Latest UFO Sightings Reports – July 2020 - PART II
Denver, Colorado – June 2020 Hello there my name is Cearaand I live in Denver Colorado… Living in Colorado I’ve seen lots of UFO’s in my 40 years of living here but as of recently I’ve been noticing some bright stars or something in the sky that I’m starting to see about every other night often on for the last two weeks now… I went outside sometime last week to take my dogs out noticed that whatever was in the sky was incredibly bright As I took one dog in to get the other when I came back out whenever I saw that was bright and completely disappeared… There’s generally too bright object in the sky when is very bright and one is a little bit dimmer next to it… And I started to analyze whatever was in the sky it completely came back on bright and shiny we had an extremely cloudy day but for whatever reason you could see what was ever in the sky so I pulled out my camera and started to record this… And then just a few days later I continue to watch for them and on the second day they reappear ..they didn’t dim out is greatly is they did the first night But not only did they light up and go away they also moved positions
Wyoming – June 2020 Brother took a pic of Wyoming sunset and caught this
Chicago, IL 60607 – May 30 2020 @2:15 Hey I was going threw my pictures and I found this
Oklahoma – 4th july 2019
Beaver County Utah – July of 2019 During the summer of 2019 I was camping on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along Indian Creek road in Beaver County Utah about 14 miles north of Beaver, Utah. I had many sightings there during that summer (and some of them quite strange) but I’ll tell you about the close-up I had. In July of 2019 about an hour before sunset I observed a triangular UFO descending almost directly overhead with lights on its underside. The only thing in the sky other than the UFO were two military jets. The object seemed to be coming very close to one of the jets but narrowly missed it. It kept descending until it was 100 feet high and 100 feet away from my position near my tent. I kept my eyes on it in order to notice everything possible. It was triangular with rounded corners and had no visible means of propulsion nor did it have windows or any door that I could discern. There were 3 horizontal stripes that appeared to encircle the craft. One thicker stripe with 1 thin stripe above and another below. The thick stripe was darker than the other stripes but still brown. The other 2 stripes were of a lighter brown and the craft was of a little lighter brown than any of the stripes. It was descending slowly without any sound and then seamlessly began slowly ascending. The duration of this sighting was at least 10 seconds.

I was legally blind but for some reason they were surprised i saw them. they had no mouth but i was thinking about things i wanted to know. i pictured me cracking them if they hurt my family. i was walking to catch up to my family. while leaving i turned and the biggest grasshopper came out from behind the bush they were hiding.he was definitely the muscle. i would love to communicate with them. i know i could see them
We’ve lost the secret to making some of history’s most useful inventions, and for all of our ingenuity and discoveries, our ancestors of thousands of years ago are still able to baffle us with their ingenuity and discoveries. We have developed the modern equivalent of some of these inventions, but only very recently.
1. Greek Fire: Mysterious Chemical Weapon
Image from an illuminated manuscript, the Madrid Skylitzes, showing Greek Fire in use against the fleet of the rebel Thomas the Slav. The caption above the left ship reads, “the fleet of the Romans setting ablaze the fleet of the enemies.”
The Byzantines of the 7th to 12th centuries hurled a mysterious substance at their enemies in naval battle. This liquid, shot through tubes or siphons, burned in water and could only be extinguished with vinegar, sand, and urine. We still don’t know what this chemical weapon , known as Greek Fire, was made of. The Byzantines guarded the secret jealously, ensuring only a select few knew the secret, and the knowledge was eventually lost altogether.
Three ancient accounts of a substance known as vitrum flexile , flexible glass, are not clear enough to determine that this substance actually existed. The story of its invention was first told by Petronius (d. 63 A.D.).
He wrote about a glassmaker who presented the Emperor Tiberius (who reigned 14–37 A.D.) with a glass vessel. He asked the emperor to hand it back to him, at which point, the glassmaker threw it to the floor. It didn’t break; it only dented, and the glassmaker hammered it quickly back into shape. Fearing the devaluation of precious metals, Tiberius ordered the inventor beheaded so the secret of vitrum flexile would die with him.
Pliny the Elder (d. 79 A.D.) told this story as well. He said that, although the story was frequently told, it may not be entirely true.
The version told a couple hundred years later by Dio Cassius morphed the glassmaker into a sort of magician. When the vessel was thrown to the floor, it broke and the glassmaker fixed it with his bare hands.
In 2012, the glass manufacturing company Corning introduced its flexible “Willow Glass.” Heat-resistant and flexible enough to be rolled up, it has proven especially useful in making solar panels.
If the unfortunate Roman glassmaker did indeed invent vitrum flexile, it seems he was thousands of years ahead of his time.
3. An Antidote to All Poisons
A so-called “universal antidote” against all poisons was said to have been developed by King Mithridates VI of Pontus (who reigned 120–63 B.C.) and perfected by Emperor Nero’s personal physician. The original formula was lost, explained Adrienne Mayor, a folklorist and historian of science at Stanford University, in a 2008 paper, titled “Greek Fire, Poison Arrows & Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World.” But ancient historians told us that among its ingredients were opium, chopped vipers, and a combination of small doses of poisons and their antidotes.
The valuable substance was known as Mithridatium, named for King Mithridates VI.
Mayor noted that Serguei Popov, a former top biological weapons researcher in the Soviet Union’s massive Biopreparat program who defected to the United States in 1992, was attempting to make a modern-day Mithridatium.
4. Heat-Ray Weapon

Greek mathematician Archimedes (d. 212 B.C.) developed a heat-ray weapon that defied the skills of Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters” to replicate in 2004. Mayor described the weapon as “ranks of polished bronze shields reflecting the sun’s rays at enemy ships.”
Although “Mythbusters” failed to reproduce this ancient weapon and declared it a myth, MIT students succeeded in 2005. They combusted a boat in San Francisco harbor using the 2,200-year-old weapon.
A heat-ray weapon unveiled in 2001 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) used microwaves to penetrate “a victim’s skin, heating it to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, creating the sensation that one is on fire,” explained Mayor.
5. Roman Concrete
Roman concrete was used to construct the magnificent pantheon, which has endured for two millennia.

The vast Roman structures that have lasted thousands of years are testaments to the advantages Roman concrete has over the concrete used nowadays, which shows signs of degradation after 50 years.
Researchers have worked in recent years to uncover the secret of this ancient concrete’s longevity. The secret ingredient is volcanic ash.
An article published in 2013 by the University of California–Berkeley News Center announced that university researchers described for the first time how the extraordinarily stable compound calcium-aluminum-silicate-hydrate (C-A-S-H) binds the material. The process of making it would create lower carbon dioxide emissions than the process for making modern concrete. Some disadvantages of its use are, however, that it takes longer to dry, and although it lasts longer, it is weaker than modern concrete.
In medieval times, swords made of a substance called Damascus steel were being produced in the Middle East out of a raw material, known as Wootz steel, from Asia. It was perplexingly strong. It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that metal so strong would be forged again.
The secret of making the Middle East’s Damascus Steel has only reemerged under the inspection of scanning electron microscopes in modern laboratories. It was first used around 300 B.C. and the knowledge seems to have been inexplicably lost around the mid-18th century.
Nanotechnology was involved in the production of Damascus steel, in the sense that materials were added during the steel’s production to create chemical reactions at the quantum level, explained archaeology expert K. Kris Hirst in an article written for About Education. It was a kind of alchemy.
Hirst cited a study led by Peter Paufler at the University of Dresden and published in the journal Nature in 2006. Paufler and his team hypothesized that the natural properties of the source material from Asia (the Wootz steel), when combined with materials added during the production process in the Middle East, caused a reaction: “The metal developed a microstructure called ‘carbide nanotubes,’ extremely hard tubes of carbon that are expressed on the surface and create the blade’s hardness,” Hirst explained.
Materials added during the production of Damascus steel included Cassia auriculata bark, milkweed, vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, and some rare elements, traces of which presumably came from the mines in India.
Hirst wrote, “What happened in the mid-18th century was that the chemical makeup of the raw material altered—the minute quantities of one or more of the minerals disappeared, perhaps because the particular lode was exhausted.”
NASA’s asteroid hunters have identified yet another five close flybys due this week but, even more worryingly, they have also identified one space rock which will soon pass between Earth and the Moon.
In highly alarming news from NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), asteroid hunters have identified a ‘potentially hazardous’ asteroid due to pass Earth in September at a paltry distance of 71,805km – just one-fifth of the distance between us and the Moon (384,399km).
Asteroid 2011 ES4, which measures 160ft (49 meters), is expected to buzz the Earth at 29,375kph on September 1 at 10:49am EDT (3:49pm BST).
Mercifully, given its somewhat small diameter, even if it were to stray off course and actually hit us, it would not be the end of life as we know it, though it would certainly pack a punch.
For context, the Chelyabinsk meteor which exploded above Russia on February 15, 2013 was just 18 meters in diameter, but was still sizeable enough to cause significant localized damage.
