterious Flying Triangles - PART II
Sightings of UFOs in the United States
Arizona Orb
North Scottsdale — After taking several pictures of the clouds and the sunset in the moment of doing so I noticed a green unidentified object in one of the pictures on August 16, 2016. While taking the picture and focusing on the Sunset and clouds I thought there was something in the corner of my eye. I kept focused on the image I was taking. After taking the picture I noticed something strange was in part of the picture I had taken. It was a round green sphere that had some kind of spikes of light all around it. I saw it with my naked eye right after I took the picture.
My first thought was that it was the light in my camera reflecting from the sun but some sort of weird object was out there. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Orbs
Grass Balley — As with previous attempts my normally operational iPhone locks up when sending images of the orbs and I am of the belief the orbs are affecting the transmission. Please if you receive this report call me immediately for further details and advice on what to do and for further investigation.
I am being affected psychologically as these entities seem to be aware of my attempts to share imagery and info about their presence. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Light
Pensacola — These lights were in the same spot for a long time. I captured video as they started defending and disappearing behind the tree line and trailer. There was one then two and the second one kept dimming out and reappearing. Even the big one dims out a couple times as you’ll see in the video. This happened in Pensacola, Florida about 8 PM.
Note: The video isn’t included as it doesn’t show much more detail than the still image. The light does go up and down behind the tree line as described by witness, but it never moves much. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
New Jersey Sightings
Bayonne — I was on my deck, right after a rain storm, taking pictures of the skyline. I didn’t see anything until I uploaded my photos and noticed a gray streak in one of the pictures. I enlarged the area and was amazed by what I saw.
It was a clear image of what looked like a flying saucer. You could see three lights/windows on the top of the craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ocean City— I had a sighting on Friday night August 19, 2016, I was a block away from the ocean at my condo, and was sky watching, I was looking at stars and I saw an aircraft coming. But I noticed the lights were strange, so I followed it all the way to me, that’s when I saw the lights were wrong. One light was red, in front, and crazily strobes, small multi- colored blink king many colors in rear of air craft. It was oval, with short bump in front. No wing lights. The speed was slow I froze, ran in and told wife and daughter. Thanks to John Marz.
North Carolina Triangle
Fayetteville— At the time I was 10 my sister was 13, in 1992, and a light brighter then the sun came through the window. The light felt like it scanned the whole house. When the beam left the house it felt like it took everything with it like it snatched my soul! She said, “Gabriel what was that? Gabriel look.” I looked up and saw the most beautiful thing I ever seen in my life, right above the tree tops.
I saw a triangular object rounded at the points hovering over our house. There was a very bright orange light in the middle with different color little lights going around the triangle. They moved around changing color and had a hypnotizing effect with a bluish hue. The craft slowly started to move and we lost time and when we woke up we were both propped up in our seats, People around the trailer park said they saw it. I feel we were taken and dreamt I was on a craft and in a hospital bed. I saw weird creatures walking around, so I jumped into an elevator, and when the doors opened they were waiting for me and I woke up, Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Anomaly
Cleveland — I am sending a picture to you that my daughter took on August 17, 2016! She was taking a shot of our beautiful full moon and nothing more.
Please look at the moon to the right of the moon.
Can you please tell me what you think this might be! Can you please text me as there are a lot of us shaking our heads right now! Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Oregon Lights
Portland — The two objects hovered before a third one showed up next to them on August 19, 2016.
The lights were very bright and were stationary. The third light started to move away slowly before just flat out disappearing.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Disc
Havertown — My experience happened sometime around 1955, when I was about 12 years old. I don’t know why I’ve ignored my very real experience all these years. But perhaps due to the Ancient Aliens TV show. I would like to now share my experience. I saw a rotating disk with windows lit up in a yellow tone. Aside from the rotation, it hung still in the air, about 15.20 stories up. I thought that at any moment someone/thing would show up in a window. I called my dad who also saw it. After a minute or so, the object shot up the hill and disappeared…with no noise. A couple minutes later, cop cars went flying up the hill with sirens on. The incident was reported in the next day’s Delaware County News. It was reported that cops chased an advertising helicopter. I still see it clearly in my mind’s eye. I’m a management consultant, practicing out of Haddonfield since 1974. Thanks to Jim Mc/
Texas Cylinder
Wichita Falls – I was out taking pictures of a plane flying around with a banner on August 27, 2016. On the last picture I noticed something over the plane.
