James Gilliliand had no idea about the ships and the ETs in the area before he moved to ECETI Ranch. But pretty soon after he moved in they started appearing regularly.

The UFOs are often out of the range of out physical eyes yet cameras especially digital can pick up more of the light spectrum and peek into other dimensions occasionally.

Although we don't understand everything that happens, one thing is for sure, unprecedented events are unfolding at the Gilliland Ranch that have the potential to change the course and destiny of Humanity and the Earth.

The last strange event occurred on June 23, 2019 when an ET inner earth door on Mt Adams opened as a reaction to James Gilliland when he knocked on the door with a laser from the ECETI Ranch. Filmed by Peter Maxwell Slattery with Colored Night Vision.

Silent War In UFO Community Taking Place, Lets Talk About It. Scott C. Waring UFO Sighting News.

Hi everyone. I entered this area about 15 years ago because of the chaos I saw. I saw eyewitnesses attacked by Phil Plait who I believe is working for the NSA to do so. I jumped in and stopped him. He knows me. Thats when I became famous. He stated, "I guess I gave you your 15 minutes of fame." He was referring to an argument on his blog between me and him about how he mistreated and verbally abused UFO eyewitnesses and researchers. So I started UFO Sightings Daily site to help. 

I created an order of doing things, reporting things, rule of presenting the evidence that began to change the community. However I inspired thousands of UFO bloggers and Youtube who thought they could make money at this area, unlike me, and greed is causing them to attack each other for profit. I thought they were motivated to help, but instead I see daily attacks on me and other UFO researchers in comments, reports and Youtube channels. Such greed would only destroy the UFO community.

The is something that you don't know going on. A silent war within the UFO community that has gone untold to the public for years. For years I had comments on my blogs and then turned them off suddenly. Its because about ten different UFO researchers were each leaving rude and crude comments on my site under every post. I traced them down to their UFO sites, and asked them to stop, but it only made it worse. So I turned off comments so I could continue my work undisturbed. They thought they could scare me away from UFO research so that they could make a profit reporting UFO and alien news. 

Then my site was attacked by negative SEO, which reduced my readers from 150,000 to 7,000 over night. I asked google over 5 times to do something but they never did. Apparently UFO sites are low on their list. So I made another site ET DATA BASE. 

Now on Youtube, UFO channels are being attacked. Secureteam10 lost their demonetisation (adsence) but then got it back. Thirdphaseofmoon lost it and then got it back. But lots of UFO channels are currently reporting that some videos are being reviewed by Youtube because it might not be allowed to have adsence on it. I talked to six channels with this problem. 

Other UFO researchers are leaving rude and crude comments on my Youtube channel again. Probably because they are jealous of the attention I get or because of they are jealous of the discoveries I make. Ether way, most the negativity about my discoveries comes from UFO researchers not getting attention. 

Here is the deal, Google owns the platform my UFO Sightings Daily site is on, Google owns Youtube, Google owns Adsence. DO YOU SEE A PATTERN YET? Because I sure do. UFO researchers worldwide are being attacked by Google, which is an organisation worldwide controlling information that people are allowed to see. That Google itself is attempting to cleanup and delete the UFO community from the Internet. We are under attack by Google. 

I understand others greed for money has created a lot of chaos in the UFO research community, but why is Google attacking UFO researchers unless they are working with the US government to cover things up?

The Navy Says UFOs Are Real. UFO Hunters Are Thrilled

A new generation of ufologists are being inspired by military sightings and mainstream news stories.

MJ Banias is the author of The UFO People: A Curious Culture.

With the Navy's recent revelation that its pilots have been regularly spotting unidentified flying objects, some of those in the UFO community who were once thought crazy now have some concrete evidence to point to. And the regular spate of mainstream news stories about UFO sightings has inspired a new generation of UFO hunters and researchers.

I'm regularly asked why I, a 32-year-old man with a good job and a young family spent six years researching the UFO subculture. Simply put, I find the culture and the people fascinating.

Ufology has always been a counter-cultural movement. Faced with decades of ridicule, the UFO community has always been the underdog. I like underdogs. But unidentified flying objects have made a cultural comeback, and the last two years have seen a huge growth in popular media coverage of this curious phenomenon and the people who explore it. It seems that UFOs have become all the rage, and this popular resurgence is inspiring a young new breed of UFO researchers and hunters.

These last few months have seen a surge in media outlets covering the UFO phenomenon. This week, the New York Times ran a story about two Navy fighter pilots who had multiple encounters with strange objects which seemed to perform impossible maneuvers. In one dramatic case, the pilots recounted a story of an object that looked like a “sphere encasing a cube” that flew in-between two fighter jets cruising in tandem just 100 feet apart.

