Astronauts bound for Mars should swing by Venus first, scientists say
Astronauts bound for Mars should swing by Venus first, scientists say
The roads of human spaceflight all seem to lead to Mars. For decades now, it's been the logical next step after the moon.
But if you're an astronaut or a cosmonaut on your way to or from Mars, you might make a surprising pit stop along the way:Venus.
A flight to (or from) Mars can happen more quickly and cheaply if it "involves a Venus flyby on the way to or on the way home from Mars," Noam Izenberg, a planetary geologist at Johns Hopkins University, told Space.com.
Izenberg is one of a number of scientists and engineers advocating that a crewed mission to Mars also visit Venus. This group of researchers has drafted a white paper on the subject, to be submitted for peer review at Acta Astronautica. According to that paper, using Venus as a stepping stone to Mars isn't just one option — it's an essential part of a crewed Mars mission.
"Venus is how you get to Mars," Kirby Runyon, a planetary geomorphologist at Johns Hopkins University who's on the white paper team, told Space.com.
To get between Earth and Mars, there are two options. The first, and simplest, is a conjunction mission, in which a spacecraft flies between the two planets when they align in their orbits. After reaching Mars, astronauts would need to wait for the planets to align again before they could return to Earth. That wait could take as long as a year and a half.
The second option is an opposition mission, in which — either en route to Mars or on a return trip — a spacecraft would slingshot past Venus, using the planet's gravity to alter course. Using Venus for such a gravity assist would dramatically reduce the amount of energy needed for the trip, saving on fuel and weight, and therefore also on cost. This is the type of mission that these researchers support.
"It's preferable to fly by Venus for a gravity assist on the way to Mars," Paul Byrne, a planetary geologist at North Carolina State University, also on the white paper team, told Space.com.
A conjunction mission might look simpler on paper, but the opportunities for such transfers are few and far between. Mars and Earth's orbits only align to allow for a conjunction mission every 26 months. In contrast, you could theoretically launch an opposition mission every 19 months.
Furthermore, opposition missions allow for much shorter stays at Mars: astronauts could even go for trips as short as one month — as opposed to the year and a half a conjunction mission might take. While the actual amount of time that this flight might take could be longer, adding Venus to a Mars flight plan means that astronauts could return to Earth as much as a year sooner.
Additionally, in the event something were to go wrong during such a mission, going to Venus first also allows the possibility of quickly changing course and returning to Earth in a much shorter timeframe.
"You … greatly simplify the logistics of going to Mars, especially from the perspective of crew health," Runyon said.
"There's science at two planets for much less than the price of two separate crewed missions," Byrne said.
Robotic probes have captured an incredible amount of data through observations at Venus, but scientists think that visiting Venus with a crewed mission opens up new possibilities — especially if those visitors bring probes or rovers with them. "What humans can do better than robots is respond to observations on the fly,"Martha Gilmore, a planetary geologist at Wesleyan University, who isn't involved with the white paper group, told Space.com.
Astronauts at Venus wouldn't have to deal with the lag — which could be anywhere between five minutes and 28 minutes — thanks to the time light takes to travel between Earth and Venus. Therefore, according to Runyon, "the crew would be able to control rovers on the surface and aircraft in the atmosphere in real time with a virtual reality headset and a joystick."
"If you do that with a purely robotic mission from Earth," Izenberg added, "you can't really do that easily."
The white paper team believes that piloting drones during such a flyby is more than just a dream. Runyon said that, if you look between the lines, the evidence is there that NASA is planning for an opposition-type mission. This NASA report released in April mentions "two-year Mars class missions" as a future goal.
"Assuming that this report is talking about normal forms of propulsion," said Runyon, "the only way you can get to Mars and back in two years is if you include a Venus flyby."
Earth's moon is more metal than scientists imagined.
NASA's prolific Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) found rich evidence of iron and titanium oxides under the surface of the moon, which may show a close connection with Earth's early history.
Scientists have been debating how the moon formed for decades. The leading theory suggests that a Mars-size world collided with Earth billions of years ago. The colliding world shattered upon impact and blasted part of the proto-Earth's surface into space. The debris surrounded Earth with a ring; the moon we see today is the result of that ring slowly collapsing under its own gravity.