I enlarged that area and have never seen anything like this. It was silver-reflecting sunlight-above a small plane. There was -no noise other than the plane. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Vermont Orb
Sheldon— I saw a storm cloud coming from the north with lightning flashing around inside it on March 10, 2015. As it got closer I noticed it’s not just white flashes but red and white that caught my attention. As it passed over my car you could see into the cloud for a couple of seconds. It was some kind of large craft with red and white lights flashing around on it. I would judge the size to be about 1000 feet long. You could see one end out of the driver’s window and the front of it out of the passenger’s window. A very bright red beam was flashing down on the ground and like it was searching for something. The craft was using a cloud like screen to conceal itself and until it went right over you couldn’t see the lights inside the cloud. The cars ahead and behind me slowed to a crawl when the craft went over. This is the third time I have witnessed strange craft that are not made on this planet. NOTE: The above image is CGI. This case is under investigation by State Director Ken Pfeifer of MUFON Vermont.
Virginia Triangle
I had my Go-pro outside filming the sky using a night lapse like any other night on August 28, 2016. The object moved as fast as a shooting star but had a strange shape.
I pulled it up on a still frame and just happened to catch it hovering. I film every night and this blew my mind. I have never seen anything like this. It moved at light speed.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Disc
Parkland — I was taking pictures of the Thunderbird Air Show at McChord AFB. The black object to the right was not visible to the naked eye.
I was viewing the air show from Washington High School.
I noticed the object when reviewing the pictures.

Worldwide UFO Reports
Australia Lights
Port Macquarie — I was at my parent’s house, having a cigarette on the back deck on August 22, 2016 and saw lights. I have seen these things more than once before. I often see them late at night in the distance. They look as if they have a part that separates from the main light, which always has flashing blue, green and red lights. You can clearly see it separate and then retract back into the main part. I have observed them with binoculars and have attempted to take photographs with a long lens on my digital SLR camera which was sitting on the tripod to help eliminate camera movement.

Canada Strange Lights in the Sky
London— I looked up into the night sky at 9 13 pm on August 25 and noticed a fast moving star. The light did not flash like the planes in the area did so. I ran into the house to get my wife to have a look. She agreed that it didn’t resemble a shooting star or an airplane and was very high in the sky. I tried to get video. Its flight path was east for about 30 seconds, and then it lost elevation. Then it continued east faster than before until it disappeared from sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Cross
Regensburg — My family and I were driving home from Bayern Park with my dad driving the car on August 27, 2016. I decided to take some pictures out my open window. When I got home I looked at the pictures and noticed these objects. I was stunned when I found them in my pictures using my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The pictures are zoomed in but nothing else. The 4th object looks like a cross flying straight up and the 5th picture seems like a ufo cube inside a bush. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Honduras Disc
We were on vacation, swimming with dolphins and took many photos during this time and none had any artifacts. I’ve uploaded three photos. The first includes the UFO, above the dolphin. The second was taken a second later and the 3rd is a zoomed in version of the first photo.
It doesn’t appear to be a bug since there are no bugs there and the shape is too perfect to be anything else I can think of.

Spain Lights
Cala Blanca Menorca — I was sitting at the balcony of the hotel and checked my photos of the day on November 19, 2015. It was a strange noise like an infra-sound. Suddenly two objects came from the sea level and went first flew straight and then into not reproducible flight curves. I made photos of the objects that were partly covered with this black dust in the atmosphere. The objects after several minutes changed into red stars. My camera was not working after the first photograph. The red stars were to be seen for minimum
UK/England Lights
Darlington— I was travelling east along the A66 approx 8 miles from Scotch Corner when I noticed a cluster of lights on the southwest horizon on March 23, 2014, I think looking towards Skelton. At first I thought the closest resemblance I could think of was a squadron of helicopters with lights on. I managed to take a photograph and video. It wasn’t a great day for visibility and I couldn’t make anything else out other than the lights. I was mystified. Lanterns, flares etc have all been suggested but the absolute lack of movement still leaves me skeptical of this explanation. I eventually lost sight as I passed over a hill.