These stories have been covered on all the major news networks and are making headlines around the world.

UFOs have always been fodder for the mainstream media. One can easily find news reports about flying saucers from the 1950s and alleged alien abductees have even appeared on Oprah from time to time. The difference between then and now is that UFOs have begun to slowly leave the gutter of tabloid journalism. The subculture of UFO enthusiasts and researchers seems to be pushing back hard against the stereotypes and taboos established by a mainstream culture that once wrote them off as crazy or conspiracy theorists.

Ryan Sprague, a Manhattan-based UFO researcher, author, podcaster and co-host of The CW’s popular Roswell: Mysteries Decoded is the embodiment of the new UFO generation. He and other young Ufologists perceive the UFO community and discourse as counter-cultural, subversive even.

“The community has always strived for legitimacy, but at the end of the day, they didn’t care what people thought about them or their theories, no matter how outlandish or ridiculous," Sprague told Motherboard. "And now, just like any revolution, UFOs have earned the spotlight after being ridiculed for so long. UFOs exist. Our government and military have admitted it. Now we take that next step and ask the hard questions.”

In my book, The UFO People: A Curious Culture, I present the idea that the UFO subculture has always been, and will continue to be, a group of dissidents who challenge established systems of power and ideology. The problem is that mainstream culture has always believed that people who believe in UFOs are uneducated, conspiratorial and delusional. That is, until now: With the Navy's recent revelations, many in the UFO community have been vindicated.

So why is no one freaking out about these revelations making front page news? As UFO author Chris Rutkowski once explained, perhaps it is because we have become acclimatized to seeing UFOs invading Earth in books and on screen. Whether you are of the Spielberg generation, watching a candy eating E.T., or a millennial who grew up watching The Avengers fight off hordes of evil intergalactic aliens, we are used to seeing this archetypal other in our media. UFOs, as a result, have become much less frightening and perhaps much more interesting. Have we negotiated UFOs into our cultural framework and identity?

Researchers like Sprague are not the only ones being affected by this new rebranding of the UFO. Ufologists come from all walks of life. Deep Prasad is the 23-year-old CEO of ReactiveQ, a multimillion dollar quantum computing tech start-up based out of Toronto. Growing up, UFOs were never really something that interested him. But after reading a 2017 article in the New York Times that broke the existence of a secret Pentagon UFO program, he became fascinated with researching the phenomenon. While he admits that the general public may be a bit slower to appreciate the cultural importance of UFOs, many people in his network seem to be coming around.

“My friends didn't think UFOs were cool for the most part, now most of them are either skeptically intrigued or deeply excited," he said."In their eyes, it's cool but it will be a whole lot cooler when the knowledge we gain from these UFOs affects day to day life.”

Talking about UFOs still is risky business because of the stigma this type of discourse carries, but isn’t this how all new movements begin? Perhaps this UFO renaissance is no different.

It seems that we can no longer question the existence of UFOs, and while the source of these strange objects is still up for debate, we are undoubtedly on the edge of something very new, incredibly cool, and very much in the hands of a brand new generation.

Mysterious Extragalactic Flash Pinpointed for 2nd Time Ever

By Mike Wall 

The landmark find could eventually help astronomers figure out what's causing fast radio bursts.

Astronomers are starting to get the goods on one of the most mysterious phenomena in the universe.

For just the second time ever, researchers have pinpointed the location of a fast radio burst (FRB), a super-brief explosion that releases as much energy in 1 millisecond as Earth's sun does over nearly a century.

The lone, previously pinpointed burst, known as FRB 121102, is a rare "repeater," one that's flared up dozens of times over the past few years. But the newfound blast is a member of the much more commonly observed "one-off" class. Its discovery, which was announced today (June 27) in the journal Science, shows that these elusive beasts can be traced and tracked, potentially allowing astronomers to finally figure out what causes them.

• Related: 8 Baffling Astronomy Mysteries

"This is the big breakthrough the field has been waiting for since astronomers discovered fast radio bursts in 2007," study lead author Keith Bannister, of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), said in a statement. (CSIRO is Australia's national science agency.)

Bannister and his colleagues found the FRB using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), a network of 36 radio telescopes at CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. They detected the burst on Sept. 24, 2018, which explains its name — FRB 180924. (The repeater FRB 121102 was first spotted in 2012, as you may now have surmised.)

This was exciting enough, given that the total tally of known FRBs stood at 85. (Just two of those are repeaters.) But the team broke new ground by tracking their find to its source.

The researchers developed a new technique that automatically recognized FRB 180924 less than 300 milliseconds after the burst hit the ASKAP dishes. Such speed was of the essence, because the team needed to access data that's overwritten every 3.1 seconds. 