The moon's chemical composition, however, doesn't show clear evidence of that theory. The lunar highlands on the moon, visible from the Earth as bright regions, have rocks with smaller amounts of metal-bearing minerals relative to our planet.
That could make sense if Earth was already layered, with heavier metals sunk to the core — except that the moon's dark maria planes formed at the same time and have higher metal abundance even than Earth's rocks.
LRO's new findings could explain the discrepancy. The new research relies on a device called the Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument, a radar probe designed to map lunar geology, look for water ice and test communications technologies.
The instrument scoured the terrain in the moon's northern hemisphere for an electrical property called the dielectric constant. This constant is a number comparing the ability of a material to transmit electric fields with that of the vacuum of space.
Electric-field transmission is useful to find ice in the shadows of craters, where it is protected from the heat of the sun. But it can also identify areas where more metals, like iron and titanium oxides, are exposed to the surface.
And the scientists noticed that the dielectric constant increased with crater size, but only up to a certain point. Craters between 1 and 3 miles (2 and 5 kilometers) in diameter showed the dielectric constant increased steadily as the craters grew larger. For craters between 3 and 12 miles (5 to 20 km) wide, however, the constant held steady.
"It was a surprising relationship that we had no reason to believe would exist," Essam Heggy, co-investigator of the Mini-RF experiments from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and lead author on the new research, said in a NASA statement.
The team's theory was that the first few hundred feet (or meters) of the moon's surface has few of these oxides, but a richer source of metal lies further below. Then, as meteors collide with the lunar surface and scratch away upper layers, metals become exposed. That sort of pattern would also explain low metal levels in the lunar highlands and higher abundances in the darker and lower plains closer to the moon's subsurface.
To test their work, researchers compared Mini-RF's crater-floor radar images with metal oxide maps produced by a range of missions: LRO Wide-Angle Camera, Japan's Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE) mission (also called Kayuga) and NASA's Lunar Prospector spacecraft. SELENE and Lunar Prospector are no longer operating, but their archival data remains.
Those observations showed that larger craters did indeed contain more metal, according to NASA, which the researchers believe support their hypothesis about buried metallic deposits that meteors excavate.
The results are even more intriguing in light of a puzzling phenomenon reported in 2019 by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, at the moon. Gravity measurements of the moon suggest there is a lot of dense material that is tens to hundreds of miles (or kilometers) underneath the moon's massive South Pole-Aitken basin. The GRAIL results, paired with LRO's new find, thus suggest metals may be more concentrated in certain regions of the moon.
The LRO results are one small step to better understanding how the moon formed, as the observations show how iron and titanium oxides are distributed beneath the moon's northern hemisphere. Next, the researchers will be looking at crater floors in the southern hemisphere to see how much metal is there.
On June 18, President Donald Trump replied to a question about the Roswell UFO crash from his son, Don Jr, in a podcast. Trump’s reply was that he would consider declassifying what occurred at the 1947 event that was “very interesting”. According to new information from Secret Space Program Insider Corey Goode, Trump was told that the Roswell UFO Crash involved time-traveling humans from the future.
Goode has recently revealed that he is again receiving briefings from reliable insiders about various classified programs. I have in the past discussed Goode’s credibility both as an insider himself with first-hand witness information, and also as a conduit for other insiders who release information and documents to him. This was best exemplified in two leaked Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) documents that he was the first to publicly reveal back in December 2017, the documents were given to him from a trusted DIA source.
According to newly acquired information from Goode, there is consensus within the “deep black” operations community to move forward with a “limited hangout” where some of the truth about secret space programs will be revealed, while much will continue to remain hidden including the existence of extraterrestrial life.
This is what Goode wrote to me about what Trump has been told and what is about to be officially disclosed:
I have mentioned this in the past. It was brought up again recently after Trump commented on Roswell. POTUS ‘Roswell Briefings’ are basically this: Roswell was NOT an Alien event. It was a mishap from US in the future. POTUS is told that the MAJORITY of the lights seen in the sky are from our own craft operating in the future and creating a temporal butterfly effect. They are told that what the ancients saw in the sky was often the exact same phenomenon….
