Astronomers studying a globular star cluster accidentally discovered a more-distant galaxy behind it. The little galaxy is 30 million light-years away and is nicknamed Bedin 1. The videos in this post take you there.
The computer animation above uses data from the Hubble Space Telescope, and from ground-based telescopes, to take you on a trip through the globular cluster NGC 6752. It shows a newly discovered dwarf galaxy – called Bedin 1 – hidden behind the globular cluster’s stars. Astronomers found this little galaxy while using the Hubble Space Telescope to photograph the globular star cluster, which is located 13,000 light-yearsaway in the halo of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The newly known galaxy is approximately 2,300 times farther away than the foreground cluster. Still, on the vast distance scale used by astronomers, the newly discovered galaxy is said to be:
… in our own cosmic backyard, only 30 million light-years away.
These astronomers described their new discovery January 10, 2019, in the peer-reviewed journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society – Letters.
Below is another video, which also takes you on a journey to the globular cluster NGC 6752. The final view, from the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the bright stars of the cluster, as well as a collection of faint stars; these faint stars are part of the background galaxy.
The newly discovered object is classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy because it measures only around 3,000 light-years across at its greatest extent (barely 1/30th the diameter of our Milky Way). It’s roughly 1,000 times dimmer than the Milky Way. Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are defined by their small size, low luminosity, lack of dust and old stellar populations. Thirty-six galaxies of this type are already known to exist in our Local Group of galaxies, 22 of which are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. The new galaxy is beyond the Local Group, however.
Because of its 13-billion-year-old age, and its isolation — which resulted in hardly any interaction with other galaxies — the dwarf is the astronomical equivalent of a living fossil from the early universe.
The discovery of Bedin 1 was a truly serendipitous find. Very few Hubble images allow such faint objects to be seen, and they cover only a small area of the sky. Future telescopes with a large field of view, such as the WFIRST telescope, will have cameras covering a much larger area of the sky and may find many more of these galactic neighbors.

Bottom line: Astronomers studying the relatively nearby globular star cluster NGC 6752 stumbled upon a more-distant galaxy behind it. The little galaxy is 30 million light-years away and is nicknamed Bedin 1.

Book of Enoch: “Fallen angels are imprisoned in Antarctica” (Video)
Book of Enoch: “Fallen angels are imprisoned in Antarctica” (Video)
On March 14, Israel News Live published a story entitled "The fallen angels imprisoned in Antarctica and are still alive." The commentator, Steven Ben-Nun, analyzed Enoch's apocryphal book, which describes the experiences of Enoch, Biblical figure, who was taken to heaven to witness and play a key role in a greater heavenly conflict.
Enoch became the chief intermediary between the two sides of the conflict between the "fallen angels" and the "right angels" who served a deity known as "the Lord." There were multiple problems in the conflict, such as fallen angels, interbreeding and / or performing genetic experiments on humanity, and transmitting knowledge and technologies forbidden to human civilization still in development.
The Book of Enoch begins with the arrival of 200 Fallen Angels in the area of Mount Hermon, which borders modern Lebanon and Syria. The Fallen Angels began to cross and / or genetically modify the local inhabitants.
6.1 And it came to pass that when the children of men were increased, beautiful and beautiful daughters were born to them in those days.
6.2 And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them and wished them. And they said to one another, "Come, let us choose for us wives, for the children of men, and beget children for us."
6.6 And they were altogether two hundred, and they came down upon Ardis, which is the top of Mount Hermon. And they called to the mountain of Hermon, because in it they swore and bound one another with curses.
While the fallen angels had established an outpost on Mount Hermon, it was Antarctica that would be removed for finally after losing the celestial battle with the just angels, according to Ben-Nun's analysis of the Book of Enoch.
Ben-Nun quotes passages from the Book of Enoch that are very suggestive of Antarctica, as well as the place where Enoch was taken to witness heavenly events:
18.5 And I saw the winds on the earth that hold the clouds and I saw the ways of the angels. I saw the end of the Earth; The firmament of Heaven above.
18.6 And I went southward, and it burned day and night, where there were seven mountains of precious stones, three toward the east and three toward the south.
18.7 And those from the east were of colored stone, and one of pearls, and another of healing stone; And those of the south, of red stone.
18.8 And the means reached Heaven, like the throne of the Lord, from Estibio, and the top of the throne was sapphire.
What is interesting in the previous passage is that Enoch refers to a place that "was burning day and night." Ben-Nun believes that this fits the description of Antarctica during the southern hemisphere's summer season when there are 24 hours of sunlight.
As for the seven mountains, this seems to refer to Mount Vinson in the Sentinel Range of Antarctica, according to Ben-Nun. It also refers to six nearby mountains in the range that could qualify as the mountains described in the Book of Enoch.
Mt Vinson is the highest mountain in Antarctica, and is towards the center of the Sentinela Range. It would have stood out so spectacularly with its snow-capped peaks in antiquity, as it does today.
All this leads to an intriguing question. Is Goode himself a modern Enoch who is given a key role in witnessing and mediating between different human and extraterrestrial factions as the Sphere delegate that is the Alliance, which seems to be functionally identical to the omniscient deity described in the Book of Enoch? If so, this would suggest that Enoch himself was an extraterrestrial contactee of the Sphere Alliance Being or a similar group 13,000 years ago.
If the Pre-Adamite / Fallen Angels are awakened / liberated, then there will certainly be a need to deal with them and their hybrid springtime about what roles they should play while humanity awakens to the truth of their history, and manipulation by multiple extraterrestrial groups and elite families.
Norio Hayakawa, a resident of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, has been engaged in the study of UFOs for more than fifty years. An expert on Nevada’s Area 51 and the alleged underground base near Dulce, New Mexico, he was responsible for organising ‘The Dulce Base: Fact or Fiction?’ conference – the first event of its kind ever held – which took place in the town of Dulce in March 2009. During his many years as a UFO lecturer, activist, and researcher, he’s brushed shoulders with such well-known figures as the late William ‘Bill’ Cooper, Bob Lazar and the late Gabe Valdez.
Much of Hayakawa’s research focuses on the technological-militaristic and socio-political aspects of the UFO phenomenon – an area overlooked by most other UFO researchers. A unique and discerning voice in the field of UFOlogy, he suggests there’s been an effort on the part of the authorities, for reasons both disturbing and far-reaching, to manipulate the public’s beliefs concerning UFOs and aliens. Like Dr. Jacques Vallée and others, he isn’t afraid to point out the shortcomings of the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), while at the same time maintaining an open-mind. Hayakawa kindly agreed to discuss his work with New Dawn magazine.
LOUIS PROUD (LP):Can you please describe your background and how you came to develop an interest in the UFO phenomenon?
NORIO HAYAKAWA (NH): I started getting really involved with UFO research around 1961, when I was a sophomore in high school. However, when I was in elementary school beginning in the early 1950s I had already known about ‘flying saucers’ because I used to listen to my father tell me of his sighting of a strangely manoeuvring green ‘ball’ of fire, which took place when he was fishing one summer night in 1947, in the Bay of Yokohama, Japan. My father was quite familiar with shooting stars and other astronomical phenomena, because he had spent years night fishing and was so used to looking at night skies. But that particular summer night in 1947 was definitely unforgettable to him, he used to tell our family at our dining table as he enthusiastically described his sighting to us.
From 1961, I started getting involved and began to subscribe to newsletters of NICAP [National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena] and APRO [Aerial Phenomena Research Organization] and other groups in the US, even though I was living in Japan. I also began to attend meetings of UFO investigation groups in the Yokohama and Tokyo areas. In 1964, when I was attending college in Tokyo, I became fascinated by a newspaper article about a strange encounter involving a highway patrol officer named Lonnie Zamora who claimed to have witnessed a flying saucer sitting on the desert, just outside of a sleepy little town in New Mexico, US, by the name of Socorro. Of course, that was the famous Socorro incident of 1964. The sighting really convinced me that I have to get to the bottom of this strange phenomenon.
LP: You say the authorities have exploited and benefited from the UFO phenomenon, by using it as a smokescreen for various top secret militaristic projects.
NH: Many defence contractors in the US periodically create ‘cover’ stories in order to detract attention away from covert military projects by some curious segment of the population. These ‘cover’ stories sometimes involve false UFO sighting reports. Such reports are frequently used when contractors come up with new military weapons systems or new military aircraft and so on – for example, new generations of remotely-controlled platforms for various programs. Creating the so-called ‘laughter curtain’ (i.e., bringing up the subject of UFOs or aliens) is one way to curtail serious scrutiny of certain military bases or programs. A very good example is how Area 51, a very important military research, development and testing location, has become associated with rumours of UFOs or aliens. This may well have been concocted by the Air Force itself, for example.
LP: You seem to disagree with the mainstream scientific notion that we have all the answers concerning UFO activity on Earth – or in other words there is no UFO “cover up.” In fact, you’ve stated the authorities are just as baffled by the UFO phenomenon as the general population. Moreover, you suggest the authorities have tried (and are still trying) to promote among the public certain beliefs concerning UFOs – namely, that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft piloted by physical entities – as part of a sinister and elaborate psychological manipulation program.