The scientists then measured the tiny differences in FRB 180924's arrival time at the 36 ASKAP dishes down to about 1/100th of a nanosecond. Comparing these differences allowed them to determine the burst's source in the sky with a precision of 0.00002 degrees — equivalent to the width of a human hair as seen from 650 feet (200 meters) away.

That source lies on the outskirts of a big galaxy called DES J214425.25−405400.81. Little was known about this galaxy, so the researchers characterized it using optical observations by the Keck II telescope in Hawaii and the Very Large Telescope and Gemini South telescope, both of which are in Chile.

The study team determined that DES J214425.25−405400.81 lies about 3.6 billion light-years from Earth. In addition, the galaxy is about 1,000 times more massive, and is forming stars much less actively, than the dwarf that hosts FRB 121102 (which lies about 3 billion light-years from Earth). 

And FRB 121102 lies near the center of its home galaxy, the region where a supermassive black hole likely lurks.

These differences are important because they show "that FRBs can come from a huge range of types of galaxies and environments," Bannister told Space.com via email. "They don’t seem to need very special conditions to occur."

FRB 180924's location also offers a few clues about the mysterious processes that drive FRBs. For example, Bannister said that supermassive black holes are ruled out for this particular burst, given its considerable distance (13,000 light-years) from the galactic core. 

Indeed, the new study may spur a significant rethink of FRB generation, team members said.

"The most credible model for bursts, built to explain the repeater, suggests they are produced by young magnetars (highly magnetized neutron stars)," co-author Ryan Shannon, of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, told Space.com via email. 

"These magnetars are preferentially formed in tiny dwarf galaxies, like that of the FRB 121102 host," Shannon added. "Either the model needs to be relaxed to allow for bursts to be produced in a diversity of environments, or there are two mechanisms for producing bursts."

(There's always the possibility that FRBs are generated by advanced civilizations, of course. But this is a long shot, as alien invocations tend to be.)

The models will get stronger and stronger as more and more FRBs are pinpointed using the methods pioneered by Bannister and his team. And there are other exciting implications of the find as well.

For example, the amount of gas FRBs travel through is encoded in the bursts' signals, Bannister said. FRB 180924's home galaxy has relatively little gas, so the bulk of the burst's encoded information was therefore imparted by gas in the intergalactic medium. 

The gas that lies between galaxies is very difficult to study because it doesn't glow — but astronomers may now have a viable way to get a look at it.

"We have demonstrated that it is technically possible to catch one-off bursts and that they are clean probes of intergalactic medium," Shannon said. 

"The next step is to see if other one-off bursts are like FRB 180924 (originating in massive galaxies) or if they are more like the first repeater," he added. "I think they will be like 180924, and we will be able to open up a new window on the nearly invisible cosmic web."

NASA Is Sending a Life-Hunting Drone to Saturn's Huge Moon Titan

By Mike Wall

Dragonfly will launch in 2026, if all goes according to plan.

NASA is going to Titan.

The space agency announced today (June 27) that the next mission in its New Frontiers line of medium-cost missions will be Dragonfly, a rotorcraft designed to ply the skies of the huge, hazy and potentially life-hosting Saturn moon.

If all goes according to plan, Dragonfly will launch in 2026 and land on Titan eight years later, NASA officials said. The probe will then spend at least 2.5 years cruising around the 3,200-mile-wide (5,150 kilometers) moon, making two dozen flights that cover a total of about 110 miles (180 km).

• Related: Amazing Photos: Titan, Saturn's Largest Moon

The 10-foot-long (3 meters) Dragonfly will gather a variety of data at each of its stops. Such work will help scientists learn more about Titan, the only solar system body other than Earth known to host stable bodies of liquid on its surface. 

Titan's surface lakes, rivers and seas aren't composed of water, however: The frigid moon's climate system is based on hydrocarbons, in particular methane and ethane.

The mission is geared toward characterizing Titan's chemistry in detail. Complex organic molecules are known to swirl in the moon's thick, nitrogen-dominated atmosphere, and some scientists think its hydrocarbon seas could host exotic forms of life.

Titan also hosts another potentially habitable environment — a buried ocean of liquid water, which sloshes beneath the moon's icy crust.

Dragonfly could conceivably find evidence of Titan life, if the moon is indeed inhabited. And, because Titan is very similar to the early Earth, the mission's observations may shed light on the chemical processes that helped life get going on our planet, NASA officials said.

"Titan is unlike any other place in the solar system, and Dragonfly is like no other mission," Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's associate administrator for science at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., said in a statement. 

"It's remarkable to think of this rotorcraft flying miles and miles across the organic sand dunes of Saturn's largest moon, exploring the processes that shape this extraordinary environment," he added. "Dragonfly will visit a world filled with a wide variety of organic compounds, which are the building blocks of life and could teach us about the origin of life itself."

