Filmpje van ‘vrouw met reptielenogen’ gaat viral. Lees wat deze krant erover schreef
Filmpje van ‘vrouw met reptielenogen’ gaat viral. Lees wat deze krant erover schreef
Er circuleert op internet een bizar filmpje waarin een Oekraïense presentatrice te zien is die heel kort haar reptielenogen zou laten zien.
Het gaat om een video van een spirituele beweging die AllatRa heet. De video werd in juli geplaatst en onlangs opgepikt door de Peruaanse krant La Republica.
In de video, die maar liefst zes uur duurt, praten een man en twee vrouwen met elkaar over spiritualiteit en Atlantis.
Reptielenogen
Tijdens het gesprek kijkt één van de presentatrices op een bepaald moment omhoog en terwijl ze knippert zouden haar reptielenogen te zien zijn, aldus de krant.
Het tafereel is te zien in de oorspronkelijke beelden die door AllatRa op YouTube zijn geplaatst.
Sommige kijkers trokken een parallel met de tv-serie V. Sceptici kwamen met verschillende mogelijke verklaringen.
In scène gezet
Sommigen suggereerden dat het in scène is gezet door AllatRa om de aandacht te trekken, terwijl anderen claimden dat de ogen van de vrouw simpelweg licht reflecteren.
Spreker David Icke werd bekend met zijn theorie dat een buitenaards reptielenras naar aarde kwam om zich hier te kruisen met een geselecteerde groep mensen.
Nakomelingen uit dat geslacht zouden nu de aardse elite, waaronder het Britse koningshuis, vormen.
Een paar jaar geleden zag je niet of nauwelijks paarse luchten, nu is dat anders en komen ze uit alle hoeken en gaten tevoorschijn.
Naast die vreemde luchten, lijkt er opeens ook weer een toename te zijn van onbekende objecten die door de lucht vliegen.
We beginnen met het verhaal van een lezer, die eveneens een aantal foto's meestuurt (dank!).
Ik woon al zo lang als ik me herinner in de buurt van kassen en ben gewend aan het licht van de kassen.
Sinds enkele maanden zie ik soms Paars in de lucht.
Goed, het licht van de kassen reflecteert op de wolken, dat weet ik en ik weet ook dat er met paars word gewerkt sinds kort. Het gekke is, kassen zijn statisch en ze vervagen enkel als de wolken minder worden en zijn weer even fel als de wolken terug zijn.
Dit is anders met dit paarse licht. Soms is het er een half uurtje en dan vervaagt het naar weg (zodra de zon helemaal onder is). Dan zie ik het tijden niet en ineens is het er weer. Wel altijd op de zelfde plaats.
Kan iemand mij vertellen wat dit paarse licht is? Ik weet voor een feit dat het geen kas is, aangezien die dan structureel zichtbaar moet zijn.
De foto’s zijn NIET bewerkt.
De foto’s met paars nam ik toen ik ging lopen met de hond, de foto zonder paars toen ik terug kwam op het punt waar ik de foto nam zo ongeveer een half uurtje later. het licht (geel) van de kassen is er nog steeds, het paars is weg en dus geen kas.
Gaarne indien op de website vermeld anoniem.
Ik heb indien gewenst als bewijs dat ze niet zijn bewerkt ook een filmpje gemaakt.
Het volgende voorval betreft eveneens een soort paarse lucht, maar een ander soort paars dan hierboven omschreven.
Niet alleen een vreemd paarsachtige wolk boven Boston in de Amerikaanse staat Massachusetts, maar in of onder die wolk iets wat daar niet thuishoort. Het is een stilhangend object, bestaande uit vier lichten.
Volgens Tyler van Secureteam is dit voorval ingediend bij Mufon, de publieke database waar iedereen waarnemingen kan deponeren, maar werd de uitgebreide beschrijving van het voorval binnen de kortste keren verwijderd. Hij zegt dat deze organisatie misschien helemaal niet is wat het lijkt, maar dat deze wordt gecontroleerd/bestuurd vanuit de overheid en dat dit wellicht de reden is dat die omschrijving zo snel was verdwenen.
Dit betekent dat we van dit voorval verder dan ook vrij weinig weten, maar bijzonder is het wel.
De volgende vreemde gebeurtenis kwamen we tegen bij het Youtubekanaal van een man die regelmatig bijzondere opnames heeft, genaamd The Hidden Underbelly.