It exploded with up to 33 times the energy released from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Some 1,491 people were injured in the incident, mostly by debris like shattered glass or from burns on their skin owing to the brightness of the explosion, which was 30 times more intense than the Sun.
At least 112 had to be hospitalized in the immediate aftermath of the incident, two in serious condition.
So in the unlikely event that 2011 ES4, almost three times the size of the Chelyabinsk meteor, should take a detour and pay us an even closer visit than expected, the damage could potentially be substantial.
In the meantime, on Monday, two asteroids measuring at least 30 meters, 2020 KJ7 (30m, roughly half the size of the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and 2009 OS5 (42m, or half the size of the Statue of Liberty) will pass us by at a distance of 4.5 million and 6.75 million kilometers respectively.
On Tuesday, asteroid 2020 MQ2 (42m), measuring five London buses in diameter, will pass us at 6.4 million kilometers, followed on Thursday by 2020 NM (21m or one-and-a-half times the height of the Hollywood sign), which will shoot past us at a safe distance of four million kilometers.
Bringing up the rear on Friday will be the Arc de Triomphe-sized 2020 MX (48m), which will fly past at 5.6 million kilometers, ending yet another week of relatively close calls for our home planet.
Black holes are generally imagined as terrifying star-sized planet eaters or more terrifying supermassive star eaters – things to rightfully be afraid of. Would you be terrified of a black hole the size of a grapefruit? An apple? A golf ball? A team of astronomers from Harvard University and the Black Hole Initiative (who knew they had their own initiative?) have put for the idea that the long-rumored Planet Nine may not be a planet at all but instead one of this miniature black holes with enough gravitational pull to disrupt the outer edges of our solar system. If we can’t find a planetary Planet Nine, how will we find an apple-sized Black Hole Nine?
“We find that if Planet Nine is a BH, its existence can be discovered by LSST due to brief accretion flares powered by small bodies from the Oort cloud, which would be detected at a rate of at least a few per year.”
Oort cloud
Well, that explains it … if you’re a Harvard science professor like the famous Abraham ‘Avi’ Loeb and his partner, undergraduate student Amir Siraj. In their new paper, accepted recently by The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Loeb steps out of his normal comet/asteroid/alien spaceship mode (you may remember his name from his various theories on `Oumuamua) and into a black (BH) hole just big enough for his foot. He proposes that a small primordial black hole (one created by the Big Bang and not due to the collapse of a dead star) with the same estimated mass as Planet Nine (about five times that of Earth) could be lurking somewhere in the Oort cloud amongst its icy planetesimals. As those tiny ice bodies melt, they could be sucked into this tiny black hole. When that happens, a visible flare of gas would be emitted from the black hole, which could possibly be seen by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) scheduled to begin once the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile is completed later this year.
“If multiple bursts are observed over the course of a year, the proper motion of the source can be used to identify the orbital parameters of the BH.”
Loeb isn’t the first to propose that the theoretical Planet Nine is actually a theoretical Black Hole Nine, but he and Siraj are the first to propose a simple method of finding it. Of course, this method requires the patience of waiting until the LSST is completed and at least part of the way through its 10-year mission of surveying the southern sky. However, it’s much more elegant and less needle-in-the-haystackish than other proposals to send tiny laser-sail spacecrafts to search for it.
“Additionally, if Planet Nine is a black hole with a magnetic charge, then the synchrotron emission from the accretion flow around it could make its flares much brighter and more easily detectable.”
An amazing life-size re-creation of a black hole eating a planetesimal?
Would you be excited or disappointed if it turns out that Planet Nine is a tiny black hole, not a mysterious giant planet or worse, a mysterious giant Nibiru heading towards a cataclysmic collision with Earth? Would you fear a grapefruit-zed black hole that eats ice particles like kids catching snowflakes on their tongues in a snowstorm?

Erich Von Daniken – Mysterious findings in the Gize Pyramids continue to date. From the first pioneers and explorers to modern day scientific scanning, the pyramids hold on tight to their secrets. The discoveries made throughout the pyramids indicates that there could be other yet to be discovered rooms and possible artefacts.
Erich Von Daniken reveals the explorers involved throughout many years and what discoveries have been made including the more modern scientific undertakings.
I found this black structure and normally would have passed it up, but I instead used software to correct the out of focus screenshot from the moon map. The Black structure is like something out of a move. It has a big opening facing us and two long parts sticking out. There is clearly an amazing building here, but its more...its a ship that can move locations, but I guess they either parked it here to return later, or abandoned it. Either way, finders keepers. Its mine, hands off! Now...I got to make a go fund me page of...say a hundred billion to go get it and bring it back. LOL, joking, not going to happen.
I appreciate the donations you have sent in and used some of the money to purchase software that allows me to fix pixelization. It will focus the pixeled photos. I really wanted to get this because so many times I pass up on reporting something because too much pixelization from enlarging the photos to see the structures. Because of a few caring people out there, I managed to get a fix for this problem, and I will be able to now deliver much higher quality photos and videos to you. I also have some items coming, will make videos of them and share them, never before seen before too...all because of the donations. 100% is spent towards alien research.

UFO Seen Over Ottawa, Canada During Sunset In July 12, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Seen Over Ottawa, Canada During Sunset In July 12, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 12, 2020
Location of sighting: Ottawa, Canada
Source: MUFON #110120
Here is a great photo of a disk from the side. The object was seen flying near an airport in Ottawa and is tilted so that we can see part of its bottom. The disk has a hump in its upper center, similar to classic disks, but flat on the bottom. This is further proof that UFOs take a high interest in airports since the newest technology is used to create todays jets and airliners.
Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
When taking a photo of the sunset clouds at YOW Ottawa Airport I observed an anomaly in my photo. I took multiple photos in a short time. The object appeared in the upper left. No other photos contained the object. Lens was checked and was found to be clean. Zoomed in on object and was surprised to find a defined shape. I am a lifelong airplane enthusiast and have never observed anything like this.
Notice that the disk top is semi clear, that means there are alien pilots that are looking through the walls at this moment.

When I received some photos from a friend on Facebook of a UFO near Comet Neowise, I decided to have a closer look. I went to an official NASA website and found such a photo. It shows the surface of the comet itself, but when in enlarged it and zoomed it...I found a few structures that reveled the truth...that the comet is not what it seems. I found a few structures and alien ships and colored the yellow to make them stand out more. I have zero doubts that these are 100% alien in origin. Scott C. Waring
A line of unusual lights has been spotted hovering in the night sky, with witnesses from both the US and Mexico claiming to have seen them.
Several witnesses have shared their videos online from the sight on March 31.
One video, posted to the Mutual UFO Network, shows four orbs appearing to change colour above Laguna Beach in California.
Another light then appears as the objects hovering in a perfect line.
Some 80 miles down the coast, another video emerged of the same sight over San Diego.
Again, the lights seemed to hover in a straight line before slowly disappearing one by one.

Another 40 miles south of San Diego, in the Mexican city of Playas de Tijuana, a third video emerged of seven mysterious objects hovering in the same formation.
The collection of videos were shared online by YouTube conspiracy channel The Hidden Underbelly.
He wrote: “These lights seem to appear out of nowhere and were visible for about 15mins before disappearing one by one, leaving the witnesses puzzled and entertained by the aerial display performed by these orbs.”
Viewers flocked to the comments section to voice their thoughts on what they could be.
UFOS, ALIENS AND OUTER SPACE
Some said they also saw the lights, with one writing: “Saw the same thing in Sacramento yesterday.”
Another added: “Whatever these things are, and whoever's in them they must want to be seen.”
One suggestion was that they were simply Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites, which can often be seen in the sky.
While a fourth user suggested they could be military flares.
A similar explanation has been given in the past for UFO sightings but, as the user noted: “Why are people shooting multiple flares up all the time?”
It comes after a number of sightings of "red lights" over the US sent the conspiracy world into a frenzy.
What are these strange red lights in the night sky over Mexico?
What are these strange red lights in the night sky over Mexico?
Unidentified bright, shining red lights over Villahermosa, Mexico, have confused thousands of people. The red lights appeared in the night sky on July 11, 2020 and as beautiful as they were, no one is sure what caused them.
Images credit Twitter accounts links below.
Residents of the small Mexican town managed to capture these elongated lights on their phones and posted the images to Twitter, here, here, here and here in an attempt to discover more information about them.
Since then, the theories have just been flooding in. Officials report that the red lights are sprites, however, this has been disputed numerous times.
Sprites?
According to YouTube channel Willease: Officials from the area have assured everyone that these lights are nothing to worry about and are simply red sprites, a completely natural and harmless occurrence.
Well, this may not be entirely true. Sprites occur dozens of kilometres up in the atmosphere and only last a fraction of a second.
These four mysterious were a mere few hundred meters above the surface of the Earth, far closer than any sprite would be, and lasted a fair while, long enough for amateur photographers to capture them on their smartphones.