NH: I am of the opinion that the government, or ‘authorities’, are just as perplexed about the nature of the UFO phenomenon as the public. The only reason they have not disclosed anything conclusive despite many years of research and collection of vital sighting report files is because they are unable to explain it to the public, having long known that the phenomenon cannot be sufficiently explained simply through contemporary, empirical science. The government has never been in the business of explaining anything that is outside of empirical scientific explanations. The UFO phenomenon seems to go beyond just being a physical phenomenon.
LP: What is your perspective on Operation Paperclip?
NH: We cannot underestimate the importance of Operation Paperclip in the aftermath of WWII. Operation Paperclip was a US sanctioned program through which hundreds of former Nazi German scientists and engineers (and even former SS intelligence officers) were brought to the US in order for the US to acquire some of the interesting military technologies that the Germans already had in the late 1930s and early 1940s, such as advanced rocket science and development of prototypes of flying wing aircraft – some of which were even equipped with ramjet engines and attained speeds of up to 500 or 600 miles per hour. New Mexico was one of the primary locations for these scientists because New Mexico already had important laboratories such as Los Alamos, and also important rocket testing ranges such as White Sands. Even today, White Sands Missile Range is the location of the most advanced testing of directed energy weapons systems, with the use of lasers and microwaves.
LP: What is Project Blue Beam and how does it tie into your research and the notion of a coming global crisis?
NH: Project Blue Beam is an alleged secret and futuristic NASA program in which advanced technologies (such as the use of airborne holographic projection devices and manipulation of various frequency waves) could be utilised to create fake visual/audio simulations to convince the public (or the enemy) that they are witnessing a real event – whatever that scenario may be.
The late Canadian investigative journalist Serge Monast (left), with whom I corresponded in 1993 and 1994, was the first to come up with the allegation that NASA will develop this technology in the near future. HAARP, which began to be talked about in the early 1990s, was basically another version of Project Blue Beam, utilising some of the Tesla technologies. According to some researchers, programs such as HAARP and the Blue Beam Project could be utilised in the future to generate panic (such as by creating a fake ‘extraterrestrial invasion’ scenario) so that the frightened and deceived public would clamour for some type of global authority and unity to fend off such ‘threats’.
LP: Could you please elaborate on the notion of a “fake ‘extraterrestrial invasion’ scenario,” using Project Blue Beam and HAARP technologies, as a way to enforce a totalitarian one-world government, or ‘New World Order’?
NH: If there really exists a global cabal whose long-term plan is to enforce a global government, the most logical way to carry out this plan would be to create an absolutely convincing need for such an authority. The ultimate means to achieve such a plan would be to artificially generate worldwide panic by staging a fake ‘extraterrestrial threat’ through the use of such technologies as HAARP and the alleged Project Blue Beam. An unprecedented series of global crises such as natural catastrophes or conflagrations (both of which could also be created) would be the final condition under which such schemes would be realised.
LP: During a recent interview on Truth Connections Radio you made a comment to the effect that there would no UFO history were it not for the US state of New Mexico.
NH: The importance of New Mexico can be seen from the fact that the atomic bomb was first tested in this state. New Mexico is the location of Los Alamos National Laboratory, probably the world’s largest conglomerate military/scientific research community. Los Alamos, by the way, has the world’s most advanced DNA, human genome, and genetics facilities in the world. Albuquerque, New Mexico is the headquarters of Sandia National Laboratories, which, located inside Kirtland Air Force Base, is probably the world’s largest military research, development and testing conglomerate.
New Mexico is such a huge state in size (the fifth largest in the Union), yet is scarcely populated in proportion to its huge area. Even today, the total population of New Mexico is about two million. It has enough space to conduct any kind of covert military research, development and testing programs. By the way, there are more scientists per population in New Mexico than in any other state. Yet the irony is that the level of public education in New Mexico ranks about 48th in the nation.
As I stated earlier, the White Sands Missile Range is today the location of the world’s most advanced directed energy weapons testing programs, involving lasers and microwaves. If aliens really exist, then this, for obvious reasons, would definitely be the primary place of interest to them. In fact, many people seem to believe that an extraterrestrial spacecraft has already crashed in New Mexico (the famous Roswell UFO incident of 1947).
LP: There is said to be a clandestine (and possibly extraterrestrial) underground facility near the town of Dulce, New Mexico – a topic on which you’ve conducted an extensive amount of research. What are some of the discoveries you’ve made concerning Dulce?
NH: Although I have been involved with investigations into the claims of an alleged underground joint US-alien base in Dulce (alleged biological laboratory) for many years, I have yet to see any solid, tangible, physical, irrefutable documentary evidence whatsoever of its existence. Yet, I can also say there seems to be lots of circumstantial evidence that there is ‘something’ there. What that ‘something’ is, I still do not know.
LP: What is your take on the cattle mutilation mystery?
NH: The cattle mutilation mystery, to my knowledge, began to be reported primarily in the mid-1970s in the Dulce, New Mexico and southern Colorado areas. It is my conjecture that it may have had something to do with the government’s monitoring of radiation levels of certain cows in the northern New Mexico region, especially in the aftermath of alleged radiation leaks that began to affect animals and even humans in the Dulce vicinity, after the US exploded an atomic device deep underground, about 22 miles southwest of Dulce in 1967. This experiment, codenamed Project Gasbuggy, was realised by the US Atomic Energy Commission, ostensibly to help ease the flow of natural gas trapped deep beneath hard rocks in the Dulce region. The high rate of cancer in the Dulce area as well as widespread fertility problems among young women in the area is quite noticeable, even today. Plus, there is a possibility the government may have used the Dulce area as a dumping ground for toxic waste materials, besides possibly conducting some form of bio-warfare research involving substances such as anthrax.
The cattle mutilation incidents may also have been a series of staged events by the government to cause local people and the public to believe that Dulce is somehow associated with alien visitation. The late Gabe Valdez, a former New Mexico state patrol officer in charge of the entire Dulce region for many years, also seemed to come to that conclusion. He further concluded that UFO incidents were staged by the government with the use of holographic projections and other mind-control technologies then being developed at places such as Sandia National Laboratories.
LP: Please shed some light on your association with the late Milton William Cooper (otherwise known as William ‘Bill’ Cooper) – the famous conspiracy theorist and author of Behold a Pale Horse – and how his work is of relevance to your own.
NH: When William ‘Bill’ Cooper first came on the scene in 1989 in Los Angeles, I was quite impressed with his speeches. He had brought a new, global conspiracy-type angle to the UFO phenomenon, which sounded very fresh and exciting to lots of us in the so-called UFO community, including myself. I even helped him launch his first public lecture at Hollywood High School in 1989.
As the years went by, Cooper began to disassociate himself from UFOlogy. He went into the ‘militia’ or ‘Patriot’ movement and, unfortunately, met a violent death in 2001 in Arizona. What I admired about Cooper, despite his well-known obnoxious and rather egotistical personality, was the fact that he began to admit that he may have been purposely shown disinformation by the Navy concerning UFOs. He also began to believe that in the future a secret global government could even stage a ‘fake’ extraterrestrial event to create panic in order to establish a forced global governance of some type.
LP: What do you make of the claims of Robert ‘Bob’ Lazar – who says he took part in a top secret government project, based at Area 51 [Nevada, USA], to reverse-engineer recovered extraterrestrial spacecraft – and others who’ve come forward with similar sensational stories?
NH: The claims of Bob Lazar are simply claims and cannot be verified. However, over all these years Lazar has never changed his story. The very fact that Lazar still has a scientific equipment business in Michigan (United Nuclear) and still seems to be doing occasional work indirectly with some defence contractors seems to indicate he is indeed knowledgeable in the scientific applications associated with military technologies. But there is also a theory that Lazar was intentionally manipulated by the government to strengthen the ‘extraterrestrial’ element to the Area 51 story, thus bringing about the ‘laughter curtain’ whenever discussion of this important military base is brought up by the public.
LP: In your opinion, the UFO phenomenon is non-physical in nature, having nothing to do with flesh-and-blood extraterrestrial beings. Alternately, you’ve expressed a strong appreciation of Dr. Jacques Vallée’s extra-dimensional hypothesis, which interprets UFO events in terms of other “dimensions” or “realities” existing alongside our own.
NH: The vast majority of the world’s scientists as well as the public at large seem convinced there has to be advanced extraterrestrial civilisations elsewhere in the universe. However, when it comes to the question of UFOs most of them do not support the theory that we have ever been (or are being) visited by physical extraterrestrial beings in physical spacecraft; physically it is impossible, they say. Even Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most brilliant minds, while acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrial civilisations are almost certain, says that no aliens have ever come to earth in UFOs.
But the UFO phenomenon seems to be real. I totally agree with Vallée, who continues to support the extra-dimensional origins of UFOs. I also tend to believe that UFOs are not objects nor are they flying. I tend to believe they are temporarily materialising and dematerialising – in other words, intruding into our dimension for reasons unknown and receding back quickly into their dimension. UFO reports have existed from time immemorial. Even today we do not comprehend the true nature of this puzzling phenomenon.
LP: You once worked as a licensed funeral director, while some of your blog posts concern philosophical topics such as death and the afterlife. Do you believe these topics are of relevance to the UFO phenomenon and, if so, how?