POTUS is under the impression that because of tests being run in Roswell during the same time that future craft were operating in that Space at a later time… that it caused the craft to pull into the past and crash thus beginning the new tech boom after WWII.
This more accurate account of what happened at Roswell, when compared to an official USAF report released in 1995, will nevertheless disappoint many wanting full disclosure of the extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs that stretches back into antiquity.It appears that those briefing Trump have decided that it is too soon for humanity to be told the full truth, and that a “limited hangout” must be put into effect, and Roswell will be the linchpin for that to happen.
Goode continued to explain what he had been told by his sources:
There is a constant contact between the present and the future since the late 50’s. The ‘PLAN’ that Q often mentions was delivered to the mid 1960’s ‘pre-alliance’ members in full and that plan has been followed ever since. These people carry these weird looking pagers (like from the 80’s/90’s) that has a flip out keyboard that allows the person to communicate with their FUTURE self and command center within these programs. There are Quantum Computers that are used for this communication and it operates in ‘reciprocal dimensions’ where time flows in different directions and at different rates. Data is transmitted in these alternate dimensions.
There is a major time war going on between humans from 2 timelines. One is more of the ‘Wing Maker’ type of future where AI controls a very small population on Earth. There is another group fighting to preserve the timeline by stopping the manipulation of timelines so that they all collapse into the proper one (per ET / Anshar Guidance).
This will not be the first time that a narrative explaining a temporal war between two factions of future humans has been leaked into the public arena.
Back in 2004, Dan Burisch, a microbiologist, came forward to reveal what he had witnessed in classified programs about the existence of two factions of time-traveling future humans (aka extraterrestrials) trying to deal with a converging timeline paradox that would occur by 2012. Of course, what Burisch predicted did not happen suggesting that he was disseminating disinformation in a limited hangout, or such a converging timeline paradox had been delayed.
I did have a series of email Q&A’s with Burisch back in April 2004, and concluded he was part of a limited hangout. It’s no great surprise that information similar to his is now being spun for a more modern audience including Trump, according to Goode:
We are told that some of these people from the future are working directly with elements of current era deep black intel agencies. They have portals in these locations that they do point to point transfers of people and supplies from.
Very interesting stuff… and I can see how POTUS would buy this over little green men. Especially with his history with his uncle who worked on the Tesla papers.
Goode was here referring to Dr. John Trump who was a full professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1943 when he was asked by the FBI to evaluate the national security implications of the papers of the recently deceased Nikola Tesla. Professor Trump later told his nephew, Donald, about some of the advanced technologies used in classified programs, which has led to much speculation over what the current President knows about flying saucers and the Roswell crash.
On July 13, I spoke with Goode who explained that future disclosure announcements will be limited to advanced technology patents that will be released to the general public, similar to five recent patents granted to the US Navy concerning electromagnetic propulsion, power and defense. This patents oriented disclosure process will better familiarize the scientific community and public with principles of time travel and electromagnetic propulsion in order to get them to accept the limited hangout narrative that all UFO sightings involve humans from the future.
A gigantic templar crop circle has appeared out of nowhere on a farmer's field in Northern France, triggering fear and curiosity of thousands of visitors.
Mysterious 'templar' crop circle appears in French field

Crop circle, or crop formation, is nothing new for the world to know and understand. They have been appearing in the US and Europe for decades.
The mysterious phenomenon of patterns created by flattening a large area of the crop was given a term in the 1980s by Colin Andrews.
Over the years, many have connected the phenomenon to extraterrestrials. However, there are those who firmly believe they fall within the realm of hoaxes.
The topic of crop circles received mainstream coverage with M. Night Shyamalan’s 2002 thriller ‘Signs’, that showed a family living in the US suburbs waking up to find huge patterns on their cornfield.
But recently, the theory of crop circles being hoaxes took a back seat after a massive pattern appeared in a wheat field in France.
A gigantic templar crop circle has appeared out of nowhere on a farmer's field in Northern France, triggering fear and curiosity of thousands of visitors.