It doesn't look like a natural phenomenon.Maybe the red lights are a sign of paranormal activity or could it be a sign that something is going to happen soon?
A nagging problem with planets is that they are just so large: Send a spacecraft to one patch of a planet and inevitably, some of the things you learn will apply only right there.
That struggle is particularly difficult when scientists ponder a planet's atmosphere and weather. By definition, these are global phenomena, and they interact with other global phenomena in intricate ways.
That conundrum is why, despite a rich history of spacecraft observations of Mars, scientists are still puzzling over how the planet's atmosphere really works — from top to bottom, pole to pole, and dawn to dusk and back again.
If all goes well, a mission from a country that's a newcomer to planetary science will soon begin to gather the data scientists need for a truly global understanding of the Martian atmosphere. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to launch its first interplanetary spacecraft, called the Emirates Mars Mission or Hope, on Tuesday (July 14), with liftoff scheduled for 4:51 p.m. EDT (2051 GMT).
Then, the $200 million mission will embark on a seven-month cruise to Mars, slipping into orbit around the Red Planet in early 2021. Hope is scheduled to observe Mars for at least a full Martian year (a bit less than two Earth years) as it works to understand the Martian atmosphere.
If the spacecraft successfully arrives — which the team well knows is a difficult proposition — the UAE will become the fifth or sixth entity to orbit Mars, depending on how the mission's timeline compares with that of China's Tianwen-1 Mars lander, also launching this summer.
Building on the human legacy of Mars exploration
A dozen orbiters have worked at Mars before, and Hope was purposefully designed with an eye to the half-century-long history of spacecraft sent to Mars. Nevertheless, mission personnel wanted to avoid the risk of staying within the limits of what other projects have done.
"We always learn from previous missions," Mariam Al Shamsi, director of the space science department at the UAE's Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center, which runs the Hope mission, told Space.com. "There is no perfect mission, so every mission that comes up learns from the previous missions." In the case of Hope, the mission learned particularly from NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) orbiter, scientists said.
"The science of the mission is very complimentary to other missions that went to Mars," Hessa Al Matroushi, science data and analysis lead for the mission at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center, told Space.com. "But it complements them, it adds more understanding to the gaps that had been shown."
In order to strike that balance, the engineers-turned-scientists leading the mission needed to understand the scope of Mars exploration to date, which meant consulting the Mars science community. After that process, Hope leaders concluded that the atmosphere was the place to focus on to find that sweet spot.
Then, it was on to designing the spacecraft itself.
"You don't want to send two spacecraft that measure the same things, no matter how important they are," Bruce Jakosky, a project scientist on the Hope mission and the principal investigator of MAVEN, told Space.com. "What is new is making measurements that we just didn't realize needed to be made before, and in that sense, it builds on everything that has come before it."
In the case of Hope, mission personnel realized that by using similar instruments to those onboard MAVEN and other spacecraft, but putting the spacecraft into a completely unique orbit, the mission would be able to tackle some crucial questions about the Martian atmosphere.
An atmosphere of Hope
The Hope spacecraft carries three instruments: ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers, plus an imager sensitive to optical and ultraviolet light. Those instruments are packed onto a spacecraft that clocks in at 3,000 lbs. (1,350 kilograms) and will require about seven months to get to Mars, where it will focus on the Red Planet's thin, carbon dioxide-dominated atmosphere.
Although scientists have gotten atmospheric data from a host of spacecraft before, Hope brings something new to the table: it orbits over the planet's equator. "Our uniqueness comes from the orbit," Al Shamsi said. That orbit is what gives the spacecraft its ability to see how conditions in the lower atmosphere change over time on Mars.
"What this mission does is, it provides us a full understanding of the Martian atmosphere throughout the day," Sarah Al Amiri, science lead for the mission and the UAE's minister of state for advanced sciences, said during a news conference held on July 9. "So it covers all regions of Mars at all local times at Mars, and that's a comprehensive understanding that fills in the gap of changes through time through different seasons of Mars throughout an entire year."
But Hope will study the whole atmosphere, not just the lower atmosphere, where weather unfolds. In particular, it will help scientists understand what takes place in a layer called the thermosphere, which lies between the upper and lower atmosphere, about 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 kilometers) up. Here, the gas is influenced by what's happening both near the surface of Mars and in the upper atmosphere.
"The thermosphere, it's kind of the transition point between the upper atmosphere and the lower atmosphere," Fatma Lootah, manager for Hope instrument science, told Space.com. "So it's very interesting to look into what's happening there." In particular, the scientists want Hope's data to help them connect what happens in the upper and lower atmospheres, rather than looking at the layers in isolation.
More science potential
that if the spacecraft beats the odds and successfully makes it to the Red Planet, it will aid plenty of other research as well.
Some of that is built into the mission's primary goals. For example, Hope's orbit will also position the spacecraft to regularly photograph the fuzzy bubble of hydrogen wisping out from the planet. MAVEN spotted that structure as it was arriving, but couldn't image the bubble regularly.
"These pictures, they're very cool to look at," Lootah said. "They're like a glowing kind of halo around the planet. So they're very beautiful to see, and I'm really excited to see these images come through."
Those images could also help scientists understand how Mars is losing its atmosphere. Once, before the Red Planet was quite so red, it had a thick, wet atmosphere like Earth's, but now it's gone. And still, the atmosphere slowly slips away from the planet's gravitational tug, drifting off into space to form that halo.
And, of course, there's the usual fact of science: that even the best scientists can't predict a planet's intricacies. "Every mission, every new instrument we've flown, has discovered things that we didn't know even to ask about," Jakosky said. "You design a mission to make measurements to answer some specific questions, and you design the instruments so that they can make the measurements you're looking to get. With most science missions, and certainly with the Mars missions all the way back to the beginning, I think everybody would be disappointed if that's all we got."
One potential opportunity for those surprise discoveries is from random events like dust storms. "I think also the most exciting thing is when you get something interesting in the data that you didn't expect, and we call them episodic events," Lootah said. "That's very exciting to see, and since it's going to cover a huge amount of the planet, we'll be able to see more episodic events. So that's also something to look forward to."
Even the data that scientists expect to see will end up supporting discoveries beyond the confines of the Hope mission itself, Al Matroushi emphasized, saying that the UAE purposefully decided to make all of Hope's data available to the public for just this reason.
"The mission was developed for our objectives, but the data can be used to answer a lot of science questions," she said. "I would be very pleased and excited to see what kind of science researchers will be able to get out of the data that the mission will provide."
But more than that, the Hope scientists are looking forward simply to being able to work with data from their own spacecraft for the first time after years of practicing on data from other missions and hypothetical data, Lootah said. "I think it's just going to be a surreal feeling.
That's also why the July 14 launch isn't the main event for the team. "I think people are excited for the launch, and we all are," Al Matroushi said. But launch pales in comparison to arrival at Mars in February 2021. "Seeing the first picture from the probe, that would be the most exciting moment, because this is where our work begins."

This visualization of the filaments — huge tendrils of gas — in the cosmic web comes from a simulation produced by the EAGLE project. Much of the universe's "normal" matter may reside in such filaments.
Let's face it: we know almost nothing about the universe. Sure, we've got some things nailed down: we know about the existence of dark matter and dark energy. We know about the Big Bang. We know how galaxies form over the course of billions of years. And most painfully of all, we know that "normal" matter (the kind of matter that makes stars, galaxies, planets and you) is no more than 5% of all the mass and energy in the universe.
And what's worse: We don't really know where half that normal matter is.
First, a quick definition. For the purposes of this conversation, served with a heaping spoonful of human bias, we will call "normal" the matter that makes up familiar, everyday, household items like TVs and furniture and molecular clouds. Astronomers call this "baryonic" matter, because it's mostly made of baryons: protons and neutrons and the like. So, even though baryonic matter is nothing but a bit player in the great game (you could wipe away every single galaxy in the universe and the progress of cosmic history would go on unblinking), we're the most familiar with it, so we call it "normal."
And the very fact that we have a problem counting all the baryons may seem like a bold claim to make: that we know what the universe is made of, even if we can't find it. But we have two giant pieces of evidence that help us count up all the baryons, even when they don't light up for our telescopes.
First — and this is amazing for me to even type — we have a pretty firm grasp of the physics of the universe when it was only a dozen minutes old. At that time, billions of years ago, the universe was small, hot, and dense enough for the first protons and neutrons (read: baryons) to condense from the primordial soup. And since we understand nuclear physics well enough to make power plants and bombs, we can make predictions.
Those predictions tell us how many total baryons ought to exist in the cosmos, along with the ratios of light elements (like helium and lithium) to hydrogen. And since we observe the same ratios that our calculations predict, we have a lot of confidence that those calculations are good enough to put a limit on the baryon population of the universe.
Second, we have the cosmic microwave background, a magnificent source of light from when the universe was a mere 380,000 years old. The light was released just as the universe cooled from being a plasma. And once again, we understand plasma physics well enough to compare the light that we see to the light that we predict, and that tells us about the total number of baryons known to inhabit the cosmos.