NH: The world is filled with mysteries. There are things in this world that cannot be sufficiently explained. Life and death are mysteries unto themselves. So, in this sense, the UFO phenomenon is no different from the mysteries of life and death. The phenomenon, which has existed from time immemorial (i.e. sighting reports), has not been solved yet. This is the reason I am so fascinated with the topic. The world would be dull without such mysteries. In fact, as I’ve stated many times in my public presentations, the UFO phenomenon is perhaps the most important topic of mankind.
Verborgen 13e-eeuwse teksten vertellen verhalen over Merlijn de tovenaar en koning Arthur beetje anders - HLN.be
Verborgen 13e-eeuwse teksten vertellen verhalen over Merlijn de tovenaar en koning Arthur beetje anders - HLN.be
WETENSCHAPAan de universiteit van Bristol (Engeland) heeft een bibliothecaris zeven waardevolle pagina’s handgeschreven teksten ontdekt die vertellen over de avonturen van Merlijn en koning Arthur. Het zou gaan om documenten waarop Sir Thomas Malory, de auteur van de verhalen zoals wij ze kennen, zich baseerde.
Waarom de kostbare documenten nooit eerder werden ontdekt? Ze werden als boekenkaft gebruikt van een 16e-eeuws boek, aldus de bibliothecaris van de universiteitsbibliotheek Michael Richardson. Oude teksten werden vroeger wel vaker hergebruikt om boeken te binden. Richardson was eigenlijk op zoek naar middeleeuwse teksten voor enkele studenten toen hij op de bijzondere vondst stootte.
Toveren kan hij niet, maar de bibliothecaris voelde zich alvast betoverd nadat hij ontdekte dat de zeven onbekende handgeschreven perkamenten over Merlijn de tovenaar, koning Arthur, vrienden én vijanden handelden.
De verraste bibliothecaris herkende al snel enkele namen uit het tijdperk van koning Arthur en verwittigde bevoegde collega’s. Het team ontdekte dat de teksten oorspronkelijk deel uitmaakten van een vierdelige editie van de Oudfranse reeks van Jean de Gerson, een befaamd theoloog en kanselier van de Universiteit van Parijs. De reeks zou een eeuw later deel uitmaken van de “Lancelot-Graalcyclus”, een 13e-eeuwse tekst over de zoektocht van de ridder Lancelot naar de Heilige Graal. Vermoedelijk baseerde de al even bekende Sir Thomas Malory zijn verhalen over koning Arthur en zijn ridders (Le Morte d’Arthur) op de verhalen van zijn 13e-eeuwe voorganger.
“De verhalen in de Bristol-fragmenten zijn echter niet precies hetzelfde als de klassieke verhalen, zoals wij ze kennen, van koning Arthur”, aldus Leah Tether, Brits onderzoeksdirecteur van de International Arthurian Society. De fragmenten van Thomas Malory, die tussen 1494 en 1502 werden gedrukt in Straatsburg, bevatten subtiele maar significante verschillen”, vervolgt ze. “Deze fragmenten uit het verhaal van Merlijn en koning Arthur zijn een wonderbaarlijk spannende vondst die mogelijk gevolgen heeft voor het onderzoek. Niet enkel voor de interpretatie van dergelijke teksten, maar ook voor ons moderne begrip van de Arthur-legende.”
Verschillen
Tot nu toe bestudeerden de onderzoekers slechts een fractie van de teksten. Zo konden ze alvast ontcijferen dat de tekst handelt over de strijd met de fictieve Frankische koning Claudas. Merlijn plande die aanval zorgvuldig, maar in werkelijkheid was de veldslag gruwelijker dan verwacht waarbij de manschappen van koning Arthur en vrienden heel wat tegenslagen te verwerken kregen.
In het heetst van de strijd zou Merlijn zelf met een vaandel met daarop een draak die vuur spuwt ten strijde zijn getrokken. Na heel wat escapades en beproevingen richt Merlijn zich met enkele wijze woorden tot de troepen waarna ze eindelijk zegevieren.
Koning Claudas zou volgens de gevonden teksten gewond geraakt zijn, maar hoe dat gebeurt, blijft onbesproken. In de klassieke vertellingen van Sir Thomas Malory staat echter te lezen dat hij in zijn dij geraakt wordt, een metafoor voor impotentie. “Er zijn veel meer verschillen, maar vanwege de schade aan de fragmenten, zal het tijd kosten om de inhoud correct te ontcijferen”, aldus Leah Tether.
In 1989, Ed Conroy, a San Antonio, Texas-based journalist, wrote a book titledReport on Communion. It was an independent study of Whitley Strieber and his incredible experiences, as told in Strieber’s 1987 best-seller Communion. In taking on the project, Conroy didn’t realize what he had got himself into. At least, not at first he didn’t. What began as an impartial investigation into Strieber’s claims, soon mutated into something very different: Conroy found himself under similar intimidation to that which would eventually hit the Strieber family. Weird phone calls, secret surveillance and – even – visits from our old friends, those mysterious black helicopters, whose crews keep more than a careful watch on alien abductees, abounded.
It was in the latter part of 1986 that Conroy was given a copy of the original manuscript of Communion. Initially, at least, Conroy didn’t display too much enthusiasm for the book. That is, until he read the book – as well as various other books from Strieber, too, including the truly chilling 1984 book, Warday, which is a hair-raising tale of a disastrous, limited nuclear exchange between the United States and the former Soviet Union. Conroy was now interested; very interested. Conroy was clearly destined to dig further, which he did. That Strieber was from San Antonio and Conroy worked there, made things easier, too. Conroy did an extensive interview with Strieber in April 1987, followed by a face to face meeting three months later. Conroy was, initially, planning to write an article or several on Strieber. He quickly realized, though, that there was enough material for a book – a book that would address the many and various intricacies from a detached, open-minded perspective. Conroy was destined not to remain detached though, and particularly so when he too was caught up in a definitive maelstrom of mystery and conspiracy.
On one occasion, at the height of his research into Strieber’s story, Conroy encountered in his very own bedroom what he described as “a kind of shadow man, completely black, poised in the classic pose of Rodin’s ‘The Thinker.’” This sounds very much like what, today, are known as the Shadow People – malevolent, supernatural entities that have clear and undeniable links to the equally sinister Men in Black, who have nothing to do with the government (despite what the phenomenally successful Men in Black movies might suggest…) and everything to do with the UFO phenomenon itself. Strange noises plagued Conroy, waking him from a dead sleep, almost in a manipulative, playful fashion, but which bordered upon the unsettling. Then, there was the matter of those infamous copters.
It was one particular morning in March 1987 that Ed Conroy found himself a target of whoever it is that flies the mysterious helicopters. It appeared to be a Bell 47, said Conroy, and it lacked an identifying markings – which is very curious, but absolutely typical of the helicopters of the phantom type. Notably, said Conroy: “What was remarkable about this particular helicopter was the inordinate amount of attention it seemed to be paying to my building.” In no time, and shortly after the Bell 47 finally exited the area, a totally black helicopter was on the scene too. Follow-up visits occurred – something which prompted Conroy to contact the Federal Aviation Administration for answers. No luck there. Things got even more intense in 1988 when Conroy was practically seeing helicopters here, there and everywhere. And particularly, again, in the direct vicinity of his apartment, including the huge, double-rotor, military Chinooks. Conroy even saw some of the helicopters vanish – as in literally vanish. Some kind of stealthy, cloaking technology, perhaps?
Then, in June 1988 something else happened: while Conroy was out of town, someone changed the message on his answerphone, in his apartment. And it was changed again. And again. Clearly, someone was screwing with Conroy – perhaps even trying to plunge him into states of paranoia and fear. On top of that, Conroy started to hear strange clicking noises on his phone. Weird, unintelligible voices would call, saturated in electric static and which echoed the tactics of the Men in Black when, in the 1960s John Keel was investigating the infamous wave of “Mothman” sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Such are the strange situations that can occur when we delve into the UFO puzzle.

UFOs shooting up into the sky and leaving huge holes in the clouds over Mt. Vernon, Washington
UFOs shooting up into the sky and leaving huge holes in the clouds over Mt. Vernon, Washington
On January 28, 2019 something strange happened over Washington and Mt. Vernon. Many people witnessed what they call "fallstreak holes" in the sky.
Now it is said that a "fallstreak hole" form in high altitude clouds when the temperature drops below 00 C but the water droplets in the cloud do not freeze, they remain in a super cooled liquid state. When suddenly a disturbance occurs, per perhaps a plane flies by, the sub-zero water droplets begin to crystallize in a wave expanding outwards from the point of the disturbance with as a result the ice crystals billow from the resulting "hole."
So far a reasonable explanation for the strange "holes' in the clouds. But what if such a "hole" in the clouds has been caused by something else.
On the same day, a person has not only photographed two enormous "holes' in the sky over Mt. Vernon WA but he saw two large objects moving approx. 150 mph; then turning sharply and ascended above the clouds and the clouds dispersed.
Huge "UFO" hole Mt. Vernon - January 28, 2019.
He made the following statement:
I was pulled over letting my dog run and I happened to notice something moving about 1000 ft up just above me. I immediately could tell it was something I had never seen before they were both cigar-shaped metallic and traveling approximately quarter mile apart but in the same exact direction.