Manchester — I was on the campus of The University of Manchester, as I was walking down Oxford Road, I happened to glimpse this weird object flying low on August 23, 2016. The object looks almost like a humpback whale, with no markings, no windows. It also had no noise coming from said object. It was too big to be a drone and flying too low to be an aircraft. What appeared to be wings were way too small. It flew out of range. I recorded the object on my Samsung s6 Edge Plus. All in all it was very strange. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Drijvende afvalemmer slurpt afval uit de oceanen
Drijvende afvalemmer slurpt afval uit de oceanen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Een Spaanse organisatie werkt aan een afvalemmer voor op het water. De drijvende emmer slurpt water op, filtert het afval eruit en spuwt het water weer uit.
Consumptie aanpakken De aanpak van dit probleem dient tweeledig te zijn. Zo moeten we ervoor zorgen dat er minder plastic in de oceanen belandt. Steeds meer overheden zien dat ook in en het leidde in diverse landen – waaronder Nederland – onder meer tot een verbod op de gratis plastic tas. Een verbod dat werkt, zo suggereren cijfers uit Groot-Brittannië. Sinds het winkelend publiek daar moet betalen voor een plastic tasje worden er miljarden tasjes minder mee naar huis gesleept.
Opruimen Maar de plastic-consumptie aanpakken, is maar een deel van het verhaal. Daarnaast moeten we ook het plastic dat reeds in de oceaan is beland en in de toekomst het water nog weet te vinden, opruimen. Maar hoe kun je dat nu het beste doen? Een organisatie op Mallorca komt met een verrassend eenvoudige oplossing. Een afvalemmer voor op zee. “We hebben afvalemmers voor op het land, dus waarom eigenlijk voor op zee? Dat was een beetje de gedachte,” vertelt Pete Ceglinski, mede-oprichter van The Seabin Project aan Scientias.nl.
Seabin Samen met enkele andere enthousiastelingen bedacht hij de Seabin. Een soort drijvende afvalemmer, speciaal ontwikkeld om water te ontdoen van plastic en allerlei ander afval. “Water wordt er van bovenaf in getrokken en glijdt door een net,” vertelt Ceglinski. In dat net blijft al het afval achter. “Vervolgens wordt het water er aan de onderzijde weer uitgepompt. Het is eigenlijk heel simpel.” Maar kan deze eenvoudige afvalemmer echt het verschil gaan maken? “Elke emmer zal naar schatting zo’n 1,5 kilo afval per dag vangen. In een jaar tijd kan zo’n emmer meer dan een halve ton afval verzamelen.” Overigens verzamelt de emmer naast plastic (tot wel 2 millimeter kleine deeltjes) en allerlei andere soorten afval ook olie.
Een ander voordeel van de Seabin: deze moet regelmatig geleegd worden en dat kan een educatief momentje zijn voor bijvoorbeeld scholieren. Vandaar dat ook zij bij het project betrokken worden.
Afbeelding: Seabin.
Dicht bij de consument Seabin is natuurlijk lang niet het enige initiatief dat erop gericht is de oceanen van plastic te bevrijden. Maar de emmer onderscheidt zich volgens Ceglinski duidelijk van die andere plannen. Dat begint al met de plek waar deze wordt ingezet. Niet op volle zee, maar in havens. “Dicht bij de bron van het afvalprobleem: de consument op het land.” Daarnaast is Seabin volgens Ceglinski een vrij goedkope en eenvoudige oplossing. En van het plastic dat gevangen wordt, kunnen nieuwe Seabins worden gemaakt: dan is het cirkeltje weer rond.
Enthousiasme Het enthousiasme rond de Seabin is in ieder geval groot. Ceglinski en zijn collega’s ontvangen naar eigen zeggen dagelijks honderden berichten van mensen wereldwijd die een Seabin willen bestellen. Ook de crowdfunding-campagne die aan de ontwikkeling van het prototype voorafging, was een groot succes. In korte tijd werd er meer dan 260.000 dollar door het publiek gedoneerd. Toch blijven Ceglinski en zijn collega’s nuchter. Ze stellen dat de Seabin alleen de oceanen niet van al het afval kan bevrijden. Daartoe zal toch vooral het gedrag van mensen moeten veranderen. En daarbij kan de Seabin helpen. Bijvoorbeeld door scholieren te betrekken bij het legen van de afvalemmers in hun eigen omgeving. Dan wordt namelijk pijnlijk duidelijk hoe groot het probleem is én blijkt het bovendien geen ver-van-mijn-bed-show te zijn.