In both cases, the numbers agree: 5% of all the mass and energy in the cosmos. That's all the baryons the universe is going to get.
A bunch of baryons wind up compressing down and igniting nuclear fusion, lighting up as stars. And a bunch of those stars end up collecting together into giant cosmic cities: the galaxies. Over here on Earth (which is also made of baryons), we have a pretty straightforward time counting up all the stars and galaxies in the universe, because they're relatively bright and spotting them is exactly what we make telescopes to do.
Beyond that, we have a few other tricks for counting baryons. We can look at light that has passed through billions of light-years of scattered gas. The gas itself is too thin to see, but it will absorb some of that background light, allowing us to estimate how many baryons are just hanging out in giant gas clouds.
Going even further, we can look for the subtle bending of background light to look for dim, compact objects: things like black holes or rogue planets, which are also made of baryons but just not very bright.
All told, we're able to account for about half the known baryons in the universe, which is a bit of an embarrassing state of affairs.
Looking in the cosmic couch cushions
One possible solution to this cosmic quandary is that the baryons are somewhere out there, not lighting up as stars, not compact enough to make gravitational lenses, and not dense enough to absorb background light. The missing baryons could just be … floating around, minding their own business, not really associated with any particularly interesting object.
And in the larger universe, when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the galaxies, you go to the filaments — long, thin tendrils of gas that connect galaxies to their neighbors, like long stretches of empty highways between cities.
We know of the existence of these filaments through computer simulations, but measuring them is much harder, since they're so thin and feeble.
But recent techniques are starting to open them up. If the gas in the filaments is hot enough, then the light from the cosmic microwave background will energize as it passes through, creating a hot spot in our microwave imaging known as the Sunyeav-Zeldovich effect. The effect for each individual filament is super-small and almost impossible to measure, but by stacking up hundreds of filaments and superimposing them on top of each other, it's enough to build up a clear signal.
And that's what we're beginning to find: about half the baryons in our universe eschew big-city living, and prefer to live in the sleepy rural stretches between them.

"Being adventurous and being explorers is in our nature."
NASA astronaut Stephanie Wilson is ready and excited for the future of space exploration.
Earlier this year (before the COVID-19 pandemic) Space.com met up with NASA astronaut Stephanie Wilson, a veteran of three spaceflights who has logged more than 42 days in space, at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, New York.
Wilson, who is one of 17 NASA astronauts eligible to become the first woman to step foot on the moon in 2024 as part of NASA's Artemis program, shared her thoughts on the future of space exploration and her advice for new explorers dreaming of joining the Artemis generation.
With regard to her lunar prospects, Wilson said, "I am of course excited to be included among the group and look forward to whoever the first woman is and the women who follow as part of the Artemis program to continue our studies of the moon, continue to descend down to the surface in a lander and hopefully to build a lunar base there on the moon and continue our journey from the Gateway orbiting laboratory."
The "Gateway," Wilson refers to the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, a proposed NASA program that would orbit around the moon and allow astronauts to more easily travel back and forth from the lunar surface.
She added that the fact that Artemis explicitly includes women is "a wonderful testament to the progress that women have made" in human spaceflight since women were first allowed to apply to the astronaut corps in 1978.
Wilson elaborated, diving into the earlier days of her 24-year astronaut career and how life for women at NASA has changed over the years.
"I was very fortunate to have been able to study engineering and to find my way to NASA, to join the NASA astronaut class of 1996," Wilson said. "Over that period of my career, I have seen increased opportunities for women. We now have women working in the mission control center, working as flight directors."
The next generation
As a role model for young people looking to grow up and become astronauts like her, Wilson shared a few pieces of advice.
For young women looking to follow in her footsteps, Wilson said, "there are many opportunities now for women in STEM [science, technology, engineering and math], so I encourage these young girls to study hard. If math and science is their interest then they can certainly find their way to NASA for a career," she said.
She added that astronaut hopefuls looking to go "the civilian route" (as opposed to astronauts who come from the military) have to have bachelor's degrees in STEM. "And as far as qualities or traits for the Artemis generation," she added, astronauts have to have what NASA calls "expeditionary skills."
"Very similar to the space station generation, we're looking for people that are adaptable, that are able to work well in a team," Wilson said. She added that astronauts have to be able to transition well between being leaders and followers and additionally "make good decisions quickly and efficiently in an emergency situation or in a situation where resources are limited." Astronauts have to be able "to lead themselves and their teams to a successful and safe outcome," she said.
Exploring the great unknown
So, why do people want to become astronauts? Why does our species want to explore the cosmos so badly?
According to Wilson, "being adventurous and being explorers is in our nature. It's in the history of how we've developed Earth and so that naturally continues to the space frontier."
"But," she added, "we also learn a great deal about ourselves, and we're able to bring that technology back to earth." She referenced all of the research that takes place on the International Space Station in fields including physical sciences, material sciences and medicine. Wilson added space-based research can greatly improve our lives as well as advance the technologies that we have here on Earth.

Just as the Moon creates tides, it also moves the atmosphere along with Sun’s influence.
The Earth is making ‘music’ with vibrations that explode like the ringing of a bell, according to a new study published in the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences.
These atmospheric waves of music are moving across the globe at speeds faster than 1,000 kilometres per hour.
Scientists analysed more than 332,880 hours of the planet’s atmospheric movements to find the rhythm they were looking for.
Understanding how the Earth makes its ‘music’ could lead to more accurate weather forecasting in the future.
The Earth is marching to beat of its own drum as large scale waves of atmospheric pressure move across the globe and travel around the equator. Some go east-to-west while others move west-to-east.
Each of these waves is moving across the planet faster than 1,000 kilometres per hour.
The Earth’s musical tones are not conventional. We can’t hear them but the fact that the planet’s entire atmosphere vibrates in an analogous fashion was theorised for centuries, but it has now been confirmed by the scientists at the University of Hawaii.
“Our identification of so many modes in real data shows that the atmosphere is indeed ringing like a bell,” said Kevin Hamilton, one of the co-authors of the study published in Journal of Atmospheric Sciences.
A better understanding of Earth’s music means a better understanding of its climate to improve weather prediction models in the future.µ
The Earth and its rhythm
We may not hear the Earth’s music but each of the waves travelling across the globe is a resonant vibration of the global atmosphere — just like the sounds that are produced when a bell is rung.
"For these rapidly moving wave modes, our observed frequencies and global patterns match those theoretically predicted very well," explained Takatoshi Sakazaki, the lead author of the paper.
In order to prove these wave patterns, the scientists have furnished a detailed description of observed atmospheric pressure over the globe every hour for the last 38 years. That’s 332,880 hours of the Earth’s music being recorded in the atmospheric reanalysis dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) — ERA5.
What's the Moon got to do with it?
Just as the Moon tugs at our planet's seas to create tidal waves in the ocean, it also pulls at our atmosphere along with the Sun, creating waves in the sky.
The only difference is that these atmospheric waves don't slosh around the same way ocean waves do. But if you know what to look for, you can see them in moving pockets of more tightly packed air, which are thousands of kilometres long.
The scientists identified some of the wave sets as Rossby waves powered by inertia and others Kelvin wave — ones that balance the Earth's Coriolis force against a topographic boundary such as a coastline.
Going forward, the team of researchers plan to study these waves further in order to figure out what excites them or what makes them go silent.
If you’re into the subject of Ufology, you’ll know of the “missing time” phenomenon that is reported by so many alien abductees. People recall being taken from their homes and cars in the dead of night and transferred to a UFO, at which point they are subjected to distressing, sometimes painful, and intrusive experiments. Those same experiments are undertaken by those small, black-eyed, large-headed creatures known as the Grays. As for that issue concerning missing time, in almost every alien abduction case on file, the victims come to realize that a significant number of hours were wiped from their minds during the encounter. On some occasions, the whole story can be found via hypnosis (which is not necessarily a good thing, as in some cases its clear that the hypnotist has led the victim, whether deliberately or not). On other occasions the memories come back bit by bit. And there are those cases when the missing time stays missing – forever. There is, however, another aspect to this matter of stolen hours. It revolves around the wiping of memories by what may be supernatural entities, but when there is no abduction and no experiment. These cases involve not the Grays, but the Men in Black, the Women in Black, and the Black-Eyed Children.
Katy Mason is someone who I interviewed extensively in Shreveport, Louisiana back in October 2017. She had a fascinating, but stressful, story to tell. In the early hours of the morning, and two months earlier, Katy had seen a UFO in the sky while she was driving home from the diner she worked at. It was ball-shaped, about twenty-feet in diameter, and bright pink in color. Katy was amazed by the sight and slowed down her car on the largely empty road. It was seen for barely ten or fifteen seconds, but that was enough for Katy to know what she saw: a UFO. She drove home – somewhat shaky and excited – went to bed, and that was it. At least, it was until the next morning. There was a knock on the door around 9:45 a.m. It jolted Katy from her sleep, as she hadn’t got home until around 2:30 a.m.