Dragonfly will land among Titan's dunes, then make its way toward its final destination, the 50-mile-wide (80 km) Selk Crater. Selk is a particularly good place to study prebiotic chemistry and look for signs of life, NASA officials said. That's because the three ingredients necessary for life as we know it — liquid water, organic molecules and energy — mixed during the impact that created the crater. (Titan's bedrock is water ice.)

Dragonfly will be nuclear powered, like NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, the New Horizons Pluto probe and many other deep-space explorers. 

Dragonfly will be the fourth mission in the New Frontiers program, following New Horizons, the Juno probe to Jupiter and the OSIRIS-REx asteroid-sampling mission. Dragonfly's development costs are capped at $850 million, though the mission's total price tag, including launch, will probably top $1 billion.

The other finalist for the mid-2020s New Frontiers launch slot was the Comet Astrobiology Exploration Sample Return (CAESAR) mission, which proposed snagging bits of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — the same icy wanderer studied up close by Europe's Rosetta mission.

Dragonfly won't be the first craft to land on Titan. That honor belongs to Europe's Huygens probe, which touched down on the moon in January 2005. Huygens traveled to the Saturn system with NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which orbited the ringed planet from mid-2004 through September 2017.

1897 UFO Crash in Aurora, Texas

Those who study the UFO mystery are always asked for proof. And the proof is hard to find. The enigma of UFOs is different than any other phenomena, and the proof is elusive. There have been many reports of crashed UFOs, but most of these rely heavily on circumstantial evidence, and not solid, physical proof. Sometimes there are eyewitness accounts of physical evidence, but that evidence has been removed, lost, or stolen. Such is the case of the Aurora, Texas UFO Crash of 1897. The case bears many similarities to the Roswell Crash of 1947.

Aurora's History

Because of ever-changing railroad lines, and Texas highways, it is a miracle that the small town of Aurora, Texas is still there. And not only that, but it is a legendary "historical site" as designated by the state of Texas. Why would a small farming community get such a distinction? One reason-an alien spacecraft crashed there in 1897. At least that's what the residents say, and what the newspaper reports claimed.

A Great Airship

Although it would be five years or so before the Wright brothers would make the first controlled aircraft flight, this pre-flight era would become known as the "great airship" period in Ufology. Whereas many of today's unexplained UFO sightings are assigned to conventional flying craft, that luxury did not exist in 1897. Anything flying that was not a bird, blimp, or balloon could be extraterrestrial.

The Crash

These early ships were a slow-moving craft, and so was the one that crashed into an Aurora windmill on April 19. According to the legend, the craft was destroyed, and the remains of an alien pilot were discovered among the remains. Also found among the scattered debris was a strange material with hieroglyphic-type etching. The alien creature was given a proper burial in the one and only cemetery in town. The alien body has long since disappeared.

Staying Afloat

For the time period, news of this event was spread wide and far. Many new visitors made their way to the little town to see what all the gossip was about. Second and third-hand stories would soon morph into eyewitness accounts. Where the information came from that supplied newspaper accounts is anyone's guess.

Local Newspaper Coverage

Local newspapers carried this story

About 6 o'clock this morning the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing around the country. It was traveling due north and much nearer the earth than before. Evidently, some of the machinery was out of order, for it was making a speed of only ten or twelve miles an hour, and gradually settling toward the earth.

UPI Coverage

"Aurora, Tex. -- (UPI) -- A grave in a small north Texas cemetery contains the body of an 1897 astronaut who was 'not an inhabitant of this world,' according to the International UFO Bureau. The group, which investigates unidentified flying objects, has already initiated legal proceedings to exhume the body and will go to court if necessary to open the grave, director Hayden Hewes said Wednesday."

Not of this World

UPI also picked up the story, and the legend was spread far beyond the borders of Texas. There were a number of eyewitness accounts of the incident later published, and they all agreed with the basic facts. An unknown craft had crashed into the town, strange debris was found, and a being "not of this world" was found in the wreckage. One intriguing account, although second-hand, came from a 15-year-old girl. Her parents had visited the site, and claimed that the alien pilot was a "small man."

Military Cover-up

There is also evidence of a military cover-up. Soon after the crash, military personnel came to Aurora. Could they have been responsible for the removal of the alien body? For a time, there was a headstone for the body, but even it has disappeared. All that remains are photographs of the headstone.

There have been, at times, lobbying to dig up the alien grave and see what evidence may remain. But townsfolk have kept this from happening. What excitement would run through UFO circles if alien DNA was found there? Maybe it is best to leave the grave alone, and let the Aurora mystery remain.