Momenteel werkt Seabin Project aan een prototype dat later getest zal worden voor de kust van Mallorca en in de haven van het Franse La Grande Motte. Als alles volgens plan gaat, kan de Seabin begin volgend jaar al op de markt komen. Aan havens, jachtclubs, eigenaars van boten en overheden aan zee dan de taak om de Seabin aan te schaffen. Wat dat precies gaat kosten, is nog onduidelijk. Dat wordt later dit jaar bekend.

Deze ruimtetrein kan je binnen 3 minuten op de maan brengen (maar stopt nooit)
Deze ruimtetrein kan je binnen 3 minuten op de maan brengen (maar stopt nooit)
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Ontwerpers presenteren de Solar Express: een trein die door de ruimte raast met een snelheid van zo’n 3000 kilometer per seconde (oftewel 1 procent van de snelheid van het licht).
De Solar Express is bedoeld om mensen, voorraden en mineralen van het ene hemellichaam of ruimtestation naar het andere te vervoeren. De trein bestaat uit een aantal cilinders die elk zo’n vijftig meter lang zijn.
Nooit stoppen De trein dendert continu voort en stopt nooit. Dat lijkt misschien een beetje gek, maar is eigenlijk heel logisch. In de ruimte kost versnellen en afremmen veel brandstof en dus geld. Eenmaal op snelheid valt de energieconsumptie van een ruimtevaartuig alles mee. Vandaar dat de bedenkers van Solar Express er bewust voor kiezen hun ‘ruimtetrein’ maar één keertje te versnellen. Dat gebeurt in eerste instantie met behulp van raketten en de zwaartekracht van hemellichamen (zie kader). Eenmaal op snelheid heeft de trein slechts zo af en toe een klein beetje brandstof nodig om op koers te blijven.
Voorraden worden losgekoppeld van de Solar Express.

Versnellen door gebruik te maken van de zwaartekracht van een hemellichaam. Dat is op zichzelf niets nieuws. Ruimtesonde Juno deed het bijvoorbeeld in 2013. De sonde scheerde toen langs onze planeet om voldoende snelheid te krijgen om Jupiter te bereiken.
Koppelen Leuk bedacht, maar hoe stap je in, in een trein die nooit stopt? Het idee is dat je plaatsneemt in een kleiner ruimtevaartuig dat zich aan de Solar Express koppelt op het moment dat deze voorbijraast.
Ver weg De bedenkers zien het al helemaal voor zich. Er zou een Solar Express kunnen zijn die in een grote cirkel door het zonnestelsel beweegt en mensen naar verre planeten brengt. Maar er zou ook een Solar Express kunnen zijn voor kortere ritjes door de ruimte. En natuurlijk gaan ze allemaal heel hard. Volgens de bedenkers moet een snelheid die in de buurt komt van 1 procent van de snelheid van het licht haalbaar zijn. Met zo’n snelheid (3000 kilometer per seconde) ben je binnen drie minuten op de maan en binnen een paar dagen bij Jupiter (ter vergelijking: ruimtesonde Juno deed daar vijf jaar over!).
Afbeelding: Boris Schwarzer / Imaginactive.org.
Ideetje Natuurlijk is het nog maar een idee, zo erkent bedenker Charles Bombardier op zijn site. En natuurlijk moet er nog wel over het één en ander worden nagedacht. Bijvoorbeeld: hoe houd je zo’n complex voertuig in bedwang? “Solar Express is een basaal idee en we zouden graag meer willen weten om het te kunnen verbeteren,” stelt Bombardier.
En daarmee blijft de Solar Express dus nog even een fantasie. Maar wie weet, is het ooit doodgewoon om met de trein naar de maan te gaan en daar iets meer dan twee minuten na vertrek op aarde al aan te komen.
It's literally epoch-defining news. A group of experts tasked with considering the question of whether we have officially entered the Anthropocene – the geological age characterised by humans' influence on the planet – has delivered its answer: yes.