According to reports, the huge templar sign appeared on July 5 in a filed in Vimy, near Lens.
Needless to say, it has attracted thousands of people.
The owner of the land, Gerard Benoit, noticed the pattern while driving his tractor on July 5. The intricate design has been described as a 'Templar Cross'.
“I thought someone had damaged my wheat overnight, but then I realised it was forming a pattern. We've never seen a crop circle before. We see it in movies. Its vandalism, but we said to ourselves, 'It's good for once," Nicolas Benoit, Gerard Benoit's son, told Euro Weekly News.
“We saw a lot of people come to the field and we discovered that there were religious beliefs around it. People are crazy. They come to pray,” Nicolas added.
The Benoit family had shared some pictures of the circles on social media. But they had to remove them as hundreds of people have been visiting their farm since July 5.
"We are not a museum. The crop circles are beautiful, but for someone else," said Nicolas.
Our planet is filled with incredible stories, myths, and legends about incredible civilizations and cultures that inhabited Earth tens of thousands of years ago, before written history.Among all these fascinating legends, including Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, and Shambala among others, there is one especially suggestive for which the ancient Greek historians were interested.
It was the so-called land of Hyperborea, which was said to rival the mythical Atlantis. A place in which, according to the myths, the gods who descended from heaven lived, a place of incredible prosperity, technology, and history.
This mythical land is said to have been like no other. Hyperboreans were said to have been immortal, in addition to being described as Gods. Hyperborea was said to have been a theocracy ruled by three priests of the god Apollo.
Furthermore, the god Apollo drove his flying vehicle to this region every nineteen years to rejuvenate.
It is also said that Medusa was banished to those lands. Various fragments about Pythagoras claimed that he came from the Hyperboreans.
Located far to the north, somewhere near the icy regions of the NorthPole, the legends speak of an ancient and almost forgotten civilization.
Mythical in character, it is said that the Hyperborean civilization flourished in the northernmost region of planet Earth at a time when the area was suitable for human life and development.
Certain esoteric systems and spiritual traditions speak of Hyperborea as the terrestrial and celestial principle of civilization. In other words, the home of the ancient people. The original human.
Some authors have even proposed several theories suggesting that Hyperborea was the original Garden of Eden, the exact place where the earthly planes and celestial planes meet.
The land was described in a number of legends as being the perfect place on Earth, hence its connection to the Garden of Eden.
Hyperborea is said to have been a land where the Sun shone twenty-four hours a day.
Greek Mythology and the Hyperboreans
It is in Greek Mythology where we find a lot of details about this mythical land. According to Greek literature, Hyperborea was a place inhabited by a race of Giants who were described as living in a place ‘beyond the north wind’.
The Ancient Greek believed that Boreas, the God of the North Wind inhabited Thrace, and therefore Hyperborea was commonly referred to as a place located far to the north of Thrace.
As the Greek described Hyperborea as a place where the Sun shone twenty-four hours a day, modern authors have suggested they may have described a location within the North Circle of our planet.
the marvelous road to the assembly of the Hyperboreans.
Pindar also described the otherworldly perfection of the Hyperboreans:
Never the Muse is absent
from their ways: lyres clash and flutes cry
and everywhere maiden choruses whirling.
Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixed
in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live.
But it is Greek historian Herodotus who describes this incredible place with detail in his book Histories (Book IV, Chapters 32–36).
Herodotus reported three initial references that apparently mentioned the Hyperboreans, including Hesiod and Homer, the latter purportedly having written about Hyperborea in his lost work Epigoni.
Herodotus also recorded that the 7th-century BC poet Aristeaswrote of the ancient Hyperboreans in a poem (now regrettably lost) called Arimaspea which speaks about a journey to the Issedones, who are thought to have lived in the Kazakh Steppe.
Beyond these lived the one-eyed Arimaspians, further on the gold-guarding griffins, and beyond these the Hyperboreans.
Herodotus thought that Hyperborea prevailed somewhere in Northeast Asia.
So, if Hyperboreans did exist, where was it located then? Different sources indicate different locations.