They made a sharp kind of right and upward turn very quickly and headed straight up.
It's at that point when I started to grab my phone to take a picture. There seemed to be small puffs of smoke or vapor coming out from behind as they reached almost the cloud layer then disappeared above the clouds.
As I was setting my phone to camera after unlocking the phone and zooming out as far as it would zoom I looked up to aim and there were two huge holes if you will in the clouds.

I snapped the photos, which I have submitted to Mufon for further investigation, and literally within 2 minutes the clouds were back to normal.
I heard nothing during this whole instance. I was very excited and absolutely could not believe what I had just saw right after that instant I heard too low booms kind of like a sonic boom and had to think it had something to do with the two craft I saw basically disappear in front of me.
Huge "UFO" holes Washington - January 28, 2019.
In summary: It appears that these "holes" are not only caused by a natural phenomenon but by cloaked or de-cloaked UFOs too. At the moment a UFO shoots up into the sky, going through the cloud layer before disappearing above the clouds, it leaves a huge hole and a boom can be heard.
Meteoriet die tijdens maansverduistering op de maan insloeg, was zo groot als een strandbal
Meteoriet die tijdens maansverduistering op de maan insloeg, was zo groot als een strandbal
Vivian Lammerse
De ruimtesteen raakte onze natuurlijke satelliet met een snelheid van zo’n 47.000 km/u.
Vorige week maandag was er op veel plekken op de wereld, waaronder België en Nederland, eentotale maansverduistering te zien. Geschat wordt dat één op de vier mensen op aarde het bijzondere verschijnsel kon meemaken. Maar de maansverduistering was niet het enige wat men kon aanschouwen. Want terwijl miljoenen mensen hun ogen hadden gericht op de ‘bloedsuperwolfmaan’ merkten sommigen ook een mysterieuze lichtflits op. Was dit een meteoriet die op de maan insloeg? Hoewel experts in de eerste plaats wat sceptisch reageerden, kwam twee dagen later het verlossende antwoord: de maan was inderdaad tijdens de verduistering ook geraakt door een meteoriet!
Ruimtesteen Hoewel de maan eigenlijk permanent wordt geraakt door los slingerende ruimtestenen – geschat wordt dat er elk uur wel een klein stukje ruimtesteen op het onbeschermde oppervlak van de maan terecht komt – was het toch erg bijzonder, aangezien miljoenen mensen getuige waren. Dat er tegelijkertijd zowel een maansverduistering, als een meteorietinslag plaatsvond, is natuurlijk op zich al een uitzonderlijke gebeurtenis. Maar daarnaast hebben honderduizenden mensen het event ook nog eens op beeld vastgelegd. En dit bood een unieke kans om de impact op de maan in groot detail te bestuderen.

Analyse Een analyse van de beelden door een Colombiaans en Dominicaans onderzoeksteam onthult de eerste aanwijzingen over de oorsprong en aard van het object dat op de maan insloeg. Zo zeggen de onderzoekers dat de waargenomen lichtflits geproduceerd werd door een meteoriet ter grootte van een strandbal (30-50 cm). De ruimtesteen was zo’n 20 tot 100 kilo zwaar en stortte neer op onze natuurlijke satelliet met een snelheid van ongeveer 47.000 km/u. De impact creëerde een wolk van warm, helder materiaal dat zich snel uitbreidde en in minder dan een derde van een seconde weer verdween. Als deze bevindingen kloppen, heeft de inslag waarschijnlijk gezorgd voor een een krater met een diamater van meer dan tien meter. Een toekomstige ruimtesonde zal dit moeten gaan controleren.
De onderzoekers benadrukken het belang van de samenwerking tussen wetenschappers en amateurs in de kwestie. “Sociale media en de gemakkelijke toegang tot technologie hebben de mensheid dichter dan ooit te voren bij wetenschap gebracht,” zegt onderzoeker Karls Peña. “Inspanningen zoals deze, waarbij wetenschappers en amateurs van verschillende plaatsen samenwerken om de menselijke kennis uit te breiden, is een effectieve manier om de wetenschappelijke interesse onder jongeren aan te wakkeren.” In de komende weken en maanden wordt verwacht dat ook andere wetenschappers met informatie over de meteorietinslag op de proppen komen. Deze zullen de bevindingen van de Colombiaanse en Dominicaanse astronomen moeten verifiëren.

Wat als...de magnetische polen van de aarde zich omdraaien?
Wat als...de magnetische polen van de aarde zich omdraaien?
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Het is in het verleden talloze keren gebeurd en staat ons ook in de toekomst weer te wachten. Maar wanneer en wat voor gevolgen heeft dat?
Het Scientias.nl-archief zit vol met ‘pareltjes’: artikelen waar we trots op zijn, die een interessante discussie hebben losgemaakt of waarin mensen aan het woord komen met een vernieuwende en verrassende kijk op wetenschappelijk gerelateerde kwesties. Het is eigenlijk zonde dat die artikelen naarmate de tijd vordert, wat stoffig worden. En dus stoffen we er zo af en toe eentje af en plaatsen ‘m opnieuw. Dit is zo’n ‘gouwe ouwe’. Enjoy!
2018 was nog maar net begonnen of het aardmagnetisch veld zorgde al voor de nodige beroering. De geomagnetische noordpool verplaatst zich momenteel namelijk opvallend snel richting Siberië. Veel sneller dan onderzoekers verwacht hadden en dus moest het World Magnetic Model – dat het aardmagnetisch veld beschrijft en veranderingen voorspelt – halsoverkop herzien worden. Hoewel al jaren bekend is dat het aardmagnetisch veld aan verandering onderhevig is, weet de geomagnetische noordpool ons dus nog steeds te verrassen. Waar deze zich voor de jaren negentig nog met een snelheid van zo’n 15 kilometer per jaar verplaatste, gaat dat tegenwoordig met een snelheid van zo’n 55 kilometer(!) per jaar. Maar de versnelde verplaatsing van de geomagnetische noordpool is niet de enige trend die onderzoekers kunnen ontwaren. Er zijn ook aanwijzingen dat het aardmagnetisch veld over het algemeen genomen steeds zwakker wordt. En sommige mensen vermoeden dat het de opmaat is naar een tamelijk dramatische verandering: een omkering van de aardmagnetische polen. Maar wat houdt dat precies in? En staat dat echt op korte termijn te gebeuren?
Het aardmagnetisch veld Om die vragen te kunnen beantwoorden, is het handig om eerst eens te kijken naar de manier waarop het aardmagnetisch veld tot stand komt. Het aardmagnetische veld wordt gegeneerd door de kern van onze aarde: een ijzeren bol waarvan het hart vast en de buitenste laag vloeibaar is. Dat vloeibare ijzer in de kern van onze aarde stroomt en creëert elektrische stromingen die op hun beurt weer het magnetisch veld creëren. Zo af en toe keert het magnetisch veld zich om. De magnetische noordpool verandert dan in de magnetische zuidpool en omgekeerd.
HOE WETEN WE DAT?
Hoe weten we dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde zich de afgelopen miljoenen jaren regelmatig heeft omgedraaid? Die kennis hebben we te danken aan sedimenten die zich op de bodem van de oceaan bevinden. Ooit waren deze sedimenten vloeibaar: lava, afkomstig uit de Mid-Atlantische Rug, een plek waar twee continentale platen uit elkaar bewegen. In het vloeibare gesteente zitten magnetische mineralen en deze nemen de richting van het aardmagnetisch veld aan. Wanneer de lava versteent, wordt die richting vereeuwigd. Sedimenten op de bodem van de oceaan kunnen ons dus vertellen welke richting het aardmagnetisch veld op het moment dat de steen tot stand kwam, had. Door verschillende stenen te dateren, kunnen onderzoekers de richting van het aardmagnetisch veld op verschillende momenten in de geschiedenis van onze planeet achterhalen.
In het verleden Volgens wetenschappers is het magnetische veld van de aarde in de lange geschiedenis van onze planeet regelmatig omgekeerd. De laatste twintig miljoen jaar gebeurde het gemiddeld elke 200.000 tot 300.000 jaar. Dat is geen abrupte gebeurtenis: daar zijn honderden zoniet duizenden jaren voor nodig. Het is zeker ook geen vloeiende beweging waarmee de noordpool zuidpool wordt en omgekeerd. Magnetische velden smelten samen, duwen en trekken aan elkaar. Tijdens dit proces kunnen meerdere polen op rare breedtes ontstaan alvorens de noordpool echt zuidpool wordt.
De laatste keer Het omdraaien van het magnetisch veld is eerder regel dan uitzondering. De laatste keer dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde zich omkeerde, was zo’n 780.000 jaar geleden. Men zou – met de kennis dat het magnetisch veld zich gemiddeld elke 300.000 jaar omkeert dan ook verwachten dat ons in de nabije toekomst weer zo’n omkering te wachten staat. Zou het binnenkort dan gaan gebeuren? Niemand weet het. Want een omkering van het magnetisch veld is nu eenmaal niet te voorspellen.