The British-led Working Group on the Anthropocene (WGA) told a geology conference in Cape Town that, in its considered opinion, the Anthropocene epoch began in 1950 – the start of the era of nuclear bomb tests, disposable plastics and the human population boom.
The Anthropocene has fast become an academic buzzword and has achieved a degree of public visibility in recent years. But the more the term is used, the more confusion reigns, at least for those not versed in the niceties of the underpinning science.
Roughly translated, the Anthropocene means the "age of humans." Geologists examine layers of rock called "strata," which tell a story of changes to the functioning of Earth's surface and near-surface processes, be these oceanic, biological, terrestrial, riverine, atmospheric, tectonic or chemical.
The chart features a hierarchy of terms like "system" and "stage;" generally, the suffix "cene" refers to a geologically brief stretch of time and sits at the bottom of the hierarchy. We have spent the past 11,500 years or so living in the so-called Holocene epoch, the interglacial period during which Homo sapiens has flourished.
If the Holocene has now truly given way to the Anthropocene, it's because a single species — us — has significantly altered the character of the entire hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere.
The end of an era?
Making this call is not straightforward, because the Anthropocene proposition is being investigated in different areas of science, using different methods and criteria for assessing the evidence. Despite its geological ring, the term Anthropocene was coined not by a geologist, but by the Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000.
Comparing these changes to those occurring during the Holocene, they concluded that we humans have made an indelible mark on our one and only home. We have altered the Earth system qualitatively, in ways that call into question our very survival over the coming few centuries.
Crutzen's group talks of the post-1950 period as the "Great Acceleration," when a range of factors — from human population numbers, to disposable plastics, to nitrogen fertiliser — began to increase exponentially. But their benchmark for identifying this as a significant change has nothing to do with geological stratigraphy. Instead, they ask whether the present period is qualitatively different to the situation during the Holocene.
Rocking out
Meanwhile, a small group of geologists has been investigating the stratigraphic evidence for the Anthropocene. A few years ago a subcommission of the ICS set up the Anthropocene working group, which has now suggested that human activity has left an indelible mark on the stratigraphic record.
The major problem with this approach is that any signal is not yet captured in rock. Humans have not been around long enough for any planet-wide impacts to be evident in Earth’s geology itself. This means that any evidence for a Holocene-Anthropocene boundary would necessarily be found in less permanent media like ice sheets, soil layers or ocean sediments.
The ICS has always considered evidence for boundaries that pertain to the past, usually the deep past. The WGA is thus working against convention by looking for present-day stratigraphic markers that might demonstrate humans’ planetary impact. Only in thousands of years' time might future geologists (if there are any) confirm that these markers are geologically significant.
In the meantime, the group must be content to identify specific calendar years when significant human impacts have been evident. For example, one is 1945, when the Trinity atomic device was detonated in New Mexico. This and subsequent bomb tests have left global markers of radioactivity that ought still to be evident in 10,000 years.
Alternatively, geographers Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin have suggestedthat 1610 might be a better candidate for a crucial human-induced step change. That was the year when atmospheric carbon dioxide dipped markedly, suggesting a human fingerprint linked to the New World colonists' impact on indigenous American agriculture, although this idea iscontested.
Decision time
The fact that the WGA has picked a more recent date, 1950, suggests that it agrees with the idea of defining the Great Acceleration of the latter half of the 20th century as the moment we stepped into the Anthropocene.
It's not a decision that is taken lightly. The ICS is extremely scrupulous about amending the International Chronostratigraphic Chart. The WGA's suggestion will face a rigorous evaluation before it can be scientifically accepted by the commission. It may be many years before it is formally ratified.
Elsewhere, the term is fast becoming a widely used description of how people now relate to our planet, rather like the Iron Age or the Renaissance. These words describe real changes in history and enjoy widespread use in academia and beyond, without the need for rigorously defined "boundary markers" to delimit them from prior periods.
Does any of this really matter? Should we care that the jury is still out in geology, while other scientists feel confident that humans are altering the entire Earth system?
Writing on The Conversation, geologist James Scourse suggests not. He feels that the geological debate is "manufactured" and that humans' impact on Earth is sufficiently well recognised that we have no need of a new term to describe it.