De beelden zijn gemaakt in Karelië in de buurt van een meer Ladoga genaamd. Dit alles is weer te vinden in de buurt van Leningrad en degene die dit gefilmd heeft ziet een aantal vreemde lichten aan de hemel.
Op een gegeven moment zakt het enigszins weg achter de bomen en komt er zelfs een tweede object in beeld.
Natuurlijk moet je voorzichtig zijn met deze beelden, zeker ook omdat ze uit Rusland komen en ze daar heel goed weten hoe je nepvideo's maakt. Echter, deze ziet er zo op het eerste gezicht vrij echt uit, ook omdat je op een gegeven moment de takken van de bomen voor het object ziet. De heer Alberda zal het daar wel niet mee eens zijn, omdat hij vindt dat alles op deze website nep en GCI is, maar deze zou zo maar echt kunnen zijn. En als dat zo is, dan is het een heel bijzondere opname.
Echter, het gedroeg zich anders dan een normaal hemellichaam, waaronder het plotseling versnellen. Hierdoor zijn er steeds meer wetenschappers van overtuigd dat het object in kwestie, Oumuamua genaamd en waar wij ook al eerder over schreven, wellicht toch een ruimteschip is dat afkomstig is uit een ander zonnestelsel.
Nu komt er toch wel het verrassende nieuws dat een aantal astronomen aan de Harvard universiteit een onderzoek hebben gepubliceerd waarin zij bekendmaken dat ze in de buurt van Jupiter nog vier onbekende objecten hebben aangetroffen die wel eens uit een ander zonnestelsel afkomstig zouden kunnen zijn.
Objecten die zich net als Oumuamua vreemd gedragen en zich niet houden aan de regels zoals die normaal gesproken gelden voor hemellichamen, zoals plotseling versnellen, afremmen of van richting veranderen.
Grote vraag is dan natuurlijk wie of wat dat zijn.
Tornadoes From the Ground up Not in the Clouds as Once Thought
Tornadoes From the Ground up Not in the Clouds as Once Thought
Historically, scientists assumed tornado rotation began in storm clouds, creating a funnel that travels downwards. This theory matches what storm chasers commonly observe visually in the field. Viewers often report seeing funnel clouds gradually descending until they make contact with the ground.
But new research combining a new type of Doppler radar with photos and videos of tornadoes formed by supercell thunderstorms shows the opposite is true: Tornadoes materialize from the ground up.
Weather forecasters typically issue tornado warnings based on radar observations of strong rotation above the ground, but the new findings suggest forecasters must re-evaluate their warning procedure, according to the researchers.

“We need to reconsider the paradigms that we have to explain tornado formation, and we especially need to communicate this to forecasters who are trying to make warnings and issue warnings,” said Jana Houser, a meteorologist at Ohio University in Athens who will present the new findings here today at the American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting. “You are not going to really ever be finding strong evidence of a tornado descending, so we need to stop making that a priority in our forecasting strategies.”
Research conducted in the 1970s suggested tornadoes form from rotation that starts several kilometers above Earth’s surface. The theory was that this funnel gradually sucked in air from below, descending until it touched the ground.
Most meteorologists have accepted this theory of tornado formation, but a series of new observations from rapidly scanning radars has started to change that.
One of the pivotal cases contributing to the new understanding of tornado formation occurred on May 31, 2013. On this day, the El Reno tornado formed in central Oklahoma and shattered previous tornado records. It was the widest tornado ever recorded, peaking at 4.2 kilometers (2.6 miles) wide, and had wind speeds of more than 480 kilometers per hour (300 miles per hour), the second-highest wind speeds recorded on Earth.

Houser and a team of researchers from the University of Oklahoma happened to be monitoring the storm with a new type of mobile Doppler radar system that collected tornado wind speeds every 30 seconds. Afterwards, Anton Seimon, a geographer at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina who had chased the El Reno storm, collected hundreds of still photos and videos of the epic twister from citizens and fellow storm chasers.
When Houser compared her radar data with images collected by Seimon, she noticed something odd. The images clearly showed a visible tornado at the ground several minutes before her radar picked it up.
Puzzled, Houser went back through her radar data and analyzed the data taken at the ground. It is typically difficult to get good radar measurements at or near the ground, but Houser and her team had deployed their instrument on a slight rise and there were no obstructions between them and the tornado, so this time, they had data good enough to work with.