Katy opened the door to the sight of nothing less than a Man in Black. We’re talking about the type of MIB that John Keel wrote about in (largely) the 1960s and the 1970s: the creepy-looking, scrawny, pale MIBs that have zero to do with the government. They’re way weirder than that. Like so many people who see the MIB, Katy opened the door and let the MIB in – something that most people would never do under normal circumstances. Here’s where things get strange. Katy can only remember certain aspects of the grilling that the MIB gave her. She can remember “inviting” the Man in Black into her duplex. But, she cannot remember how he left. She knows she was threatened by the black-garbed thing, but can’t recall what the threat actually was. And, when the MIB left – and Katy’s mind started to come back to normal – she saw two of her coffee mugs on the living-room table, but she had zero recall of making the coffee.
I have a somewhat similar story to Katy’s. This one involves a man named Paul Farrant and a Woman in Black. Paul is someone who I met in the U.K. back in the summer of 1997. At the time, Paul spent ten days checking out the Crop Circles that had appeared during that summer in the county of Wiltshire, England – which is where most of the formations are made on a yearly basis. I was there for two weeks, with Irene Bott of the Staffordshire UFO Group, and gave a few lectures in the area at the same time, which is how I got to know Paul. He too had a story that involved missing time, but – just like Katy – not at all of the type associated with alien abductions. Paul told me that he had been walking around one of the formations just as the sun was starting to rise when a woman appeared – seemingly out of nowhere. She was dressed in a long black cape that had a black hood. Paul said her skin was extremely pale and her face was very thin. She engaged him in what seemed to be a very short conversation, warning him not to dig too deep into the subject. The Woman in Black then turned and exited the huge and intricate formation. For reasons that he was unable to understand, Paul felt both nauseous and frightened. Here’s the strangest part of the story: Paul found himself quite confused, due to the fact that although it seemed to have been a brief encounter, when he checked he realized there was far more to it. According to his watch, close to three-quarters-of-an-hour were missing from Paul’s memory. And, although the woman had something to say to Paul of a warning nature, he couldn’t remember exactly what he said in response to her. It puzzled, and worried, him for weeks.
Now, let’s take a look at the Black Eyed Children. Although, today, we have people who claim to have seen the BEC in the period from the 1930s to the present day, the very first reported case didn’t surface until the 1990s. The location was the Lone Star State, specifically the city of Abilene. The story revolves around a man named Brian Bethel, a journalist on the Abilene Reporter News. It was late one night when Bethel’s life was changed and he came to realize that there are dangerous, supernatural entities in our midst. A phenomenon was born. I have a number of cases on file in which – just like Katy and just like Paul – the witnesses to the Black Eyed Children can’t recall exactly what happened during their encounter with the BEC. As an example, in one case, the victim was completely unable to remember how the Black Eyed Child got in the house – only that he had. In another case, the witness found her short-term memory severely affected for more than two weeks after she encountered one of these creepy kids.
Are these just random, occasional cases? Or, is there far more to the matter of missing time than we realize? Just perhaps, this phenomenon is more prevalent than it seems to be, even when there’s no UFO in sight. The fact that memories are being erased makes me think the people involved largely stay quiet because they cannot provide us with a fully coherent account. The result? They mainly stay quiet.
The Dylatov Pass incident has more theories, explanations and excuse than a lost election, but none have ever plugged all of the holes in the sieve that started with the disappearance in February 1959 of nine healthy young Russian hikers on a skiing expedition across the northern Urals in Sverdlovsk Oblast during the Cold War heyday of the Soviet Union. The lack of visible concrete evidence of what happened, the strange ways they each died and the mysterious disarray of the campsite spawned investigations, theories of the UFO, Yeti, weather, criminal and conspiracy kind, and countless books and TV shows … but no answers. Now, an exhaustive investigation by the Russian government has reached what it says is a concrete conclusion. They say the cause of the deaths of the Dyatlov Pass nine was …
“It was a heroic struggle. There was no panic. But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances.”
First, a few hints from Andrey Kutyakov, the deputy head of Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office branch in the Urals which has been conducting an intense investigation since February 2019. “Heroic struggle.” “No panic.” “No chance to save themselves under the circumstances.” What kind of circumstances would cause experienced hikers and skiers to put up a struggle, yet not panic in circumstances that were fatal?
“[The dead tourists’] injuries are characteristic for the injuries of rock climbers caught in an avalanche.”
TASS, Reuters and other media sites reported on the conclusion of Kutyakov and the General Prosecutor’s Office announced via the RIA news agency. Avalanche. The biggest clue was the injuries.
“If we take a [tennis] ball, create surrounding pressure and push from above, it will break not where the force is applied, but on the opposite side. Correspondingly, if the snow presses everywhere from above (three or four meters of snow, that is approximately half a tonne of snow), then the injury should be on the opposite side. Hence, everybody had them on the opposite side.”
According to the investigation, the group was surprised and quickly covered and crushed, in some cases crushed to death, by the avalanche. The rest were forced to quickly cut their way out of their tents wearing what they had been sleeping in – which explains the strange combinations of clothing (and lack of clothing) their bodies were found in. They managed to stay together to climb to the protection of a nearby ridge 50 meters (165 feet) away (a smart move) but then made the mistake of attempting to return to their tents in a blinding blizzard.
“They started walking down the mountain, made a fire and then attempted to get back to the tent, but froze to death, because the temperature was minus 40-45 degrees Celsius (minus 40-49 F).”
That explains why the bodies were found scattered around the campsite – especially the four that weren’t found until two months later.
Disappointed it’s not UFOs, Yeti, a secret nuclear test or something more exotic and mysterious? Disbelieving because it’s an investigation by a government that is probably tired of answering questions about an incident that happened 61 years ago? You’re probably not alone and this is probably not the last search for the cause of the Dylatov Pass incident despite this one’s official conclusion.
“But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances.”
When it comes to theories about the Dylatov Pass incident, neither do we.

On Monday, March 01, 1999, the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) received a call over its telephone Hotline (206-722-3000) from an individual who identified himself as an employee in the forestry industry in Washington State. The individual left a message, in which he reported that a team of forestry workers allegedly had been witness to an incident on Thursday, February 25, 1999, during which time an elk was lifted off the ground and carried away by a very peculiar, disc-shaped object. [*Click here to hear an excerpt from the hotline recording.]
Peter B. Davenport, Director of NUFORC, contacted several of the individuals whose names and telephone numbers had been provided by the first contact. Based on those telephone conversations, he elected to initiate a preliminary investigation of the incident.
Because NUFORC traditionally does not serve as an investigative body, Mr. Davenport contacted Mr. Robert A. Fairfax, Director of Investigations for the Washington State Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, which does conduct investigations of alleged UFO sightings. Messrs. Davenport and Fairfax traveled to the location of the alleged incident, and jointly have been conducting an investigation of this elk abduction case since Friday, March 05.
Their investigation to date has included a trip to the site of the incident, an interview of three of the alleged fourteen witnesses to the actual abduction, and several conversations with individuals who work with the eyewitnesses. In addition, the investigators inspected the carcass of an adult elk, a pregnant cow, which was found dead beside a logging road on March 01 by other forestry employees within a few miles of the principal event.
The investigation and collection of facts surrounding the case will continue. This preliminary summary of their findings to date is submitted jointly by Messrs. Davenport and Fairfax.

The Washington State Elk Abduction February 25, 1999 11:58 A.M.
On this winter morning, fourteen forestry workers, employees of a large, unnamed company, were planting trees in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State about 20 miles west of Mt. St. Helens. Three of the men had been watching a nearby herd of elk in the valley below them all morning. Suddenly, a heel-shaped object with two stripes on its back appeared over a nearby ridge and began drifting in a northeast direction. Initially, the three men thought it was something like a parachute, but it maintained a steady altitude, following the contours of the terrain below it.
As the object began to move toward the herd of elk, the three men called out to the other eleven members of the work crew. All fourteen men stood on the hillside and watched as the object floated down into the valley towards the elk.
The silent object was able to get quite near the elk before the animals noticed it. When they did notice it, most of the herd ran to the east, toward a densely wooded area. One elk, though, trotted off toward the north, down a logging road. It was to this lone elk that the object flew. The amazed workers watched as the object floated above the elk and then appeared to lift the elk off the ground with some sort of invisible force. The object then moved off, with the elk slowly rotating beneath it. It moved up the ridge, barely clearing the trees, and then down into the next valley, out of sight of the forestry workers. After a few minutes, the object then reappeared, apparently without the elk, and rose at high speed until it disappeared into the sky.
The case was reported to NUFORC, and Peter Davenport of NUFORC and Robert Fairfax of MUFON Washington traveled to the site and interviewed the witnesses. For their report go to NUFORC. They also examined the body of a female elk that was found to the north of the site. It could not be determined if this was the same elk. Many of the witnesses had been with the company for years and they were generally deemed to be reliable.