Ook afgelopen nacht voor kust Knokke: magische, blauwe gloed in het water - HLN.be

Bron: AD.nl

Op Twitter deelden mensen veelvuldig beelden van het blauw oplichtende water. De zeevonk was te zien vanaf de kust in Knokke tot aan het Waddeneiland Terschelling (in het noorden van Nederland). Dat meldt het Twitteraccount ZeevonkAlert, dat alle meldingen bijhield. 

Zeevonk (Noctiluca scintillans) is een eencellig beestje, een zogeheten zweephaardiertje, die algen eet. Het heeft een lichtgevend enzym dat actief wordt bij beweging door bijvoorbeeld golfslag. Een chemische reactie veroorzaakt dan het blauwe licht. 

Het natuurverschijnsel komt bijna elk jaar voor bij warm, zonnig, windstil weer. “De alg licht op wanneer water in beweging komt. Op de foto zullen er golfjes geweest zijn of steentjes in het water zijn gegooid, waardoor je het blauwe licht ziet”, legde Ben Lankamp van Weerplaza vorig jaar al eens uit. 

De algen geven niet onbeperkt licht: als zeevonk ‘tot bloei komt’, maakt de alg het pigment caroteen aan, ook wel het ‘worteltjespigment’ genoemd. Zodra zeevonk in dat stadium is, geeft het geen licht meer ’s avonds. Gelukkig hebben we dan de foto’s nog.

Harde knal gehoord en ook vuurbal gespot boven Nederland: een meteoriet - HLN.be

Teake Dijkstra en redactie 

Bron: AD.nl, ANP

WETENSCHAP & PLANEET In Nederland zijn vanavond veel mensen opgeschrikt door een harde knal. Sommige Nederlanders zeggen dat ze ook een vuurbal hebben gezien. Een meteoriet misschien? Bij de ‘Werkgroep Meteoren’ (Nederlandse vereniging voor meteoorwaarnemers en -liefhebbers, red.) kwamen in ieder geval al ruim 200 meldingen binnen. 

Ook op sociale media zijn er veel meldingen van mensen die iets vreemds hebben gezien en/of gehoord. Meldingen over een doffe, harde knal kwamen eerst uit onder andere Zwolle, maar ook van verder weg, tot in Drenthe en Friesland. Vanuit heel Oost-Nederland worden er intussen berichten gepost over de ferme dreun. Sommigen zagen ook een fel licht of een vuurbal aan de hemel. Speculatie alom intussen over een mogelijke meteoriet, maar het is onduidelijk of dat echt zo is.

IN BEELD. De een-na-grootste meteoorexplosie in de laatste 30 jaar, en niemand die ’m zag

Bij de de Werkgroep Meteoren zijn vanavond tot dusver 220 meldingen binnengekomen van mensen die een meteoor boven Nederland denken gespot te hebben. “De mensen hebben de heldere vuurbol omstreeks half tien ’s avonds gezien”, zegt Joost Hartman van de Werkgroep Meteoren. “De meeste meldingen komen uit het oosten van Nederland. Er zijn ook mensen die harde knallen hebben gehoord. Zelf heb ik die heldere vuurbol helaas gemist.” Hartman weet niet zeker of al die mensen een meteoor hebben gezien, maar het lijkt hem wel waarschijnlijk. 

Een meteoor is een stofdeel dat verbrandt in de dampkring. Soms gaat dat gepaard met een knal.

Hier in Doornspijk ook harde, doffe #knal / dreun gehoord. Dachten dat het startsignaal was voor #Defqon. Blijkt nu toch wat anders.

Misschien dus #meteoriet ?

Of aliens?

of aliens op Defqon?

From 1475 BCE to 1275 BCE, the Mitanni Empire ruled over the northern Euphrates-Tigris region in what is now Iraq. It’s only rival at that time was Egypt, but when the Hittite Empire began gaining power, they joined together against it. That wasn’t enough, and Mitanni was eventually defeated by the Hittite and assimilated so completely that very little is known of the dynasty. That may change with the discovery of a MIttani palace in Iraqi Kurdistan after drought exposed it in a reservoir.

“The find is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the region in recent decades and illustrates the success of the Kurdish-German cooperation.”