She found clear evidence of rotation at the ground before there was rotation at higher altitudes. Houser then examined other sets of tornado data and found that in many cases, tornado-strength rotation develops at or near the ground first, rather than starting in the cloud itself. In all four datasets she analyzed, none of the tornadoes formed following the classical “top-down” process.
“It emphasizes the fact that we need to have strong, low-level, basically near-ground level rotation, located in the right spot, at the right time, with respect to the larger parent storm circulations in order to form a tornado,” Houser said.
As winter 2018 ensues here in America, the seasonal appearance of one of my favorite unusual natural phenomena–the so-called “mystery booms”–can generally be expected.
Although these unusual “booms” have a wide variety of causes, seasonal appearances in the winter months are sometimes associated with cryoseisms (more commonly known as frost quakes). These are cooler-weather localized phenomena that occur when explosive pressure builds up below ground, often around the time of the first significant freeze of the winter. After groundwater saturation occurs following periods of heavy rain, if temperatures drop below freezing it can result in fractures that result in localized tremors, and sometimes loud “booms” associated with the event.
While these localized “quakes” are an interesting seasonal phenomenon, there are interesting things that are sometimes associated with more conventional seismic phenomena too, such as luminous phenomena known as “earthquake lights.”

In fact, as of the time I’m writing this, a small 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred earlier this morning near the Tennessee/North Carolina border, and many residents in my region felt the quake, including yours truly. At approximately 4:16 AM local time, I felt a light, but noticeable shaking that gently rocked my entire home. Presuming it was an earthquake (since my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina is right along the Brevard Fault), I noted the time before attempting to go back to sleep, so that I could gauge whether the timing would be correct if reports the following day indicated that a quake had indeed occurred.
Sure enough, this morning reports from around the region were commenting on the earthquake (the primary 4.4 magnitude quake actually occurred at around 6:30 AM ET, so the light tremblor I felt must have preceded the later, more significant quake). It is not uncommon for lighter quakes to accompany such a seismic event, sometimes occurring before, and after the primary quake.
Here’s where things get a little interesting though; before going back to sleep, the notion struck me to look out the window to see if there were any indications of what might have caused it (apart from my presumption that a small earthquake had just occurred). Looking out the window, I noted a bright light over the horizon in the distance, which was extremely vivid and approximately 1/4 the size of the full moon. Had this been one of the infamous earthquake lights?
Earthquake lights are believed to be natural luminous phenomena that occur around regions where tectonic or seismic activity occur. These little-understood phenomena are a subject of much debate, and theories about their appearances and types of manifestation range from plasmas akin to ball lightning, to the release of gases that become airborne and may ignite, causing illuminations that become visible as they burn.
A famous example of alleged earthquake lights that appear on a recurring basis here in my region are the Brown Mountain Lights, which have been studied a variety of times over the years (to-date, the most comprehensive scientific study occurred decades ago, as undertaken by George R. Mansfield in March and April of 1922; for more on this, see USGS Circular 646, “Origin of the Brown Mountain Light in North Carolina“). Although it was Mansfield’s contention that the distant headlights of locomotives could explain most of the lights, some anecdotal evidence may suggest that the lights are frequently seen in modern times, and often above the horizon (it is this writer’s opinion that a ball-lightning-like plasma may account for at least some of the appearances of the illuminations at Brown Mountain, as potentially documented in this footage obtained by Dr. Daniel B. Caton of Appalachian State University in 2016).
All this to say, in essence, that there is a bit of history of “earthquake lights” around the Brevard Fault area, and coinciding with a small tremblor preceding a 4.4 magnitude earthquake in my region, the thought crossed my mind that I might finally be seeing one of these elusive nocturnal illuminations. It should be noted, of course, that the area over the horizon to the East where the light appeared also happened to be the general area where Venus would be visible in the early morning hours; the problem with the Venus theory, however, was that the sky was completely overcast, with a ceiling at about 36,700 feet (according to accuweather.com). Would Venus, bright though it is, have managed to cut through the dense cloud cover over Asheville this morning?