MUFON REPORT
On February 25, 1999 three forestry workers in the Mt. St. Helens area of Washington State witnessed a daytime elk abduction. The preliminary report appeared in the MUFON UFO Journal of May 1999. The follow-up investigation reveals additional details and corrects inaccuracies. For purposes of confidentiality, all witness names are pseudonyms.
The preliminary investigation:
On a cold March afternoon with fresh snow up to their boot tops and a rolling valley before them, Peter Davenport (Director, National UFO Reporting Center) and Robert Fairfax (MUFON investigator) stood contemplating the account of an extraordinary event. Also at the edge of the bank stood Jack (landowner’s representative) recounting details-albeit secondhand – of”the incident witnessed by members of a crew of Hispanic forestry workers: a daytime elk abduction. As it turned out, Jack did not have all the particulars of the elk abduction correct, but we were not to find that out until much later. The 14 forestry workers could not plant seedling trees the Friday we arrived on site because ten inches of snow had fallen the previous night; therefore the crew had been given the day off. Hastily, an interview was arranged, through their employer, with three of the witnesses that same afternoon.
However, circumstances were not conducive to obtaining an accurate and detailed report. The meeting took place in a deserted parking lot of a wayside cafe. The cacophony of rushing traffic saturated the background, creating additional handicaps, since none of the three witnesses spoke more than a smidgen of English. Add to this picture a chill to the air, a limited time before sunset, and the requirement of telling the story through their boss, Emanuel, as interpreter to get an idea of the situation. So here we were, seven of us, standing around the tailgate of a pickup truck for an extemporaneous investigation. Conducting separate interviews was not a viable option. Even though group interviewing conflicts with traditional investigative practice, we perceived little choice in the matter-we needed to take advantage of this opportunity. Fully aware of the pitfalls this method of investigation presented, we made sure we scrutinized the group dynamics. As far as we could tell, each held to a personal version without acquiescing to group decision or falling under another’s influence. We were aware the participants had discussed the events among themselves extensively.
Emanuel’s efforts at translating were laudable, but he was neither a trained investigator nor interpreter. He had not been present during the abduction, and the event floated somewhere outside his compass of understanding. This presented a challenge, since we were unable to understand for ourselves what the witnesses were saying. Compounding these difficulties, Emanuel seemed reserved in his translations. We knew he believed something strange had happened to his workers; however, we also suspected he was not ready to believe anything as exotic as an alien craft snatching up an elk. The testimony waxed expansive and waned timid by turns-torn between the need to tell their story and the anxiety of raised eyebrows at the outrageousness of the tale they told. We struggled with the narrative for 35 minutes. There were innumerable questions yet to ask, but the hour grew late and signals via body language suggested we close the interview and bid farewell. Though crippled by the language barrier, our initial interview provided a tentative and skeletal picture of the event. We wanted to schedule individual interviews for the upcoming week, but were told that the witnesses would be too busy planting trees for the next few weeks-an apparent conspiracy of wet weather and time of year.
Our wait was to last 57 days. Weighing on our minds during this time-out was the knowledge that the ponderous passage of time truncates a witness’ sharp recollection of details-the blur factor. In the meantime we searched for another translator. Finding no suitable candidate in Washington, our eyes turned south to California where we knew an ideal interpreter resided. Ruben Uriarte, MUFON’s State Director for Northern California, was the answer to our problem: he not only speaks fluent Spanish, but also excels in investigation. Could we recruit him and persuade him to fly to Washington and give us a hand? The answer was an enthusiastic “yes.”
The follow-up investigation:
Ruben began immediately by phoning Emanuel and coaxing the witnesses’ phone numbers out of proprietary insularity. Then, over the next few days he arranged a meeting with several of the witnesses at one of the worker’s home. Prior to Ruben’s involvement in the case, another Washington MUFON investigator, Kathleen Andersen, joined the team. Kathleen began by cross checking other UFO events in the Mt. St. Helens area, seeking correlation and commonalities. She found cases, but no matches. An early gray Seattle morning on the first Saturday of May found Kathleen packing her Jeep with food, with equipment, and with two investigators—Ruben and Robert. We headed south. When we arrived at the designated house, the scene was a bit awkward at first, due to a small crowd that included friends and relatives milling about. The witnesses were not quite sure if they wanted to be interviewed. Fortunately, Ruben has the gift of setting people at ease, and within a short time the witnesses began talking. We were able to interview the witnesses both individually and together as a group. Later that afternoon, seven of us jumped into two vehicles and drove to the remote site in the foothills where the abduction had taken place. After 9 1/2 hours of investigation, we discovered that the preliminary report (as reported in MUFON UFO JOURNAL of March, 1999) needed amendment.
The incident:
Shortly before noon on the last Thursday of February, 1999, fourteen forestry workers had just broken for lunch and were heading for the crew vehicle. Francisco and Augustine were nearly at the turnout (1900 ft. elevation), Manuel and two others were walking up the slope (about 1600 ft. elevation) from an old overgrown access road, while the rest of the crew was scattered, most midway between the two groups on the north-facing hillside. Francisco stopped to rest momentarily and watched the 14 elk of a herd that had been browsing all morning on a nearby slope northeast of them.
Then, out of the northeast, he spotted a strange moving object. The UFO, presumably, had already dropped some 70 feet down the height of the Douglas Fir trees bordering the dirt road and was now drifting over a hilltop. Skimming the clear-cut at brush top level and hugging the contour of the hill, the UFO appeared to be heading slowly toward the herd of elk. The object’s initial location was approximately 800 yards distant and 200 ft. lower in elevation than Francisco’s location. At first Francisco mistook it for a bi-colored paraglider silently drifting in for a landing. The object had a strange, slow wobble. It showed red on the right half, white on the left. Francisco quickly realized that he was not seeing any type of parachute.
The object advanced toward the elk herd, staying close to the ground as if in a “stealth mode.” When the elk became aware of the object, they bolted. Most tried running up the slope to the east, but the going was slow. A lone elk separated from the herd and headed north. The craft targeted the loner and moved in. Surprised and astounded, Francisco shouted to Augustine, “Look at that! Look at that!” The clear-cut terrain prevented rapid movement for the animals: innumerable small deciduous trees had trunks cut about 18″ above the ground, transforming them into sharp stakes pointing skyward. The trunks, bristling with branches, lay helter-skelter, presenting criss-crossing barricades. The lone animal could not run fast. The wobbling craft, moving no faster than between 5 and 7 mph (est.), easily overtook it.
Augustine had missed the pursuit but caught sight of the UFO as it took the elk. Down-slope, Manuel (crew supervisor) also witnessed the capture-500 yards distant. Nearly every other person’s attention had been diverted toward the main group of fleeing animals. The craft moved directly above the female elk and somehow lifted it into the air without any visible means of support evident to the observers. At this point, the animal ceased discernible movement-no kicking legs, no struggling body, and no indication of consciousness. The witnesses were amazed that the craft could lift the 500-pound animal. The “wing span” of the object measured not much longer than the length of the elk-about 7 to 8 feet. (The increase in size attributed to the craft in the earlier report seems to have been an illusion caused by a change in the craft’s angle of tilt over the terrain at the point of capture.)
The captured elk, its head apparently against the ventral surface of the craft, and body standing stiffly upright, was lifted off the ground-just enough to clear the underbrush. The craft continued its slow, wobbling oscillation. The suspended elk moved likewise as if she were a solid metal sculpture welded to the craft. After the craft acquired (without pause) the animal, it moved away at the same slow pace, to the north, following the contour of the land. The elk’s feet were observed sweeping circles, in conjunction with the craft’s movement, just above the brush and tree tops. Within a short time the craft approached the forest edge that defined the end of the clear-cut area. Apparently the craft did not stop or maneuver in time to avoid hitting some of the lower branches. Because of the considerable distance of the craft, the witnesses could not discern exactly what had hit the trees-whether the craft, the elk, or something else is unknown.
After hitting the branches, the witnesses saw it dip sharply and reverse direction before ascending vertically in front of the tree line. All three had the impression that the object had almost dropped the animal. Once above the tree top level, it moved over the forest margin and continued northward, dipped out of sight momentarily (perhaps still following the contour line of tree tops), then ascended at roughly a 45-degree angle into the distance until it was obscured by clouds. Meanwhile, the rest of the herd had gathered into a tight huddle near the tree line, a normal behavior when a predatory threat is perceived. This herd consisted of cows and yearlings. The bulls at this time of year stay in bachelor groups at a higher elevation. The huddle lasted for two hours.