Verandering Wat we wel zeker weten, is dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde aan het veranderen is. Dat is echter niet iets van de laatste tijd, maar een voortdurend proces. Zo vond Roald Amundsen de geomagnetische noordpool in 1904 vijftig kilometer verwijderd van het punt waar James Ross deze in 1831 aantrof. En ook gedurende de twintigste eeuw is deze geomagnetische noordpool aan het schuiven geweest: gemiddeld zo’n tien kilometer per jaar en recent gaat het dus aanzienlijk sneller. En dat is niet de enige manier waarop het magnetisch veld verandert. Ook de kracht ervan fluctueert: zo is deze sinds de negentiende eeuw met zo’n tien procent afgenomen. Sommige mensen denken dat dat erop wijst dat het magnetische veld zich binnenkort omkeert. Bij die voorspelling wordt er echter flink geëxtrapoleerd: als de trend van het afzwakkende magnetische veld doorzet, zou dit over zo’n 1500 jaar resulteren in een dipoolmoment (een kwantitatieve maat om de intensiteit van het magnetisch veld weer te geven) van nul en dan zou het gaan gebeuren. Maar veel wetenschappers willen daar niets van weten. “Het veld neemt de hele tijd in kracht toe en af,” vertelt onderzoeker Gary Glatzmaier. “We weten dit van paleomagnetische studies (onderzoeken zoals beschreven in het kader hierboven, red.).”
Recent onderzoek Recente studies lijken de mening van Glatzmaier te onderschrijven. Zo verscheen in 2017 een onderzoek dat behoorlijk overtuigend aantoonde dat een omkering in ieder geval de komende 4000 jaar waarschijnlijk niet op de agenda staat. En vorig verscheen een interessant onderzoek dat een tweede bewijsstuk dat vaak wordt aangedragen om de voorspelling van een aanstaande omkering van de magnetische polen kracht bij te zetten, onderuit schoffelde. We hebben het dan over de South Atlantic Anomaly. Dit afwijkende gebied – gelegen op het zuidelijk halfrond – wordt vaak aangehaald als tweede aanwijzing dat een omkering van de geomagnetische polen aanstaande is. De South Atlantic Anomaly is namelijk de plek waar het aardmagnetisch veld momenteel het zwakst is. En als klap op de vuurpijl zijn er aanwijzingen dat eerdere omkeringen van het aardmagnetisch veld hier zijn begonnen. Maar het in 2018 verschenen onderzoek stelt dat de South Atlantic Anomaly helemaal niet hoeft te wijzen op een aanstaande omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld. De onderzoekers tonen namelijk aan dat het aardmagnetisch veld aldaar in de afgelopen 50.000 jaar wel vaker net zo zwak was als nu, maar zich elke keer weer hersteld heeft. “Afgaand op onze observaties van de afgelopen 50.000 jaar concluderen we dat de South Atlantic Anomaly niet geïnterpreteerd kan worden als een teken dat de omkering van de polen gaat beginnen,” stelt onderzoeker Monika Korte. Collega Richard Holme voegt toe: “In plaats daarvan suggereert ons onderzoek dat het huidige verzwakte veld zich zal herstellen.”
Doemscenario’s Het is al met al – ondanks de veranderingen die het aardmagnetisch veld ondergaat – dus zeker niet bewezen dat er op korte termijn een omkering van de aardmagnetische polen aan zit te komen. Dat neemt echter niet weg dat het wel interessant is om eens te kijken naar de impact die zo’n omkering kan hebben. Ook daarover doen zich wilde verhalen de ronde. Een mooi voorbeeld is het verhaal dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde tijdens een omkering tijdelijk even helemaal wegvalt. In die periode zou de aarde geen enkele bescherming hebben tegen deeltjes afkomstig van de zon, zonnevlammen en plasmawolken. En zonder die bescherming zou het er slecht uitzien voor het leven op aarde. Het klinkt heel logisch, maar toch klopt er niets van. Het magnetisch veld van de aarde kan inderdaad door de tijd heen sterker en zwakker worden. Maar er is geen enkel bewijs dat het magnetisch veld ooit helemaal weg is geweest. En zelfs al zou het magnetisch veld van de aarde even heel zwak worden, dan is dat nog niet direct een probleem. Wel komt er dan iets meer zonnestraling op aarde, maar we hebben het dan zeker niet over dodelijke hoeveelheden. Bovendien is het goed om te onthouden dat het magnetisch veld niet onze enige bescherming is: ook de atmosfeer houdt veel deeltjes afkomstig van de zon tegen. Overigens is er ook helemaal geen bewijs dat een omkering van het magnetisch veld resulteert in massa-extincties. Uit paleomagnetisch onderzoek weten we immers dat veranderingen in de ontwikkeling van mensachtigen en massa-extincties niet samenvallen met een omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld.
Technologie Wel is er een mogelijkheid dat de omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld het leven op aarde iets lastiger maakt voor ons moderne mensen. Een zwakker magnetisch veld maakt onze elektronica veel kwetsbaarder voor geladen deeltjes afkomstig van de zon. Die deeltjes kunnen zelfs als het aardmagnetisch veld behoorlijk krachtig is, grote schade aanrichten. Dat zagen we bijvoorbeeld tijdens een zonnestorm in 1859 toen telegraafsystemen in Europa en Noord-Amerika niet meer werkten en in 1989 toen een zonnestorm ervoor zorgde dat mensen in Quebec urenlang zonder stroom zaten. Stel je nu voor dat de zon die geladen deeltjes op ons afvuurt, terwijl het magnetisch veld zich omdraait en dus aanzienlijk zwakker is. Je kunt je voorstellen dat het leidt tot grote problemen in onze met technologie gevulde wereld. Satellieten kunnen uitvallen, communicatie- en navigatiesystemen vallen weg, elektriciteitsnetwerken liggen plat… De schade zou in de biljoenen euro’s kunnen lopen. “Hopelijk vindt deze gebeurtenis in de verre toekomst plaats, zodat we de tijd hebben om technologieën te ontwikkelen die de schade kunnen beperken,” aldus professor Andrew Roberts van de Australische Nationale Universiteit, die in 2018 ontdekte dat een omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld soms ook heel snel kan gaan.
Vogels Samenvattend hoeven we dus niet bang te zijn dat het geomagnetisch veld tijdelijk helemaal verdwijnt en het leven op aarde daardoor het veld moet ruimen. Maar het kan dus wel zijn dat we enigszins terug worden geworpen in de tijd. En niet alleen moderne technologieën werken na zo’n omkering wellicht niet langer naar behoren. Ook je kompas is van de leg. Na een omkering stelt het kompas dat de magnetische zuidpool zich in het noorden bevindt. Dat is dus even omschakelen. Hetzelfde geldt voor dieren die een soort ingebouwd kompas hebben en zich met behulp van het aardmagnetisch veld oriënteren op hun omgeving en route. Maar ook dat hoeft geen onoverkomelijk probleem te zijn. Onthoud dat een omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld al snel duizenden jaren in beslag neemt. In die duizenden jaren kunnen onder meer vogels en walvissen zich van generatie op generatie aanpassen aan de verandering die gaande is.
Een omkering van de aardmagnetische polen behoort dus tot de mogelijkheden. Sterker nog: het zou gekker zijn als het niet gebeurde. Maar wanneer? Niemand die het weet. Gelukkig is het ook geen reden om ’s nachts wakker te liggen: wij gaan het waarschijnlijk niet meer meemaken en bovendien heeft de mensheid ongetwijfeld wel eens voor hetere vuren gestaan.
Video of UFO-Like Object Near Greensboro Sparks Online Debate
Video of UFO-Like Object Near Greensboro Sparks Online Debate
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Folks online are trying to determine the strange object in the skies just outside of Greensboro, captured in a video posted over the weekend.
The video was taken by Bret Jones, who enjoys snapping pictures of birds.
He initially described the object as a strange light in the sky near a plane.
Some people argue it's just a balloon, but Jones says the flashing silver and gold lights make him think otherwise.
The video was taken by Bret Jones, who enjoys snapping pictures of birds, but recently was rolling on something out of the ordinary on Saturday, January 25. He initially described the object as a strange light in the sky near a plane.
"I just saw this flash in the corner of my vision. I look over and there's a plane and I saw the flash again, but it was just near it. I already had my camera strapped to me and I started trying to capture it," he said. "I told my wife I just saw a UFO and she said 'oh yeah, again?' but then I look at the video and scroll and I was just like I have no idea what that is!"
Some people argue it's just a balloon, but Jones says the flashing silver and gold lights make him think otherwise.
"If I see evidence that it's indisputable for me that it would be balloon then yeah I would say it's just a balloon. But after 10 seconds, I couldn't see it in the sky anywhere. Why would a balloon, if it was just twisting around, why wouldn't I see it again," he said.
But what is it? A spaceship? Experimental aircraft? A balloon?
Underwater Extraterrestrials: Declassified Russian Navy Records Say They’re Real!
Underwater Extraterrestrials: Declassified Russian Navy Records Say They’re Real!
Unidentified submerged objects (USOs) are not as famous as UFOs although they are often encountered, according to declassified Russian Navy records. The common trait of all USO phenomena is that they involve unexplained and technologically advanced objects, far superior to anything we’ve ever built.