Cooperation is always a good thing, especially at archeological sites in areas of political strife. Kurdish archaeologist Hasan Ahmed Qasim was working with Dr. Hasan Ahmed Qasim and Dr. Ivana Puljiz on a joint research project between the University of Tübingen and the Kurdistan Archaeology Organization (KAO) in cooperation with the Duhok Directorate of Antiquities after a drought caused the water level of the Mosul Reservoir in northern Iraq to drop unexpectedly and substantially, revealing the remains of a Bronze Age palace which is believed to have once stood on the edge of the Tigris River valley in the Mitanni town of Kemune. The site was first discovered in 2010, but the recent drop in water level was the first change archeologists had to do some serious digging

According to the press release by the University of Tübingen, the palace was a solid structure with two-meters thick mud walls, some standing over two meters high. A number of rooms were identified and those contained items that may finally shed some light on the Mitanni empire. One contained ten cuneiform clay tablets which suggest that Kemune may have once be the ancient city of Zachiku, which was thought to have existed in that area 400 years before. (Photos of the site here.) However, it’s what was on the walls that got the archeologists most excited, according to Puljiz.

“We also found remnants of murals in bright shades of red and blue. Mural paintings may have been a typical feature of palaces in the 2nd millennium BC, but they have seldom been preserved. Therefore, the discovery of murals in Kemune is an archaeological sensation.”

This is yet another important archeological site covered by the waters of a dam – in this case, the Mosul Reservoir of the Mosul Dam, the largest dam in Iraq. Completed in 1986, provides electricity to the 1.7 million residents of Mosul … and also some anxiety. The dam was briefly taken over by ISIS in 2014 and it has required constant maintenance and repairs due to being built on top of gypsum, a soft mineral that dissolves in contact with water. Whose bright idea was this? Saddam Hussein.

“The Mittani empire is one of the least-explored ancient Near Eastern empires. So far, information about the palaces of the Mittani period has only been found in Tell Brak in Syria and in the cities of Nuzi and Alalach on the outskirts of the empire.”

Saddam may be gone, but instability remains – both in the dam and the region. This appears to be an important central palace of the Mittani Empire, and could help locate its capital, which has remained a mystery in an empire of mysteries.

Will the researchers be able to uncover the secrets of the Mittani Empire and outrace the instability of the governments and the dam? Cooperation will help. So will luck. And don’t forget the climate change that caused the drought.

Archeology is a complicated science.

300 Meter UFO Parked In Crater On Earths Moon, June 30, 2019, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: June 30, 2019

I found a 300 meter long ship in a small crater on earths moon today. The ship is parked along the edge of the crater upper wall and is actually hovering above the ground. The shadow below it really shows the detail of its hight and size. 

To find its measurement I had to use a nearby crater called Messier A, which has a diameter of 11km. This helped me determine the size of the UFO itself. This is a white ceramic style ship. That means its reflective like shiny white ceramic and this makes it near impossible to get a detailed photo of unless its in the shadows.

This amazing six sided structure with a tower at its center was dicovered by Youtuber Jean Ward. He found a hexagon, a six sided structure. There is no way that such a large structure could be found in nature like this. Its huge, about half a km across. This is an amazing discovery and is proof that aliens did once live on Mars and the structures they left behind are still intact. A potential base for humanity in the future.

Glowing UFOs Light Up Sky Over City Of Mulhouse, France On June 20, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: June 20, 2019

Location of sighting: Mulhouse, France

These glowing orbs were seen over France this week. The eyewitness used a special app to record it that placed a bar across the video. Its strange, but today there are many video sharing apps that do such things. Kinda hurts the video, but it is still helpful in deterring the size and appearance of the UFOs. The orbs are flying together in unison, a fleet.

EXPLODERENDE METEORIET BOVEN NEDERLAND? (VIDEO)

Vrijdagavond laat verschenen er ineens overal berichten over mensen die een soort explosie in de lucht hadden gehoord. 

Daarnaast hebben velen een vuurbol gezien en het is waarschijnlijk geen toeval dat dit juist deze week gebeurt.

Mensen door het hele land hebben rond half tien vanavond een fel licht of een vuurbal aan de hemel gezien. En in de omgeving van Zwolle wordt tegelijkertijd gesproken over een doffe, harde knal. Op sociale media wordt gespeculeerd dat het een meteoriet was, maar het is niet duidelijk of dat ook echt zo is. 

De berichten komen overal vandaan, van het Groningse Kropswolde tot het Brabantse Beek en Donk. Een woordvoerder van de veiligheidsregio IJsselland zegt dat er geen meldingen zijn gedaan van een inslag van een meteoriet. 

We vonden een korte opname die iemand heeft gemaakt van het geluid en dit is dan klaarblijkelijk wat men hoorde: 



Onder die video staat weer een commentaar van iemand die het volgende zegt:

Grootste onzin, Stond op hoogste natuurlijke plek van Drenthe, Midden in natuurgebied en zag hem van oost naar west over me heen komen, Geen knal of iets wat daar op lijkt gehoord. 

Ook de volgende twee Tweets laten geen relatie zien tussen vuurbol in de lucht en de knal.

Maar, dan komen er ook berichten van mensen die zowel de vuurbol hebben gezien als ook de knal gehoord.