Reactions and emotions:
The witnesses shared their story among themselves at lunch. Several of the workers that had not sighted the craft expressed doubt that anything extraordinary had happened. Nevertheless, the reactions of both the elk and the excited co-workers evoked fear, generating a tense emotional atmosphere. The humans, analogous to the elk’s behavior, consciously stayed in close proximity for the rest of the afternoon. Even those that doubted the story knew something had happened and were not comfortable working far from the rest. Some, perhaps because of limited beliefs imposed by philosophical predisposition, clung to a tightly fenced world – trying to force all that they had heard into some familiar pattern, consistent with their reality. These were the fellows that had directed jokes and gibes at Francisco in particular. These skeptics continued planting seedling trees throughout the afternoon in a normal manner. This was in sharp contrast to those workers who feared a return of the object-they planted with heads continually swiveling skyward.
Craft Details:
Curiously, the witnesses were unable to agree on all the structural details of the craft. No one person had a complete description. Generally, all agreed on the length of the “wing span” (7-8 ft.) because they could compare it to the elk suspended beneath. Augustine perceived the relative depth to length, which measured out to 14 -18 inches. Manuel had the clearest perception of the width to length (5-6 feet) and the rear indentation. All agreed that the UFO intermittently showed a red and a white patch on the surface. Francisco was sure it was a part of the craft’s skin, but Augustine thought they were lights, and Manuel could not tell either way. They were unanimous that the red was dull (comparable to red pencil on a heavy textured paper), without luminescence, and that the white reflected like bright enamel paint. They were in agreement that red was on the right, white on the left, yet size, shape and position of the colors was not precisely known.
The craft’s wobble caused the red and white to show intermittently. (See illustration of oscillation cycle: the top surface orients toward the observer for approximately one half of the wave revolution period.) The craft’s color, other than the red and white areas, was described as gray. There were no reflections or surface characteristics that suggested the surface was metallic (note: it was an overcast day.). The trio described the craft’s complex motion primarily through hand movements. As close as can be determined, the UFO had an oscillatory period of about 2 to 2 1/2 seconds. This particular motion-apart from the object’s forward motion-is difficult to describe except in terms of analogy. Peter described the motion as similar to that of a spinning coin as it is winding down and closely approaching a flat surface. Francisco expressed regret that he had not taken time to carefully examine the details of the craft. He had been astounded and felt so much concern for the elk that his attention was focused on watching the animal. He realized immediately that if the object could carry off a 500-pound animal, it could easily abduct a per-son-a frightening notion that several members of the group later shared.
Puzzling Question:
The craft’s estimated speed (“I could walk as fast as it moved.”-i.e. approximately 5-7 mph) closely matches the estimated duration (3-5 min.) required for the observed distance traveled, as measured on a topographical map. With such a long sighting duration, an important question looms: “Why didn’t more people see the craft with an elk suspended under it?” A number of reasons appear to answer this:
When Francisco excitedly announced and pointed out the event, only Augustine was near enough to discern that the direction of his index finger pointed left of the herd. 14 panic-stricken elk, all weaving their way up slope, presented a sight that would be apt to draw a person’s attention.
Not everyone heard Francisco shout, and the other witnesses remained quiet.
Within a very short time, the craft and herd (both moving away from each other) had separated enough that when bystanders visually searched for an assumed predator, such as a mountain lion, they did not scrutinize terrain far enough away from the herd to see the craft. They also spent time checking the immediate area around themselves for dangerous animals.
All three witnesses to the craft were so astounded and absorbed with watching the UFO that at the time they did not think to question other spectators as to what they were watching.
Aftermath:
Most of the workers have developed a sudden interest in UFOs following this incident. Some related that their spouses did not believe the story. A few are nervous when working in the forest, especially when in the general area of the incident-they constantly search the sky. Francisco could not understand what he saw, and spent several sleepless nights pondering whether the object was some type of prehistoric animal or an extraterrestrial craft. All want answers.
An update to this case appeared in Filer’s Files #12-1999. Mr. Filer contacted Mr. Robert A. Fairfax to see if he had more details on the case. Part of Mr. Fairfax’s response follows:
Filer: “I am particularly interested in the description of the craft itself.”
Fairfax: “So am I; this is one of the areas we will try and nail. There were two flashes described as the craft wobbled. A fluorescent magenta (top) and a white (bottom). These were apparently not lights but seemed to be areas on the surface. They were seen intermittently but again we will need to pin the details down along with many others.”
Filer: “What was the direction of flight and the last known direction of travel?”
Fairfax: “It was first seen in the SE traveling toward the NNW. It departed slowly to the NE, and then made a near vertical ascent into cloud cover.”
Filer: “Did they notice any kind of plasma, lighting, or electrical effects around the craft?”
Fairfax: “Possibly, the two bright color areas. The craft seemed to increase in size as it was capturing the elk. We’re trying to clarify that.”
Filer: “Did the craft tilt as it changed direction?”
Fairfax: “Wobbling was reported that was more pronounced before direction changes, but we need to verify with more witnesses.
Filer” “Did they notice a hum or sound?”
Fairfax: “There was no sound.
Filer: “Did you notice the height of the trees or the approximate height and distance from picking up the elk to the top of the trees?”
Fairfax: “Yes, but no precise calculations have been done. It had plenty of room to maneuver and climb.”
There has been much written of on alien abductions and the people who have had to endure them. It is a phenomenon that has really taken off and become its own strange corner of the world of the weird, and such cases continue to generate debate and discussion. Yet, it is not always just people who seem to be the target of such otherworldly entities. Here we will look at the strange case of the time an elk was plucked off the ground to be whisked off by a UFO right in full view of a group of witnesses.
According to the original report logged by the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and followed up by UFO researchers Peter B. Davenport, Director of NUFORC and Robert Fairfax, Director of Investigations for the Washington State Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), on February 25, 1999, it all began with a group of forestry workers out at the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, about 20 miles west of Mt. St. Helens. On this day their mission was to plant trees. It was a cold winter morning, their breath frosting the air, and as they took a lunch break at one point just before noon, some of the workers had their attention diverted to a herd of elk in the valley below them. For this area it was not a particularly unusual sight, but things would quickly get very odd indeed.
As the workers watched the animals go about their business, the men noticed something odd come drifting up over the distant ridge, which was described as “a heel-shaped object with two stripes on its back.” They at first thought it was just perhaps a parachute of a skydiver, but whatever it was soon proved to be keeping at a steady height and travelling along horizontally over the terrain, seemingly headed straight towards those elk. This was curious enough that the three workers called over the others to see what they thought, and all of them watched this strange object drift along the terrain completely silently towards the elk herd, which did not seem to be aware of its presence. They could now see that whatever the object was, it was disc-shaped, and perhaps 8 to 10 feet in diameter, and with red and a white patch on the surface. None of them could figure out what they were looking at, and watched it with a combination of surprise and curiosity.
When the herd of elk did become aware of the mystery object approaching them, they scattered and bolted to run into the trees, and in the pandemonium one lone animal ran off down a logging road. The object allegedly pursued this single animal, moving in a sort of odd wobbly way, and as the shocked workers looked on it then seemed to somehow levitate the elk off of the ground with some sort of tractor beam as it appeared to somehow increase in size. After this, the UFO shot off towards a distant ridge with the animal apparently still dangling within that unseen invisible force beneath it, oddly not kicking or struggling, and seeming to be as if an insect caught in amber. The UFO then disappeared behind the ridge, only to go shooting up into the sky moments later without the elk. The investigators of the case would describe this series of events thusly:
The captured elk, its head apparently against the ventral surface of the craft, and body standing stiffly upright, was lifted off the ground-just enough to clear the underbrush. The craft continued its slow, wobbling oscillation. The suspended elk moved likewise as if she were a solid metal sculpture welded to the craft. After the craft acquired (without pause) the animal, it moved away at the same slow pace, to the north, following the contour of the land. The elk’s feet were observed sweeping circles, in conjunction with the craft’s movement, just above the brush and tree tops. Within a short time, the craft approached the forest edge that defined the end of the clear-cut area. Apparently, the craft did not stop or maneuver in time to avoid hitting some of the lower branches. Because of the considerable distance of the craft, the witnesses could not discern exactly what had hit the trees-whether the craft, the elk, or something else is unknown.
After hitting the branches, the witnesses saw it dip sharply and reverse direction before ascending vertically in front of the tree line. All three had the impression that the object had almost dropped the animal. Once above the tree top level, it moved over the forest margin and continued northward, dipped out of sight momentarily (perhaps still following the contour line of tree tops), then ascended at roughly a 45-degree angle into the distance until it was obscured by clouds.