In short, yes. Venus can appear extremely bright in the early morning sky, and dialing up some stargazing software, I was able to satisfactorily reproduce the conditions of my observation while looking due east at precisely 4:16 AM. Below is a screen grab of what I found:
So at 4:16 AM as I lay awake considering whether I had just experienced an earthquake, I looked out the window and saw no earthquake light, but instead a nearby (and very bright) planet, whose reflected sunlight was cutting through the early morning overcast and giving the distinct impression of an illumination below the cloud ceiling.
What can we learn from this? Well, one of the more interesting takeaways for me was the fact that Venus appeared just as bright in the distance even with a full cloud cover. Thanks to modern star-charting software, I was able to easily determine this (as I could have done even more easily at the time of the observation, by simply using a star watching app on my smartphone, had I not been more intent on trying to go back to sleep at that moment). However, I can see how the unusual brightness of Venus could easily give an observer the impression of a light source at a much lower altitude, due to its ability to cut right through the cloud cover.
Although it’s often said that Venus is mistaken for being a UFO (probably more often than you’d think!), this would be all-the-more understandable considering that its curious brightness can cause it to look like a peculiar light hovering in front of distant clouds. In the meantime, as for any “real” earthquake lights, I suppose I’ll just have to keep looking!
Within the first week of the OSIRIS-REx probe arriving at Bennu, it has already detected water on the asteroid. On December 3, 2018, the probe reached the diamond-shaped asteroid in NASA’s first asteroid-sample return mission.
The scientific team pointed three instruments onboard the spacecraft in the direction of Bennu and started their observations. They received data from the probe’s two spectrometers – OVIRS (OSIRIS-REx Visible and Infrared Spectrometer) and OTES (OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer) – that showed the existence of molecules that contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms that are bonded together. These molecules, which are called “hydroxyls”, are believed to exist across the entire asteroid in water-bearing clay minerals that would indicate that the rocky material on Bennu connected with water at one point. Since Bennu is too small to have ever had liquid water, it’s very possible that it was present on its parent body which was a much bigger asteroid.
Amy Simon, who is the OVIRS deputy instrument scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said, “The presence of hydrated minerals across the asteroid confirms that Bennu, a remnant from early in the formation of the solar system, is an excellent specimen for the OSIRIS-REx mission to study the composition of primitive volatiles and organics.” She went on to say, “When samples of this material are returned by the mission to Earth in 2023, scientists will receive a treasure trove of new information about the history and evolution of our solar system.”
The surface of Bennu contains a mix of rocky, boulder-filled regions, as well as a few smooth regions that do not have boulders. While there are more boulders than initially thought, there is one in particular that scientists are interested in and it’s located at the asteroid’s South Pole. Initial calculations from the OCAMS (OSIRIS-REx Camera Suite) show that the huge boulder is around 164 feet high by 180 feet wide.
This mosaic image of asteroid Bennu is composed of 12 PolyCam images collected on Dec. 2 by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from a range of 15 miles (24 km).

The mission is only conducting preliminary surveys of Bennu at this point as it performs flybys over the asteroid’s North Pole, South Pole, and equator at a distance as close as 4.4 miles. Once they determine Bennu’s mass, scientists can then create a plan for the spacecraft to enter its orbit. While performing the surveys, it also gives the Canadian Space Agency’s OLA (OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter) its first chance to make observations.
The OSIRIS-REx probe will enter Bennu’s orbit on December 31st and will stay in orbit until the middle of February in 2019. At that point, it will leave the asteroid’s orbit and conduct more flybys for the following survey phase. The probe will get within one mile of the asteroid’s surface which will set a record for the closest orbit of a planetary body by a spacecraft, as well as another record for the smallest body ever orbited by a spacecraft. The OSIRIS-REx is set to leave the asteroid in March 2021 and head back to Earth.

Triangular Craft filmed during docking procedure SpaceX Dragon Capsule and the ISS?
During the live coverage on Saturday, December 8 International Space Station crew members used the station’s 57.7-foot (17.6-meter) robotic arm to capture SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and attach it to the orbiting laboratory.
But during the docking procedure of the dragon capsule and the International Space Station suddenly a triangular object comes into the view moving behind the Dragon capsule until it disappears into space.
It is unknown whether the object originated from the ISS or if it was a UFO.
Below the footage of the the triangular object that looks like a typical TR-3B at the moment it passes the Dragon capsule during the streaming of the docking procedure.