Enkele dagen geleden explodeerde een asteroïde ter grootte van een auto boven Pueto Rico. 

Deze asteroïde werd door astronomen op Hawaii enkele uren voordat deze de dampkring binnenkwam ontdekt. Op het moment dat dit gebeurde brak de asteroïde uit elkaar en explodeerde met een kracht 6.000 ton TNT. 

Het komt bijna nooit voor dat astronomen een asteroïde ontdekken voordat deze inslaat op de aarde. Dit keer gelukkig niet op de grond, maar de explosie was wel zo heftig dat satellieten in een omloopbaan om de aarde deze registreerden. 



We schreven iets meer dan een week geleden dat deze week een relatief gevaarlijke week kon worden voor de aarde en dat de beruchte Tunguska explosie in 1908 ook eind juni plaatsvond en waarschijnlijk ook is veroorzaakt door een asteroïde die de dampkring binnenkwam en vervolgens explodeerde: 

De datum van de explosie (30 juni) staat in verband met de 'Tauriden', een meteorenzwerm, die de baan van de Aarde kruist. Dergelijke zwermen stof en fijn gruis, vaak op Aarde zichtbaar als 'sterrenregen', ontstaan uit kometen die verdampen en uiteenvallen. Het is niet onmogelijk dat een nog niet geheel tot stof vergaan brokstuk van de moederkomeet (komeet Encke) de Aarde heeft getroffen. 

Nu begeeft de aarde zich wederom richting Tauriden, maar dit keer is er iets bijzonders. En dat is dat we nu heel dicht bij die meteorietenzwerm in de buurt zullen komen. De laatste keer dat we zo dichtbij kwamen was in 1975 en de volgende keer dat dit zal gebeuren is in 2032. 

Er zijn wetenschappers die vermoeden dat er zich binnen die Tauriden meteorietenzwerm een aantal grotere brokstukken (meer dan 100 meter doorsnee) bevinden die een bedreiging voor de aarde zouden kunnen vormen. 

Natuurlijk wordt er altijd gezegd dat de kans dat de aarde in botsing komt met een brokstuk van meer dan 100 meter doorsnee heel erg klein is en maar eens in de zoveel jaar voor komt. Feit is echter dat we in een dusdanig turbulente tijd leven dat er steeds vaker "eens in de duizend jaar" gebeurtenissen plaatsvinden.

Er is trouwens ook zonder de Tauriden een opvallende toename waar te nemen van meteorieten. 

In het volgende overzicht zie je dat de eerste vijf maanden van dit jaar een groter aantal meteorieten laat zien dan in alle voorgaande jaren. 

Verontrustend is natuurlijk wel dat astronomen asteroïden vaak helemaal niet of pas op het laatste moment opmerken. En dat in een tijd waar er steeds meer van die objecten richting aarde schijnen te komen.

On April 30, 2001, the National Security Archive issued a statement that read as follows: “In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS.  This document, titled “Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba” was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the key component of Northwoods.” The release continues: “Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba.”

To say that these “various pretexts” were controversial is an understatement, as the National Security Archive’s press-release shows: “These proposals – part of a secret anti-Castro program known as Operation Mongoose – included staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake ‘Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington,” including “sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated),’ faking a Cuban air force attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a ‘Remember the Maine’ incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage.  Bamford himself writes that Operation Northwoods ‘may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government.’”

An extract from the highly-classified Operation Northwoods document file states: “The suggested courses of action are based on the premise that US military intervention will result from a period of heightened US-Cuban tensions which place the United States in the position of suffering justifiable grievances. World opinion, and the United Nations forum should be favorably affected by developing the international image of the Cuban government as rash and irresponsible, and as an alarming and unpredictable threat to the peace of the Western Hemisphere.”

The now-declassified document makes it clear that the Joint Chiefs of Staff were gung-ho for the project: “The Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attached Memorandum for the Chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which responds to a request of that office for brief but precise description of pretexts which would provide justification for US military intervention in Cuba. The Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend that the proposed memorandum be forwarded as a preliminary submission suitable for planning purposes. It is assumed that there will be similar submissions from other agencies and that these inputs will be used as a basis for developing a time-phased plan. Individual projects can then be considered on a case-by-case basis.”

There is also this, from the Operation Northwoods dossier: “Further, It is assumed that a single agency will be given the primary responsibility for developing military and para-military aspects of the basic plan. It is recommended that this responsibility for both overt and covert military operations be assigned the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And, finally, from the Northwoods file, we have this:  “Such a plan would enable a logical build-up of incidents to be combined with other seemingly unrelated events to camouflage the ultimate objective and create the necessary impression of Cuban rashness and irresponsibility on a large scale, directed at other countries as well as the United States. The plan would also properly integrate and time phase the courses of action to be pursued. The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.”