When the report was logged and Davenport and Fairfax went to investigate, they interviewed several of the witnesses and deemed them to be reliable people who seemed to really believe what they had seen. During the investigation there was even an elk carcass found along a logging road to the north of the site, and although the cause of death could not be ascertained, it was unknown if this was the same animal that had been mysteriously “abducted.” Unfortunately, most of the interviewing was done with workers who were not fluent in English, and so was done through their boss, a man named Emanuel, who happened to be skeptical and reticent about the whole thing, and the investigators would lament:
Emanuel’s efforts at translating were laudable, but he was neither a trained investigator nor interpreter. He had not been present during the abduction, and the event floated somewhere outside his compass of understanding. This presented a challenge, since we were unable to understand for ourselves what the witnesses were saying. Compounding these difficulties, Emanuel seemed reserved in his translations. We knew he believed something strange had happened to his workers; however, we also suspected he was not ready to believe anything as exotic as an alien craft snatching up an elk. The testimony waxed expansive and waned timid by turns-torn between the need to tell their story and the anxiety of raised eyebrows at the outrageousness of the tale they told. We struggled with the narrative for 35 minutes. There were innumerable questions yet to ask, but the hour grew late and signals via body language suggested we close the interview and bid farewell. Though crippled by the language barrier, our initial interview provided a tentative and skeletal picture of the event.
It is worth noting that many of the witnesses were very reluctant to talk about it any further, and it leaves us wondering just what to think of all of this. What was going on here? Why would this UFO want to go after that animal? Was there some purpose to all of this, and can we ever hope to understand it? Or was it just a tall tale told by these workers to liven up a slow day? No one really knows, and it is a very odd abduction report to throw on the pile with all of the others.

En ondertussen gebeuren er ook andere dingen
En ondertussen gebeuren er ook andere dingen
Onlangs publiceerden wij een aantal artikelen met daarin vreemde paars/roodachte luchten en vreemde regenbogen.
Op zich zijn regenbogen en ook dubbele regenbogen een natuurlijk verschijnsel, maar met de vreemd gekleurde luchten ligt het iets anders.
Misschien is alles wat er nu gebeurt rondom de coronahoax die de wereld in haar grip houdt wel een afleiding om ons bezig te houden, omdat wij nu nauwelijks tijd hebben om op andere zaken te letten.
Want, er gebeuren ook andere dingen, afgezien van corona, en onlangs hebben wij aandacht besteed aan vreemde luchten die zich overal voordeden. Hier een klein stukje uit één van die eerdere artikelen:
Donderdagavond werd er volgens een lezer op diverse plaatsten in Amerika hele vreemde luchten waargenomen. Oranje luchten, of misschien beter gezegd, perzikkleurige luchten met daarin een soort cirkel.
That same orange light was seen all over the US as well. Over here it was like the entire sky was a strange peach color. I heard some people talking about an eclipse. But the thing is, I can't find any information about it at all.
De volgende foto is genomen in South Carolina.
Een zelfde vreemde cirkel vinden we ook terug in Birmingham, waar wel héél spectaculaire beelden werden gemaakt. Wij kregen deze opgestuurd van een lezer (dank!).
Het begint als een naderend onweer en langzaam maar zeker vormt zich een vreemde cirkelvormige wolk waar op een gegeven moment een ufo uit tevoorschijn komt. (rechts boven in beeld).
Deze en meerdere hebben we gezien op zondag in oost vlaanderen, België. We voelden direct dat het een dimensiepoort is
Volgens een nieuwsbrief van Planet X onderzoeker Nancy Lieder is er een reden dat deze luchten overal ter wereld een vreemde kleur vertonen. Zij zegt dat de vreemde regenboogverschijnselen zoals die in Birmingham te zien waren niets nieuws zijn, maar wel de kleur van de luchten zoals die nu overal wordt waargenomen.
Waar we hier mee te maken hebben volgens de nieuwsbrief is rode stof zoals die wordt veroorzaakt door de staart zoals die als het ware achter de planeet Nibiru aansleept. In een eerder artikel schreven wij hier het volgende over:
Zo schreef zij met de informatie van de Zeta's in 1997 al over de manen van Nibiru en vergeleek zij deze met een parelsnoer en de reden daarvoor is omdat deze manen niet in een baan om de planeet draaien, maar achter elkaar als een soort slinger achter Nibiru aan zwieren.
Naast de manen bevindt zich achter de planeet een lang gestrekte roodachtige wolk bestaande uit ruimtepuin die er ook uitziet als de rode draak zoals die in de Chinese cultuur een prominente rol speelt en binnen allerlei profetieën ook wordt genoemd in relatie tot deze onbekende planeet.
At thetime of the great destruction of Earth, God caused a dragon from out of Heaven to come and encompass her about. The dragon was frightful to behold, it lashed its tail, it breathed out fire and hot coals, and a great catastrophe was inflicted upon mankind. Indertijd gaf Nancy aan dat het er ongeveer als volgt uit zou zien:
Nancy Lieder stelt dan ook dat mensen die zeggen dat dit één van de tekenen van de eindtijd is, zoals die wordt voorspeld in de bijbel helemaal gelijk hebben.
Vreemde luchten die of rood kleuren of paars of een perzikachtige kleur, maar wat allemaal te herleiden is naar hetzelfde fenomeen wat ook onze verre voorouders voor ons hebben gezien. In een eerder artikel schreven we het volgende over dit fenomeen:
Door de gloed van de Verwoester was de aarde gehuld in een roodachtig licht. Het land was platgeslagen en verwoest door enorme hagelstenen die neer beukten op alles wat stond.
Het bovenstaande is een klein stukje uit de Kolbrin bijbel. In een eerder artikel schreven wij al over de herkomst van dit werk:
Als we dan uiteindelijk terechtkomen bij iets wat op geschreven documenten lijkt, dan zien we naast de kleitabletten van de Sumeriërs iets wat de Kolbrin Bijbel wordt genoemd. Het is een verzameling van oeroude teksten die vertaald zijn. De herkomst is het oude Egypte en daarna komen we ze weer tegen in de Middeleeuwen.
De manuscripten zouden gered zijn tijdens een brand in het klooster van Glastonbury Abbey in 1184. Er gaat zelfs het gerucht dat de beroemde Nicola Tesla enkele van zijn wijsheden haalde uit de Kolbrin Bijbel. Deze bestaat uit in totaal elf boeken, waarvan men zegt dat de eerste zes geschreven zijn door Egyptenaren ten tijde van de Exodus. Het boek is nooit toegankelijk geweest voor het grote publiek, maar werd altijd geheimgehouden bestemd voor een select groepje mensen. Tegenwoordig is er een gedrukte versie beschikbaar via het Culdian Trust.
Deze Kolbrin bijbel beschrijft in detail de komst van de Verwoester, oftewel de planeet Nibiru of Planet X. In die bijbel staat onder andere het volgende:
De plaag waarde door het land, de rivier was bloedrood en overal was bloed. Zij die dronken van de rivier moesten onmiddellijk overgeven. Het stof beet zich vast in de huid van zowel mens als dier.
Door de gloed van de Verwoester was de aarde gehuld in een roodachtig licht. Het land was platgeslagen en verwoest door enorme hagelstenen die neer beukten op alles wat stond. Ze kwamen naar beneden in hete buien en achter hen aan kwam een soort vreemd gloeiend vuur dat over de aarde liep.
Naarmate Nibiru verder door de ruimte reist, sleurt het als het ware een enorme wolk van ruimtepuin achter zich aan bestaande uit gassen, stenen, rotsen en manen, evenals een enorme wolk van geladen rode roestig stof. Wanneer je daar vanaf de aarde naar kijkt, dan lijkt dit bloedrood. Tijdens de passage van de planeet komt deze wolk dichter in de buurt van de aarde en raakt de enorme staart onze planeet als het ware, waardoor dit roestige stof op aarde terecht komt en de luchten en het water een bloedrode kleur geeft.
Het is ook deze wolk die wij nu regelmatig waarnemen in de vorm van bloedrode zonsondergangen en rode luchten (zelfs 's nachts). Deze rode stofwolk wordt ook door de wind verspreid en zorgt onder ander ook voor bloedrode zandstormen en doet het water op bepaalde plekken eveneens bloedrood kleuren.
Het is niet alleen de Kolbrin bijbel waar deze rode stofwolk wordt beschreven, het komt onder andere ook voor bij de onderzoeker, auteur en goede vriend van Einstein, Immanuel Velikovsky. In zijn boek uit 1950, Werelden in botsing, staat onder andere het volgende:
"Eén van de eerst zichtbare tekenen van deze ontmoeting was het roodkleuren van het aardoppervlak, veroorzaakt door dun stof van roestig pigment. In de zeeën, in de meren en de rivieren zorgde dit pigment voor een bloedrode kleur van het water (pagina 64).
Onze planeet ging dieper in de staart van de komeet. Het stof was de voorbode van het grind (pagina 67).
Net zoals de bekende astronoom Carlos Muñoz Ferrada ging ook Velikovsky ervan uit te maken te hebben met een niet normale planeet, maar een soort komeet/planeet (cometa planeta).
De volgende video geeft in 22 minuten een samenvatting van de heftige weerextremen en andere bijzonder gebeurtenissen op onze planeet in de afgelopen maand juni. Oordeel zelf of we hier te maken hebben met een stabiele rustige planeet, of eentje die onder invloed staat van ongewone krachten en die misschien wel veroorzaakt worden de planeet Niburu, ook wel Planet X genoemd.