The recently declassified documents contain Soviet era reports detailing many cases of possible USO encounters. Former naval officer and Russian UFO researcher Vladimir Azhazha believes these documents are of great value. One of the most interesting cases he examined involved a nuclear submarine on a combat mission in the Southern Pacific. During the routine operation, the submarine detected six unknown objects traveling information at speeds in excess of 230 knots (265+ mph). In comparison, the fastest submarine was the Soviet K-222, which reached about 44 knots (51 mph).
The submarine’s sonar determined the objects were heading straight for it so the captain gave the order to surface. The USOs followed them to the surface then flew away. Similar instances have been reported in the region of the Bermuda Triangle, as retired submarine commander Yuri Beketov recalls. Onboard instruments often malfunctioned, indicating the presence of strong interference. Many believe this is a clear sign of USO/UFO presence.
“On several occasions, the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots or 265 mph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development”, said Beketov.
Both UFOs and USOs seem to concentrate wherever military operations occur, indicating their interest in humanity’s military arsenal.
Another USO hotspot is Lake Baikal in Russia. The world’s deepest freshwater lake has always had a certain mysterious nature and fishermen tell tales of lights being spotted in its deep waters. Multiple folk tales describe swimmers being dragged down by creatures lurking beneath Baikal’s calm waves.
Another of the Russian documents described the encounter between a group of military divers and several humanoid beings in silver suits. The divers were training in Lake Baikal at a depth of 150 feet (50 meters) when they came upon a group of unknown creatures. The divers went deeper in the pursuit of the humanoids. Three men were killed, while the other four were severely injured.
Vladimir Azhazha believes the issue should be thoroughly investigated. “I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.”

The Link Between Pharaohs and ETs – The Alien Artifacts Discovered in Jerusalem!
The discovery of several remarkable relics could change the way we perceive ancient history. The artifacts were allegedly discovered in a former house belonging to Sir William Petrie, hidden in a secret chamber behind a bookshelf. A pioneer archaeologist, Sir Petrie excavated many of the most important ancient Egyptian archaeological sites.
His most famous findings are housed in the Petrie Museum in London but it seems he kept his most important ones to himself. It is believed he found them inside a secret chamber inside the Great Pyramid in Giza.
Among the many items found in the secret room were two small mummified bodies with long, slender arms and elongated heads with large eye sockets. Could these be the remains of extraterrestrial beings?
Another interesting relic was a disk-shaped gold object the size of a small plate. The object had a transparent top and an intricate mechanism inside. Unknown symbols were etched into its sides and they do not appear to be Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Last but not least and perhaps the most shocking is an item similar to a pharaoh mask. However, instead of the typical human face we might expect on such an item, this mask features a head that is identical to what we call ‘gray aliens’. The left side of the mask contains symbols that could very well be depicting alien encounters and what appears to be a spaceship.
Could these relics be the sought-after connection between the ancient Egyptians and an alien civilization? Strangely enough, Petrie mysteriously abandoned his efforts in Egypt and spent the remainder of his days excavating sites in Palestine. Perhaps he had uncovered clues that led him there.
It’s higly unlikely we’ll ever see these relics again as sources claim that shortly after their discovery, the artifacts were supposedly taken by representatives of the Rockefeller Museum.
Earth's north magnetic pole is so out of whack that scientists need to update the global magnetic-field model they released only four years ago. Could that be a sign that themagnetic pole will flipsoon?
The World Magnetic Model (WMM) — the name of the updated representation of the magnetic field of Earth — is expected to be released no earlier than Jan. 30. That's about two weeks later than planned, with the delay due to the government shutdown, according to a report in Nature.
The magnetic pole is moving erratically out of the Canadian Arctic and toward Siberia so unpredictably that it took scientists by surprise. That 2015 update was supposed to remain valid until 2020, Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information, told Nature. [Earth's Colorful Atmospheric Layers Photographed from Space]
It's no news that the pole is moving; long-term records from London and Paris (kept since 1580) show that the north magnetic pole moves erratically around the rotational north pole over periods of a few hundred years or longer, Ciaran Beggan, a geophysicist with the British Geological Survey who is involved in WMM updates, told Space.com in an email. He cited a 1981 study from the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.
But what's really catching attention is the acceleration in movement. Around the mid-1990s, the pole suddenly sped up its movements from just over 9 miles (15 kilometers) a year to 34 miles (55 kilometers) annually. As of last year, the pole careened over the international date line toward the Eastern Hemisphere.
The chief cause of the movement comes from the Earth's liquid-iron outer core, which is also called the "core field." Smaller factors also affect the movement. Those influences include magnetic minerals in the crust and upper mantle (especially for local magnetic fields) and electric currents created by seawater moving through an "ambient magnetic field," according to the 2015 report of the WMM.
"One of the reasons we can update the map is that the European Space Agency launched a set of highly accurate magnetic-field satellites in 2013," said Beggan, referring to Swarm.
"We have a superb data set from which we can make very good magnetic-field maps and update them every six to 12 months," Beggan added. "We noticed that the specification of the WMM was not being met in the high-latitude region around the pole, as the error exceeded 1 degree of grid angle on average. This triggered us to examine whether it was worth issuing a new update."
Earth's magnetic field could flip sooner than expected
Flipping out
What's more, the core field appears to be weakening — which may be a sign that the planet's magnetic field will flip. To better understand how that would happen, here's how the core field works, according to Ronald Merrill, an emeritus professor of Earth and space sciences at the University of Washington, who spoke to Space.com's sister site Live Science.
One easy way to imagine the field is to think of a bar magnet that runs through Earth's center and has a north pole and a south pole, said Merrill, who was not involved in the new WMM research. That magnet is strong, representing roughly 75 percent of the intensity of Earth's magnetic field at the surface.
Of course, a bar magnet is not a perfect representation — it's actually electric currents that generate the Earth's magnetic field — but the model makes it easier to imagine what's happening to Earth, Merrill added. Specifically, the "bar magnet" is not only moving, but also getting weaker, by roughly 7 percent every 100 years.
As for the other 25 percent of the magnetic field, Merrill said that's generated from another field, which you can picture as another moving bar magnet. Here's an interesting bit: As the central bar magnet loses intensity, this second, weaker magnetic field generates more influence on Earth's global magnetism. "And that's what's causing this field to move in the direction [of Siberia]," Merrill told Live Science.
Earth's north and south poles periodically swap locations, with the last flip happening about 780,000 years ago. (The poles also weakened temporarily and rapidly about 41,000 years ago, Beggan added, but never underwent a full flip.)) A 2018 study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggested that Earth's magnetic field got weaker before the big changeover.
While any magnetic-field flip would still be thousands of years away, the effects could be profound on technology, if similar to today’s technology. This is because the weaker magnetic field would be somewhat poorer at shielding Earth against the solar wind (the constant stream of charged particles emanating from the sun) and cosmic rays (blasts of radiation from deep space). Magnetic compasses would not be as accurate, and satellites that monitor the weather or carry telecommunications signals could be disrupted, said Monika Korte, head of GFZ Potsdam's working group on geomagnetic field evolution in Germany.
"Regarding increased radiation, that would go along with decreased shielding, [but] it seems that the atmosphere would still provide sufficient shielding at Earth's surface that humans and animals would not be significantly affected," she told Space.com in an email.
"However, all the effects we currently only see during strong solar/geomagnetic storms would likely increase and occur ... during moderate solar activity," she added. "This includes satellite outages or damage to satellites, increased radiation doses on long-distance aircraft and the ISS [International Space Station], [and] distortions of telecommunication and GPS signals."
Ongoing monitoring of the Earth's geomagnetic field (which includes the pole) will continue after the WMM release, principally through the European Space Agency Swarm mission, Korte said. But she noted that measuring the north magnetic pole's position is a challenge. That's because the pole is located in a remote area and the measurement of Earth's magnetic field is influenced by all magnetic-field sources — including the magnetic fields found in Earth's atmosphere (the ionosphere and magnetosphere).
"It will depend on the future magnetic field change, which we cannot predict, if another update to the model out of the usual schedule might be required," she added.
The next update to the WMM after this year's is expected early in 2020, Beggan said. You can read more about the WMM here.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has completed its first loop around the sun and entered the second of 24 planned orbits.
The spacecraft launched on Aug. 12, 2018, andsurvived its first close flybyof the sun on Nov. 5 of last year, when it swooped within 15 million miles (24 million kilometers) of the star. As of Jan. 19, the probe has reached its farthest distance from the sun, called aphelion, before it goes in for another close pass on April 4.
"It's been an illuminating and fascinating first orbit," Andy Driesman, Parker Solar Probe project manager and a researcher at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Lab in Maryland, which built and manages the project, said in the statement. "We've learned a lot about how the spacecraft operates and reacts to the solar environment, and I'm proud to say the team's projections have been very accurate."
"We've always said that we don't know what to expect until we look at the data," added Nour Raouafi, a project scientist on the probe who's also at APL. "The data we have received hints at many new things that we've not seen before and at potential new discoveries. Parker Solar Probe is delivering on the mission's promise of revealing the mysteries of our sun."