Clearly, many scientists beg to differ. A key reason, arguably, is the failure of virtually every society on the planet to acknowledge the sheer magnitude of the human impact on Earth. Only last year did we finally negotiate a truly global treaty to confront climate change.
In this light, the Anthropocene allows scientists to assemble a set of large-scale human impacts under one graphic conceptual banner. Its scientific status therefore matters a great deal if people worldwide are at long last to wake up to the environmental effects of their collective actions.
Gaining traction
But the scientific credibility of the Anthropocene proposition is likely to be called into question the more that scientists use the term informally or otherwise. Here the recent history of climate science in the public domain is instructive.
Even more than the concept of global warming, the Anthropocene is provocative because it implies that our current way of life, especially in wealthy parts of the world, is utterly unsustainable. Large companies who make profits from environmental despoliation — oil multinationals, chemical companies, car makers and countless others – have much to lose if the concept becomes linked with political agendas devoted to things like degrowth and decarbonisation. When one considers the organised attacks on climate science in the United States and elsewhere, it seems likely that Anthropocene science will be challenged on ostensibly scientific grounds by non-scientists who dislike its implications.
Sadly, such attacks are likely to succeed. In geology, the WGA's unconventional proclamation potentially leaves any ICS definition open to challenge. If accepted, it also means that all indicators of the Holocene would now have to be referred to as things of the past, despite evidence that the transition to a human-shaped world is not quite complete in some places.
Some climate contrarians still refuse to accept that researchers can truly distinguish a human signature in the climate. Similarly, scientists who address themselves to the Anthropocene will doubtless face questions about how much these changes to the planet are really beyond the range of natural variability.
If "Anthropocene sceptics" gain the same momentum as climate deniers have enjoyed, they will sow seeds of confusion into what ought to be a mature public debate about how humans can transform their relationship with the Earth. But we can resist this confusion by recognising that we don't need the ICS's imprimatur to appreciate that we are indeed waving goodbye to Earth as we have known it throughout human civilisation.
We can also recognise that Earth system science is not as precise as nuclear physics or geometry. This lack of precision does not mean that the Anthropocene is pure scientific speculation. It means that science knows enough to sound the alarm, without knowing all the details about the unfolding emergency.
The Anthropocene deserves to become part of our lexicon — a way we understand who we are, what we're doing and what our responsibilities are as a species — so long as we remember that not all humans are equal contributors to our planetary maladies, with many being victims.

VIDEO: Vreemde lichtgevende objecten vastgelegd bij internationaal ruimtestation ISS
Het internationale ruimtestation ISS heeft weer pottenkijkers over vloer gehad. Een camera van het ruimtestation heeft vreemde lichten vastgelegd bij het ISS, schrijft de Daily Mail.
Volgens sommige UFO-jagers zijn de lichten bewijs dat aliens het ruimtestation nauwgezet in de gaten houden. De lichtgevende objecten zoemen langs de Progress-capsule van het ISS. De lichten verdwijnen vervolgens plotseling, wat er volgens sommigen op wijst dat de NASA het beeldmateriaal heeft bewerkt.
Onzichtbare muur
“Het lijkt op een gigantisch ruimteschip dat passeert, maar de rest van het object wordt tegengehouden door een soort onzichtbare muur,” aldus één van de UFO-jagers.
Er wordt al langer beweerd dat UFO’s het ISS in de gaten houden. Ook wordt de NASA er geregeld van beschuldigd het beeld op zwart te zetten als er iets vreemds gebeurt bij het ruimtestation.
Buiten bereik
In april reageerde het Amerikaanse ruimteagentschap voor het eerst op de theorieën. “Het station valt regelmatig buiten het bereik van de Tracking and Relay Data Satellites (TDRS) die worden gebruikt om video, stem en telemetrie te versturen en ontvangen,” vertelde NASA-woordvoerster Tabatha Thompson aan ValueWalk. “Een blauw scherm of storingsbeeld betekent dat er geen signaal is.”
Op de vraag of NASA de livefeed wel eens uitzet, antwoordde ze ‘nee’. De vreemde lichten die worden vastgelegd zijn volgens haar reflecties. Sceptici aanvaarden deze uitleg niet en blijven de livestream van het ISSnauwgezet volgen.