Gold UFO Seen Observing Astronaut On Spacewalk At Space Station, Dec 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Gold UFO Seen Observing Astronaut On Spacewalk At Space Station, Dec 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 2018
Location of sighting: International Space Station
This is a golden UFO that came very close to the space station yesterday. An astronaut was outside during a spacewalk rearing the outer walls insulation when an alien craft flew past observing him on live Internet camera.
The UFO is only visible due to its golden color and the bright light reflecting off the space station onto the UFO. The space station flashes at one point and the entire UFO is visible for a split second.
This is 100% proof that alien craft are closely observing the space station and highly interested in how humans deal with the stress of spacewalks.

UFO in broad daylight over New York makes comet tail to fool public, Dec 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:December 2018
Location of sighting: New York, USA
This UFO was seen over New York this week and its got people thinking it could be a comet or asteroid that got too close. NASA did say an asteroid shower was expected, but this thing looks huge. The disk like object made a comet like tail behind it to deliberately confuse and fool people into thinking its a comet. However its too far inside our atmosphere and it would be pulled in by gravity.
Sure NASA also said that comet 46P was going to be close this week, however this is within only a few miles from the surface of earth. Look at the detail on the thick disk of the spacecraft in fronton the tail. Its not a comet, NASA just saw an incoming UFO that was huge and asked them to make a tail when entering our atmosphere before they go to their base somewhere below the ocean.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The discovery of intelligent aliens would be mind-blowing in many respects, but it could present a special dilemma for the world's religions, theologians pondering interstellar travel concepts said Saturday (Oct. 1).
Christians, in particular, might take the news hardest, because the Christian belief system does not easily allow for other intelligent beings in the universe, Christian thinkers said at the 100 Year Starship Symposium, a meeting sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to discuss issues surrounding traveling to other stars.
In other words, "Did Jesus die for Klingons too?" as philosophy professor Christian Weidemannof Germany's Ruhr-University Bochum titled his talk at a panel on the philosophical and religious considerations of visiting other worlds.
"According to Christianity, an historic event some 2,000 years ago was supposed to save the whole of creation," Weidemann said. "You can grasp the conflict." [10 Alien Encounters Debunked]
Here's how the debate goes: If the whole of creation includes 125 billion galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars in each, as astronomers think, then what if some of these stars have planets with advanced civilizations, too? Why would Jesus Christ have come to Earth, of all the inhabited planets in the universe, to save Earthlings and abandon the rest of God's creatures?
Aliens and religion can still coexist
Weidemann, a self-described protestant Christian, suggested some possible solutions. Perhaps extraterrestrials aren't sinners, like humans, and therefore aren't in need of saving. However, the principle of mediocrity — the idea that your own example is most likely typical unless you have evidence to the contrary — casts doubt on this, he pointed out. [10 Wildest Ways to Contact Aliens]
"If there are extraterrestrial intelligent beings at all, it is safe to assume that most of them are sinners too," Weidemann said. "If so, did Jesus save them too? My position is no. If so, our position among intelligent beings in the universe would be very exceptional."
Another possibility is that God incarnated multiple times, sending a version of himself down to save each inhabited planet separately.
However, based on the best guesses of how many civilizations we might expect to exist in the universe, and how long planets and civilizations are expected to survive, God's incarnations would have had to be in about 250 places simultaneously at any given time, assuming each incarnation took about 30 years, Weidemann calculated.
Religious food for thought
If God truly became corporeal and took human form when Jesus Christ was born, this wouldn't have been possible, Weidemann said. [How Astronomy and Religion Intersect]
Rev. Thomas Hoffmann, a protestant pastor in Tulsa, Okla., said that the issues Weidemann raised were "really on target."
"If life is discovered elsewhere, unfortunately we need to have more discussion about it," Hoffmann said. "I think this is a very robust conversation we need to have."
While the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence would likely spur profound soul-searching for people of all faiths, many of the world's religions might have an easier time accommodating the knowledge than Christianity, said theologist Michael Waltemathe, also of the Ruhr-University Bochum.
"It seems to be only a problem of Christianity," Waltemathe said.
In Islam, for example, Muhammad was a prophet, or messenger of God, not God incarnate, so additional prophets could have simultaneously visited other planets to save extraterrestrial species, he said. And Hindus already believe in multiple deities, so accommodating more to guard over alien civilizations may not be difficult.