Clearly, the idea of one day possibly using false flags to try and ensure that Cuba would be perceived as a “threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere” was a highly popular one.

Researchers Decipher the History of Supermassive Black Holes in the Early Universe

Astrophysicists at Western University have found evidence for the direct formation of black holes that do not need to emerge from a star remnant. The production of black holes in the early universe, formed in this manner, may provide scientists with an explanation for the presence of extremely massive black holes at a very early stage in the history of our universe.

Shantanu Basu and Arpan Das from Western’s Department of Physics & Astronomy have developed an explanation for the observed distribution of supermassive black hole masses and luminosities, for which there was previously no scientific explanation. The findings were published today by Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The model is based on a very simple assumption: supermassive black holes form very, very quickly over very, very short periods of time and then suddenly, they stop. This explanation contrasts with the current understanding of how stellar-mass black holes are formed, which is they emerge when the centre of a very massive star collapses in upon itself.

“This is indirect observational evidence that black holes originate from direct-collapses and not from stellar remnants,” says Basu, an astronomy professor at Western who is internationally recognized as an expert in the early stages of star formation and protoplanetary disk evolution.

Basu and Das developed the new mathematical model by calculating the mass function of supermassive black holes that form over a limited time period and undergo a rapid exponential growth of mass. The mass growth can be regulated by the Eddington limit that is set by a balance of radiation and gravitation forces or can even exceed it by a modest factor.

“Supermassive black holes only had a short time period where they were able to grow fast and then at some point, because of all the radiation in the universe created by other black holes and stars, their production came to a halt,” explains Basu. “That’s the direct-collapse scenario.”

During the last decade, many supermassive black holes that are a billion times more massive than the Sun have been discovered at high ‘redshifts,’ meaning they were in place in our universe within 800 million years after the Big Bang. The presence of these young and very massive black holes question our understanding of black hole formation and growth. The direct-collapse scenario allows for initial masses that are much greater than implied by the standard stellar remnant scenario, and can go a long way to explaining the observations. This new result provides evidence that such direct-collapse black holes were indeed produced in the early universe.

Basu believes that these new results can be used with future observations to infer the formation history of the extremely massive black holes that exist at very early times in our universe.

Life on Mars Possible after Last Great Meteorite Impact Nearly 4.5 Billion Years Ago

A new international study led by Western University shows that Mars’ first ‘real chance’ at developing life started very early, 4.48 billion years ago, when giant, life-inhibiting meteorites stopped striking the red planet.

Tiny igneous zircon grains within this rock fragment were fractured by the launch from Mars but otherwise unaltered for more than 4.4 billion years. The images was taken with an optical polarizing compound microscope at Western’s Zircon & Accessory Phase Laboratory.

These findings, published online today in Nature Geoscience, suggest that conditions under which life could have thrived may have occurred on Mars from around 4.2 to 3.5 billion years ago. This predates the earliest evidence of life on Earth by up to 500 million years.

It is known that the number and size of meteorite impacts on Mars and Earth gradually declined after the planets formed. Eventually, impacts became small and infrequent enough that the near-surface conditions could allow life to develop. However, when the heavy meteorite bombardment waned has long been debated. It has been proposed that there was a ‘late’ phase of heavy bombardment of both planets that ended around 3.8 billion years ago.

For the study, Desmond Moser from Western’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geographyand his students and collaborators analyzed the oldest-known mineral grains from meteorites that are believed to have originated from Mars’ southern highlands. These ancient grains, imaged down to atomic levels, are almost unchanged since they crystallized near the surface of Mars.

Microscope image taken in Western’s Zircon and Accessory Phase Laboratory of a thin slice through the meteorite shows most ancient (>4.43 billion years) crust of Mars. It has not witnessed giant impact processes so giant impacts had to have happened earlier.

Credit:

In comparison, analysis of impacted areas on Earth and its Moon shows that more than 80 per cent of the grains studied contained features associated with impacts, such as exposure to intense pressures and temperatures. The analyses of Earth, Mars and Moon samples were conducted at Western’s nationally unique Zircon & Accessory Phase Laboratory, which is led by Moser.

The results suggest that heavy bombardment of Mars ended before the analyzed minerals formed, which means, the Martian surface would have become habitable by the time it is believed that water was abundant there. Water was also present on Earth by this time so it is plausible that the solar system’s biological clock started much earlier than previously accepted.

“Giant meteorite impacts on Mars between 4.2 and 3.5 billion years ago may have actually accelerated the release of early waters from the interior of the planet setting the stage for life-forming reactions,” says Moser. “This work may point out good places to get samples returned from Mars.”