Media says strong signal from space may be alien, scientists say probably not
Media says strong signal from space may be alien, scientists say probably not
The media has been ablaze with the story of a strong signal from space detected by a team of Russian astronomers last spring that the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute recently trained their telescopes on to attempt to detect. However, despite the hype, scientists are not hopeful that this was a message from E.T.
The attention on the Russian discovery began on August 27, 2016 with an article on a website called Centauri Dreams. It is ran by an amateur astronomer, Paul Gilster, who writes about peer-reviewed research on deep space exploration.

Gilster claimed he recently received a document that was being circulated by Aelxander Panov, a Physicist at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The document details the discovery of “a strong signal in the direction of HD164595″using the RATAN-600 radio telescope in the village of Zelenchukskaya, in the Karachay–Cherkess Republic of Russia on May 15, 2015.
Gilster points out, “No one is claiming that this is the work of an extraterrestrial civilization, but it is certainly worth further study.”
SETI scientists agreed and began further study on the possible signal, while the media set to tell the world about the potential signal from an extraterrestrial civilization.
On August 29, Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer for the SETI Institute, wrote an article to clarify their view on the signal and to outline the steps they were taking to investigate. He wrote: “the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) was swung in the direction of HD 164595 beginning on the evening of August 28.” However, thus far, they have not been able to detect a signal. He explained the RATAN-600 radio telescope was capable of detecting a much broader bandwidth, so it would take more time for the Allen Array to scan the entire band.

Shostak also pointed out some interesting notes about the signal’s detection and the nature of HD 164595. He explained, “[HD 164595 is] a solar system a few billion years older than the Sun but centered on a star of comparable size and brightness.” It does have a Neptune-sized planet, but the planet has too tight of an orbit to likely be capable of hosting life, as we know it.
Seth Shostak
According to Shostak, even if the signal were sent by an extraterrestrial civilization in HD 164595, if the signal was broadcast everywhere for anyone in any direction to hear, it would require hundreds of times the amount of energy that falls on Earth from our sun to send. Even if the signal is being directed straight at Earth, it would still require an amount of energy “comparable to the total energy consumption of all humankind.”
“Both scenarios require an effort far, far beyond what we ourselves could do, and it’s hard to understand why anyone would want to target our solar system with a strong signal. This star system is so far away they won’t have yet picked up any TV or radar that would tell them that we’re here,” says Shostak.
The manner in which the Russians went about revealing their findings also concerned Shostak. The SETI protocol is to alert others in the SETI community immediately if a potential extraterrestrial signal is detected so that others can attempt to train their telescopes on the area and confirm the signal. Instead, they waited more than a year to share information about the signal.
However, recent information may suggest the Russians never suspected the signal was extraterrestrial in the first place. The SETI project which captured the signal is ran by the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University along with the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS). Telescope researcher Yuri Sotnikova of SAO RAS posted an official comment on the signal on their website. She says, although an “interesting radio signal” was detected, “subsequent processing and analysis of the signal revealed its most probable terrestrial origin.”

She continued, “As for the other objects of the RATAN-600 survey, it is too early to claim about any reliable scientific results. Using the obtained measurements, we are only able to estimate the upper limit of the detection of the studied areas. It can be said with confidence that no sought-for signal has been detected yet.”
In their story regarding Sotnikova’s comments, the TASS Russian News Agency interviewed Alexander Ipatov, Director of the Institute of Applied Astronomy at RAS, regarding a signal detected during a similar program conducted in the Soviet-era.
“We, indeed, discovered an unusual signal. However, an additional check showed that it was emanating from a Soviet military satellite, which had not been entered into any of the catalogs of celestial bodies,” Ipatov told TASS.
This statement has lead to some confusion, as some have reported that this comment was regarding the signal discovered in May, 2015, but, of course, the was long after the Soviet-era, so it seems Ipatov was referring to a different signal.
Shostak has updated his article regarding their findings at the Allen Array. They were not able to find a signal coming from HD 164595. He also noted in his original article that the Russians only found the signal once in 39 tries.
Although this one does not seem to be the message we are looking for, in a short YouTube video released by the SETI Institute yesterday (seen below), Shostak tried to reassure his fellow alien hunters. He told viewers, “No detection yet, but you can’t always be cynical. If a signal looks promising, we are going to check it out.”