Ultimately, though, the discovery of intelligent aliens isn't likely to pose a serious crisis for Christianity, either, Hoffmann said. After all, the religion has survived challenging scientific revelations before.
"Religion is essentially conservative," Hoffmann told SPACE.com. "You can put almost anything in its face and it's going to shake out a little bit, and then it's going to drop right back down. We've seen this happen historically."

Fox News published astartling articleMonday (Dec. 3) with the headline "NASA scientist says Earth may have been visited by aliens." Unsurprisingly, that news rocketed around the web, with similar articles soon turning up in the New York Post, Russia Today and The Daily Wire. (Fox appears to have been the first major U.S. news source to run with the story.)
These articles are based on a document on NASA's website by Silvano Colombano, a researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. It really does argue that scientists should at least take seriously the notion that aliens may have visited planet Earth. But Colombano told Live Science that the coverage on Fox News and elsewhere misrepresented what he was trying to say when he wrote it.
"It is not accurately represented," he said. "My perspective was simply that reports of unidentified aerial phenomena should be the object of serious study, even if the chance of identification of some alien technology is very small." [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Aliens]
There's some nuance here. Colombano really does believe, as Fox News wrote, that aliens "may" have visited planet Earth. As in, it's theoretically possible that this has happened, not entirely impossible, and worth looking for evidence that it has. But that's not the same as expecting to actually find any such evidence, or believing that there's a good chance aliens are scuttling around under our noses — an impression you might get if you read Fox News's article.
Though Colombano's name and email address appear right on top of the document, he said Fox News did not contact him before publishing their story. (Live Science has reached out to Fox News to confirm this, but has not yet heard back.) Fox described the document as a "new research paper" — a term usually used to describe formal articles intended for publication in research journals and making conclusions based on evidence and the scientific method.
But that's not what this document is.
"The context was a presentation delivered last spring at a meeting of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute," he said.
"The meeting was to get feedback from scientists as to future directions for the Institute's research program," Colombano said.
The document accompanied a talk he gave in which he suggested that perhaps the notion of aliens visiting Earth isn't quite as ridiculous as most scientists believe, and that SETI might devote some resources to systematically hunting through UFO reports and other data for evidence that this has happened — to hunt for a faint, unlikely signal in a lot of messy noise.
In other words, it was a speculative piece of writing intended to persuade other scientists to spend their resources on a long-shot project — not an argument about whether or not aliens have actually visited Earth. Colombano's position is that it's possible, but not necessarily likely.

Purple UFO Videotaped over Waterford, Ireland
Purple UFO Videotaped over Waterford, Ireland
unusually colored and shaped object...
Waterford, Ireland - 12-09-18
A recent video has been uploaded to MUFON by submitter 96894. The man's wife Anita filmed two videos during the evening of December 9, 2018.
The object in question was seen over Waterford, Ireland and shows a very unusually colored and shaped object.
What we see is a purple-colored donut shape with several breaks in the circular shape. The object is adorned on top with no less than 18 brightly lit white lights.
The object fades in and out of focus from time to time, but is clearly seen most of the time. The question at hand is what this strange object is.
The UFO could be anything from an unusual drone to an inflated object of some kind, or something more sinister. Take a good look and see if you can identify it.

A protoplanetary disk is the ring of dust and gas that surrounds a young star. As time passes, the material in the disk begins to coalesce into larger and larger objects, forming everything from asteroids to entire planets.
Now, thanks to a powerful system of radio antennas in the Chilean desert, we have 20 stunning, high-resolution images of such systems — and they are more than desktop-worthy.
According to the program’s website, its goal is to study the smaller objects in protoplanetary disks to determine how those objects related to planet formation.
These images are helping it achieve that goal. According to a news release, the team was able to theorize based on this ALMA data that large planets can form much more quickly than previously thought. They also determined that the planets typically form far from their host stars.
ALMA Matters
In addition to these gorgeous — and data-rich — images produced by DSHARP, just last week an international team of researchers published the preliminary results of a survey in which it used ALMA to image 32 stars surrounded by protoplanetary disks.
Clearly, ALMA has proven to be one of our most useful tools for studying protoplanetary disks, and it’s only been operational for five years. Who knows what sorts of beautiful and useful data the array might produce in the future?