The spacecraft's first approach broke distance records; humanity's previous record-holder for a close approach to the sun, Helios 2, dove to about twice Parker Solar Probe's distance from the star in 1976. Parker also busted speed records, blazing by at 213,200 mph (343,112 km/h) relative to the sun.
On its second pass, the spacecraft will fly by at a similar distance, but in future orbits, it will break its own records, getting closer and closer to the sun. By its final planned flyby, in late 2025, the spacecraft will dive within just 3.83 million miles (6.16 million km) of the sun, accelerated by the star's gravity to nearly 430,000 mph (690,000 km/h).
But for now, preparing for the spacecraft's second flyby, engineers are remotely emptying the probe of data that has already been transmitted to Earth. They're also sending updated position and navigation information, plus about a month's worth of command instructions, NASA officials said in the statement.
During Parker Solar Probe's 24 total flybys, its four instruments will help researchers understand the inner workings of the sun and how it accelerates solar material at high speeds, as well as what makes the star's outer atmosphere, called the corona, so much hotter than the solar surface.

A scientist explains one of the most mind-blowing ideas in physics in under 5 minutes.
Matthew Headrick, an assistant professor of physics at Brandeis University, works on one of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics —the holographic principle. It holds that the universe is a three-dimensional image projected off a two-dimensional surface, much like a hologram emerges from a sheet of photographic film.
It turns out that this idea of the holographic principle or the universe is a hologram … actually helps us to solve some of the thorniest puzzles that arise when you try to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity.
As theoretical physicists, we’re not satisfied to have two different theories. We need one, unified theory which encompasses both, and that’s a very hard problem.
There’s a step-by-step breakdown of the holographic principle here.
Since 2016, Headrick has served as deputy director of the It from Qubit: Quantum Fields, Gravity and Information project, an international effort by 18 scientists and their labs to determine whether the holographic principle is correct.
Third Snowy Pyramid Recently Discovered in Antarctica Could Rewrite History
Third Snowy Pyramid Recently Discovered in Antarctica Could Rewrite History
If you need a good vantage point, you need good eyes and altitude. Satellites have both.
The latest in a group of three snow-covered pyramids was recently discovered through Google Earth satellite imagery and in a few days, the finding has taken the alternative history communities by storm.
Two of the pyramids can be found approximately 10 miles inland while the third rests near the coastline.
The implications of this discovery are complex and if accepted, it could turn the scientific world on its head. No history book ever mentioned an Antarctic civilization with the skills and technology necessary to erect enormous pyramids.
There is one apparent reason behind this situation and by the looks of it, it would suggest tech-savvy civilizations existed on Earth a long time before our own emerged.
Antarctica is now a frozen wasteland but it wasn’t always like this. It got to its current position through plate tectonics, inching closer to the geographic South Pole year after year.
Millions of years ago, Antarctica’s climate was much warmer because its position was closer to the equator. This is established fact backed up by several accepted discoveries, not some wild speculation.
Some years ago, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) uncovered evidence that the antarctic climate was much different in the distant past.
“Go back 100 million years ago,” BAS’s Dr. Vanessa Bowman said “and Antarctica was covered in lush rainforests similar to those that exist in New Zealand today.”
Another expedition – led by NASA and involving 11 other scientific organizations– discovered out-of-place microbial life forms in the depths of Antarctica’s Lake Vida, trapped under a sheet of ice 65 feet thick.
The microbial colonies had been prospering in isolation for millions of years and scientists believe they are the descendants of microorganisms that lived in a much warmer climate.
Who knows what other enigmas lay buried in ice, hopelessly waiting to be revealed.
The resemblance is unsettling
Even with today’s technology, building structures as massive as the pyramids of Antarctica would be nearly impossible. There are simply too many problems relating to manpower and the logistics required for such a project.
If building these mysterious monuments were to be a viable venture, it must have taken place in the past, when Antarctica was a favorable place for human life.
And this opens up a king-sized can of worms. The continent was habitable only in the very distant past, but mainstream science says the wheel wasn’t invented until some 6,000 years ago.
At the same time, anatomically-modern humans are said to have mastered fire only 125,000 years ago. So where do these controversial pyramids fit in?
Are they evidence of an ancient advanced civilization or do we need to stretch our imagination even further and regard them as proof of time travel? The mind boggles when we remain attached to our outdated beliefs.
Two more possible pyramids in Antarctica
Proponents of alternative history and fans of the ancient aliens hypothesis have no problem in accepting the parallel reality generated by such discoveries.
It’s not hard to see and accept that we aren’t the first and though it may seem this way, we probably won’t be the last.
Thousands of years after they were built, we are still fascinated by the Egyptian pyramids.
The monuments left behind by their society have stood the test of time and in more than one way, they’ve granted their builders immortality.
Keeping that in mind, what could be said about pyramids that are millions of years old? Does that put our own lives into perspective and make us see the bigger picture?
Als er buitenaardsen op aarde zijn, waar zouden ze verblijven?
Als er buitenaardsen op aarde zijn, waar zouden ze verblijven?
Als er buitenaardsen op aarde zijn, al sinds mensenheugenis, wat zou dan de beste locatie voor hen zijn om zich gedurende tijden ongezien te vestigen? Natuurlijk is dat Antarctica, duizenden en duizenden jaren was er geen mens die daar ooit kwam. Antarctica steunt, anders dan de Noordpool, op solide rotsgrond, het drijft dus niet op water. Al lange tijd worden vreemde constructies op Antarctica gezien en de getuigenissen van UFO’s boven dat continent zijn ook talrijk.
Natuurlijk wordt dit allemaal door de gevestigde orde afgedaan als een complottheorie, maar er komen al tientallen jaren klokkenluiders naar voren die vertellen dat Antarctica veel meer herbergt dan uitsluitend sneeuw en ijs.
Misschien is het van een antieke menselijke beschaving die ooit op aarde leefde, ook in onze menselijke geschiedenis zitten grote gaten. De wetenschap zegt wel dat ze alles in kaart hebben gebracht, maar negeert al tientallen jaren het bewijs dat hoogstaande beschavingen hebben achtergelaten in de vorm van bouwwerken zo precies gebouwd en met talloze blokken graniet of basalt van tientallen tonnen (soms zelfs duizenden tonnen!) en dat onomstotelijk aantoont dat de mens van een paar duizend jaar geleden die bouwwerken niet gemaakt kan hebben, niet alleen vanwege het gewicht van de bouwblokken, maar al helemaal niet met het gereedschap van hooguit brons dat ze hadden.
De originele video van Linda Moulton Howe waaruit dit segment afkomstig is, is meer dan een uur lang. Voor meer informatie over Antarctica en wat daar gaande is, hier de link naar de volledige video: https://youtu.be/-zJW7W75Dyw
Al vele jaren vragen wij ons af wat er verborgen ligt onder het ijs en de sneeuw op Antarctica, de Zuidpool van de aarde. De Nazi’s hadden grote belangstelling voor dat continent en hebben er naar verluidt een eigen basis gevestigd genaamd Neu Schwabenland:
Voor buitenaardsen is Antarctica qua locatie om verborgen te blijven voor menselijke waarneming gelijk aan de achterkant van de Maan. Ook over die Maanlocatie beweren overheidsklokkenluiders dat er talloze constructies staan die op gebouwen wijzen en die daar duidelijk niet door de mens zijn geplaatst. De kans dat buitenaardsen op de achterkant van de Maan ontdekt zouden worden, was pas aanwezig toen de mens technisch gezien dichter bij hen kwam te staan en ruimtereizen kon maken.
Dan nog is de achterstand in kennis en techniek gigantisch groot, maar ook daar zullen de eventuele buitenaardsen wel een oplossing voor hebben en mochten ze ons niet vertrouwen (niet zo gek met onze oorlogszuchtigheid) dan zullen ze er beslist voor zorgen dat we niet te dichtbij komen, hetzij via bedreigingen aan enkele regeringsleiders, of het aanbieden aan hen van wat verouderde buitenaardse techniek en kennis in ruil voor het wegblijven van de Maan of Antarctica of in ieder geval van bepaalde locaties aldaar. En luisteren deze aardse machthebbers niet, dan desnoods maar het uit de lucht/ruimte halen van onze vliegtuigen en ruimteschepen.
Was Saturn the Sun in ancient times? Or seen in our ancient skies as a Sun like object?
The Saturn Theoryand the Thunderbolts Electric Universe theory suggest that Saturn may have been our first Sun or was at least associated as a Sun. Other EU theory variations may also suggest this.
The Sun and Saturn are two very different celestial objects. Yet the Babylonians appeared to 'confuse' the two... or was it just the translators of the Babylonian texts?
Thompson in his introduction to his collection of astrological reports has noticed that the planet Saturn was also designated as Šamaš, i.e. "sun" by the Babylonian-Assyrian astrologers and he quotes the statement of Hyginus to the effect that Saturn was called "the star of the sun". Sun and Saturn | Catastrophism
Was Saturn the original Sun?
Was ancient Saturn known as Sol, Kronos, Helios, Quetzalcoatl, Huracan, Atum-Ra etc?
Or should those identities be attributed to another planet, plasma event or the actual Sun in our skies?
And yet the profile of the great "sun" gods presents a fascinating dilemma. During the past century several authorities noticed that Greek and Latin astronomical texts show a mysterious confusion of the "Sun" — Greek Helios, Latin Sol — with the outermost planet, Saturn. Though the designation seems bizarre, the expression "star of Helios" or "star of Sol" was applied to Saturn! Of the Babylonian star-worshippers the chronicler Diodorus writes: "To the one we call Saturn they give a special name, 'Sun-Star.'"
Similarly, the Greek historian Nonnus gives Kronos as the Arab name of the "sun," though Kronos meant only Saturn and no other celestial body. Hyginus, in listing the planets, names first Jupiter, then the planet "of Sol, others say of Saturn." A Greek ostrakon, cited by the eminent classicist, Franz Boll, identifies the Egyptian sun god Ra, not with our sun, but with the planet Saturn. This repeated confusion of the Sun and Saturn seems to make no sense at all. Can you imagine any difficulty in separating the two bodies, or distinguishing the one from the other?
One fact beyond dispute is that the word Helios did become the Greek word for our Sun, just as the Latin Sol gave his name to our Sun. The same can be said for the older Shamash and Ra: the names of these gods became the names for the solar orb. But that's where the connection with our Sun ends and the mystery of Saturn, the Universal Monarch, begins. Saturn: the Ancient Sun God | David Talbott
Or is the Sun we see in our skies the same Sun that has always been there?
As strange as it may seem, early astronomical traditions identify the "primeval sun" as the planet Saturn, the distant planet which the alchemists called the "best sun" and which the Babylonians, the founders of astronomy, identified as the exemplary light of heaven, the "sun"-god Shamash. ("Shamash is the planet Saturn", the astronomical texts say.) In archaic copies of Plato's Timaeus, the word for the planet Saturn is Helios, the "sun" god. Popular Greek traditions identified Saturn as Kronos, alter ego of Helios, and Kronos is said to have ruled "over the pole". But only a handful of scholars have bothered to trace the parallel referents in other cultures, or to address the unanswered questions. Saturn in Ancient Times | thunderbolts TPOD
The Popol Vuh, lauded as the "Mayan Bible," attests to the same idea. There a previous sun god is described as follows: "Like a man was the sun when it showed itself…It showed itself when it was born and remained fixed in the sky like a mirror. Certainly it was not the same sun which we see, it is said in their old tales. The Saturn Myth | Maverick Science
A golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of Kronos when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil: miserable age rested not on them Works and Days - Hesiod | The Velikovsky Archive
Peoples that remembered early tragedies enacted in the sky by the heavenly bodies asserted that Jupiter drove Saturn away from its place in the sky. Before Jupiter (Zeus) became the chief god, Saturn (Kronos) occupied the celestial throne. In all ancient religions the dominion passes from Saturn to Jupiter. In Greek mythology, Kronos is presented as the father and Zeus as his son who dethrones him. Kronos devours some of his children. After this act Zeus overpowers his father, puts him in chains, and drives him from his royal station in the sky. In Egyptian folklore or religion the participants of the drama are said to be Osiris-Saturn, brother and husband of Isis-Jupiter. The Worship of Saturn - In The Beginning | Immanuel Velikovsky
Here is a remarkable fact: though numerous figures of the Universal Monarch are translated conventionally as the "sun" god, the celestial power invoked by the world's first religions is not the body we call [the] sun today. In fact the star-worshippers specifically distinguished it from our Sun by calling it best sun, the primeval sun, the central sun.
Natives of Mexico recall that prior to the present age, an exemplary sun ruled the world, but this was not the sun of today. His name was Quetzalcoatl. The Maya maintained essentially the same idea, calling the primeval sun god Huracan. The Incas of Peru spoke of a former sun superior to the present sun. To the ancient Egyptians, the sun god Atum-Ra, the model ruler, reigned over the fortunate era for a time, then retired from the world. The Sumerian An, ruling with "terrifying splendor," was the central luminary of the sky, but not our sun, and later departed to a more remote domain.
When it comes to the well-known sun gods of early man, nothing in the mythical record seems to have unnerved the experts. As to the original solar character of the Greek Helios, Latin Sol, Assyrian Shamash, or Egyptian Ra, scholars have maintained an unwavering confidence. And surely you can see why: could it really be doubted that Helios, radiating light from his brow, is our sun? Saturn: the Ancient Sun God | David Talbott
Saturn did not move on its present remote orbit, but ruled as the central sun around which the other heavenly bodies visually revolved. The Saturn Myth | David Talbott
the words used by ancient civilizations that are interpreted today as “the Sun” – like the Egyptian “Ra”, the Greek “Helios”, and the Roman “Sol” – all originally referred to the gas giant Saturn! Was that planet our primordial parent? Was Saturn until recently a much larger brown dwarf? (The apparent size and color of an electric star is an electrical phenomenon. If Jupiter’s magnetosphere were lit up it would appear the size of the full Moon). Was ancient man around to see it as a sun? If not, why would anyone call a faint yellowish speck in the night sky – the Sun? Other stars, other worlds, other life? | Holoscience
Chronos was confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, due to the similarity in name, the Titan Cronus already in antiquity, the identification becoming more widespread during the Renaissance, giving rise to the allegory of "Father Time" wielding the harvesting scythe. He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the Zodiac Wheel. Chronos, however, might also be contrasted with the deity Aion as Eternal Time. Chronos is usually portrayed through an old, wise man with a long, grey beard, such as "Father Time".
... In Greek mythology, Chronos in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of time. He emerged from the primordial Chaos. He is often mythologically confused with the Titan Cronus. He was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the zodiac wheel. Often the figure is named Aeon (Eternal Time), a common alternate name for the god. His name actually means "Time", and is alternatively spelled Khronos (transliteration of the Greek), Chronos, Chronus (Latin version). Saturn in Mythology | Crystalinks
Saturn was named after the Roman god of agriculture and harvest. While the planet may have gotten its name from its golden color, like a field of wheat, it also had to do with its position in the sky. According to mythology, the god Saturn stole the position of king of the gods from his father Uranus. The throne was then stolen by Jupiter. Mythology of the Planets | Universe Today
The Cheonjiwang Bonpuri (Chronicles of Cheonjiwang) is a Korean creation myth, traditionally retold by shamans on the small island of Jejudo ... Despite its title, the supreme deity Cheonjiwang, whose name means "King of the Heavens and the Earth", serves mainly as a secondary character ... The protagonists of the myth are instead the two sons of Cheonjiwang, Great Star and Small Star. Cheonjiwang Bonpuri | Wikipedia
Nova Saturn or Jupiter as the Sun?
Or nova Jupiter as primordial Sun or a 'temporary star'?
Now, even though Velikovsky points out that Saturn was once a much more massive body than it is today, it is hard to imagine that it could have been massive enough to be a star in the context of the thermonuclear theory of stellar energy. If, however, it was an electrically fuelled star, its initial stellar state and its sudden demise seem readily explainable. Ralph Juergens- Earth as a satellite of Saturn | The Velikovsky Archive

New Dulce Base Documentary 2019 What Really Happens Deep Underground is Astounding
Located almost two miles beneath Archuleta Mesa on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation near Dulce, New Mexico was an installation classified so secret, its existence would be one of the most protected realities in the world.
Here we will look at the Secret Space Program: the ships of the Deep Space Fleet; interstellar/interspecies treaty conferences on Earth; non-human species who work with the military; Mark Richards’ training with the Raptor Imperial Fleet; and, various missions on-and-off Earth to defend humanity.
Jo Ann speaks about her knowledge of operations and secret meetings that these men were involved with. She shares information about numerous alien species, the secret space fleet, and battles with aliens on- and off-world.
In het westen van Cuba is gisteren een meteoriet ingeslagen. Dat melden lokale media. De inslag veroorzaakte een luide explosie, die te horen was in verscheidene gemeenten in de provincie Pinar del Río, zegt een specialist van het Nationaal Instituut voor Geofysica en Astronomie Efrén Jaimez Salgado.
Vele Cubanen deelden op sociale netwerken beelden en video’s van de meteoriet. Die stortte neer rond 14 uur lokale tijd - dat is 18 uur in België - en ging gepaard met een lichtflits. Journalisten van de lokale tv-zender Tele Pinar publiceerden foto’s waarop zwarte rotsen te zien zijn, een vuist groot, die gevallen zijn in Viñales, een stad die ook bij toeristen erg in trek is en bekend is om zijn tabaksplantages.
De verraste bewoners trokken de straat op, getuigde lokale mandataris Osmany Moseguí. Volgens hem raakte niemand gewond. Mosequí zegt dat de grootste steen “20 tot 30 centimeter” groot was. Hij liet “zijn sporen” na op een weg naar een van de toeristische attracties van de stad.
“We hebben te maken met een meteoriet van het rotsachtige type, met een legering van ijzer en nikkel. Ze bevat ook een grote hoeveelheid magnesiumsilicaat”, zegt expert Efrén Jaimez Salgado.
De meteoriet liet een spoor achter in de lucht, zo is te zien op beelden op sociale media. De Amerikaanse National Weather Service bevestigde ook dat er een meteoriet was gezien in de lucht boven de Keys in Florida. Die liggen niet ver van Cuba.