A Near Earth Object (NEO) is a comet or asteroid that’s path is pulled by gravity causing it to pass close to the Earth. There are around 19,000 NEOs that NASA and other scientific communities keep track of. Theses astronomers try to track all of these objects so that they can warn us if there is an impending collision with the Earth. Unfortunately, there is no way that they can keep track of all of these objects. Many of them aren’t noticed until after they pass the Earth; if they get noticed at all.
The thought of a NEO is already scary enough on its own but now there is a developing theory that some of these objects may contain intelligent, alien life. It is really hard for us to comprehend how this is possible but you have to remember that these alien species are thousands of years (if not more) advanced than us humans.
How Could Aliens Use a NEO as a Space Ship?
When we think about a space ship or UFO we usually think about a metal vehicle with a propulsion system of some kind. A NEO traveling at fifty-thousand miles an hour through the galaxy is the perfect vessel to use for long space flights. Some of these asteroids are big enough to support colonies of aliens. If advanced aliens colonized one of these asteroids then they could easily harness its energy.
Asteroids Are Constantly Passing Earth
NEO’s Are Not Always Predictable
One of the reasons that we think that there might be alien manipulation involved on some of these NEOs is because some of their paths seem to change in ways that are not expected to Astronomers. Astronomy is a very complicated science, that I don’t claim to understand at all, so I will just have to assume that the scientists know what they are talking about.
There are many things that us humans still don’t understand about the Universe, but one of the theories to why these objects change courses unexpectedly is because they are being manipulated, intentionally, by an intelligent alien.
Turning An Asteroid Into a Space Ship or UFO
The process of turning an asteroid into a space ship is more plausiblethan you might think. Catching up to the asteroid would be the hardest part. Once a colony of aliens or alien androids are on the object, they could manipulate its trajectory pretty easily. Turning the object would only take a little nudge of a propulsion device. The aliens could also speed up the asteroid by using the gravity of larger objects. By using these techniques, an alien, asteroid space ship could travel indefinitely through the universe while using almost no power.
Time is Relative
If you are like me then you are probably already poking holes in this theory. It is just a theory after all. So is Theoretical Physics but people act like string theory is a fact. Anyways. One of the problems with this theory is that even though these asteroids are traveling at really high speeds, it would still take them forever to get anywhere. When objects are thousands of light years away, thousands of miles an hour isn’t fast enough to get anywhere.
While time and distance do cause problems with this theory, it doesn’t completely destroy it. This mode of transportation would be useful for long-term missions. You always have to remember that this space ship isn’t full of humans. Aliens life spans could be tens of thousands of years. Or more! A really advanced species of aliens could have learned how to fight off death permanently. Eternal life is already in the works here on Earth, so I am sure that advanced aliens have already thought about it. If aliens could live this long then to them a few thousand years trip would be possible.
Good Ole Suspended Animation
We can’t forget about the old Sci Fi classic idea of suspended animation either. While it is just a movie trick here on Earth, aliens could really be using this method to travel for long periods of space and time. Other ways to get around the slow travel speed of using a NEO as a space ship are wormholes, warp engines and androids. If a typical alien UFO can do it then one of these converted asteroids can too. We can’t comprehend what these advanced alien species are capable of. This is why they were so often confused with Gods in the past.
UFOs Asteroid Air Craft Carrier
I hope that, by reading this, you now realize how possible it is that aliens could be using NEOs as space ships. It doesn’t have to be an object near Earth, of course, but that is probably the only way that we will ever find out about it. At least in our life times. Aliens could be using these asteroids like we use air craft carriers. Maybe one day, a fleet of UFOs will pop out of a passing comet or asteroid. Hopefully they will be friendly. Until then, we will keep speculating and watching the skies.
No, it’s not a Shadow of the Colossus movie. It’s Captive State.

We hate to be presumptuous, but this new trailer blew us away, so there’s a chance it might do the same for you.
So far, trailers for Captive Statehavebeen good. No better, no worse, just good. The framing of the film, set in a world years after aliens have invaded and won, is excellent, but so far its trailers have focused on the film’s more personal aspects. This new trailer, though? Holy shit. It opens things up in a major, major way. Check it out.
Look at all those aliens! Those spaceships! That political intrigue! The father-and-son dynamics! All of those things and more (like that awesome cast: John Goodman! Vera Farmiga!) make this movie look pretty special. Then again, that’s the job of a trailer—to make anything look good—so there’s always an outside chance the movie won’t live up to all this promise.
But, we don’t think so. That footage and cast are too good, and director Rupert Wyatt is too talented to waste such an incredible premise. If the movie ended up being bad, it would be an awful disappointment.
FIRST LOOK One of the first images NASA’s Parker Solar Probe took during its close encounter with the sun shows a streamer of plasma in the outer solar atmosphere, or corona. The probe took this image November 8 at a distance of about 27 million kilometers from the sun’s surface. The bright dot below the streamer is Jupiter.
PARKER SOLAR PROBE/NASA AND NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has met the sun and lived to tell the tale.
The sun-grazing spacecraft has already broken the records for the fastest space probe and the nearest brush any spacecraft has made with the sun. Now the probe is sending data back from its close solar encounter, scientists reported December 12 at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Washington, D.C.
“What we are looking at now is completely brand new,” solar physicist Nour Raouafi of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Md., said at a news conference. “Nobody looked at this before.”
Parker launched August 12 (SN Online: 8/12/18) and will make 24 close passes by the sun over the next seven years, eventually going to within about 6 million kilometers of the sun’s surface (SN: 7/21/18, p. 12). The spacecraft made its first close flyby November 6, swooping to within roughly 24 million kilometers of the solar surface. That’s about twice as close to the sun as the previous closest spacecraft, the Helios spacecraft in the 1970s. At peak speed, Parker was racing at about 375,000 kilometers per hour, roughly twice Helios’ speed.
But because the probe was on the opposite side of the sun from Earth during the flyby, Parker didn’t start relaying its observations until December 7.
After the probe emerged from behind the sun, the Parker team got its first up-close look at the wispy outer solar atmosphere, called the corona. One of the first images from Parker’s camera shows unprecedented detail in a solar streamer, a filament of plasma in the corona. The team hopes that Parker’s data will help solve the mystery of why the corona is about 300 times as hot as the sun’s surface (SN Online: 8/20/17).
Only about one-fifth of the data recorded during Parker’s initial flyby will reach scientists before the sun gets between Earth and the spacecraft again. The rest of the data will be downlinked next year, between March and May. Scientists hope to start publishing results soon after.
“If you ask any scientist in the team or even outside what to expect, I think the answer would be, we don’t really know,” Raouafi said. “We are almost certain we’ll make new discoveries.”
Risk of impact! Dangerous asteroid "BENNU" racing towards the earth
The asteroid "Bennu" is still racing towards our planet (TAG24 reported). It weighs 79 million tons and has a diameter of 500 meters. What can save us now?
Or better, who can save us now? Answer: NASA! They already have a "plan" to avert the impact and annihilation of mankind.
NASA has sent the "Osiris Rex" probe into space for this purpose. And now - after two years and over 650 million kilometres covered - it has finally reached "Bennu"!
"We have arrived", was the message from the US space agency Nasa on Monday. The arrival position of the probe, which was launched in September 2016 from the Cape Canaveral spaceport, is about 20 kilometres from "Bennu".
"Osiris Rex" will now spend about a year investigating Bennu and finding a suitable site for taking a sample.
"Osiris Rex" (short for: Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) is the first US missile to set off for an asteroid and send a sample back.
If everything goes according to plan, the probe, which is about six meters long and weighs 2100 kilograms, will approach Bennu in 2020 so far that it can absorb a sample of 60 to 2000 grams.
In 2023, a capsule with the sample is to return to Earth. The NASA scientists hope that the mission, which will cost around one billion dollars, will provide them with insights into the origin of our solar system. According to the scientists, the asteroid is to be destroyed.
For this even nuclear missiles could be used. But then there is also the danger that irradiated asteroid pieces will calculate the earth.
The deep black Bennu with a diameter of 500 meters should soon come very close to the earth. As date for a possible impact the 25th September 2135 was computed.
Thus already in 117 years. And the impact risk exists! Soothing: It is very low, according to NASA. Nevertheless, "Bennu" is one of the most dangerous asteroids currently known.

Triangular Shaped Object Spotted On Night Vision Over Melbourne, Dec. 8, 2018
On December 8, YouTube's "UFO Lou" caught a triangular shaped object, moving quickly with his P8079HP Night Vision Device. Kind of makes me want to build a night scope, to mount somehow on my Nikon Coolpix P900. Definitely, some weird stuff flying overhead in our darkened skies.