Some authors argue that the ancient Hyperboreans were located somewhere beyond the snowy Riphean Mountains–a mountain range mentioned by various authors of classical antiquity but whose locations remains a profound mystery. (The Montes Riphaeusmountain range on Earth’s Moon is named in honor of the Riphean Mountains.)
If we take a look at the work of Pausanias: “The land of the Hyperboreans, men living beyond the home of Boreas.”
According to Homer, Boreas was in Trace, so Hyperborea was in his opinion north of Thrace, in Dacia.
But, as the Riphean Mountain’s location was a heavily discussed topic in ancient time, it was a difficult task to agree on the location of both the mountains and the land where the Hyperboreans lived.
According to Hecataeus of Miletus, an early Greek historian, and geographer, the Riphean Mountains were located near the Black Sea. Pindar, however, was convinced that the Ripehean Mountains and Borea was located near the Danube, while Heraclides Ponticus and Antimachus, in contrast, identified the Riphean Mountains with the Alps. They were also convinced that the Hyperboreans were a Celtic tribe who lived beyond the Riphean Mountains.
“In the regions beyond the land of the Celts there lies in the ocean an island no smaller than Sicily. This island, the account continues, is situated in the north and is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are called by that name because their home is beyond the point whence the north wind (Boreas) blows; and the island is both fertile and productive of every crop, and has an unusually temperate climate…”
Plutarch, on the other hand, wrote in the first century AD that the Hyperboreans were most likely the Gauls, who attacked and sacked Rome in the Fourth century BC.
Legends speak of mighty ancient civilizations
To the ancient Greek and Romans, Thule and Hyperborea were one of several terrae incognitae, regions that have not been mapped or documented.
In these uncharted lands, Pliny, Pindar, and Herodotus among others believe that people lived incredible longevous lifespans, surpassing the age of one thousand years.
According to a number of ancient authors, the sun supposedly rose and set only once a year, meaning that if such civilization existed, it was most likely located above or on the arctic circle.
The Hyperboreans were allegedly once on the verge of war against a race of soldiers which many authors suggest may have been the Atlanteans. However, the war never happened as the soldiers realized the inhabitants of Hyperborea were far too strong.
This account was preserved by Aelian–a Roman author and teacher of rhetoric. Some beleive the account by Aelian was a work of satire or comedy
Pentagon UFO footage needs scientific and military investigation, states expert
Pentagon UFO footage needs scientific and military investigation, states expert
UFO footage publicly acknowledged by the Pentagon DOES contain physical anomalies which are "worthy of serious scientific and military attention", according to an expert.
Headlines were made across the globe in 2017 when US Navy radar footage of a mystery object with a “glowing aura” and flying erratically was leaked to the public. The debate over UFOs reached fever pitch when the footage emerged of what some called an alien craft. One particular instance details footage from a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, a twin-engined fighter, showing an unidentified aircraft surrounded by a glowing aura.
The object travelled at a high speed and rotated as it moved - the pilots onboard are captured saying “there’s a whole fleet of them”.
While the US Navy acknowledged the incident, officials at the Pentagon - the United State's Department of Defense - kept quiet until earlier this year when they officially disclosed it.
The DoD said the video was authentic, although did not go into detail about what the craft may be or where it came from.
However, one expert believes the video is definitely worthy of scientific investigation due to its seemingly paranormal nature.

Are UFOs visiting Earth?
(Image: GETTY)
Adam Dodd, a tutor at the University of Queensland who has an interest in science media research, said: "Thoughts about what UFOs are vary widely – from illusions to alien spacecraft.
"However, a workable, conservative definition is: 'intelligently-controlled airborne objects not apparently made by humans'.
"Only a small fraction of UFO reports collected globally over the past seven decades seem to describe such objects, but the Navy footage appears to fit the bill.
"Whether such objects are vehicles of alien invasion or not, their mere presence would seem to indicate a national security threat, which is partly what makes the Pentagon’s recent announcement so puzzling.
"As observers, we are led to believe that, despite the somewhat visually disappointing resolution, we are watching authentic footage.
"In a way, the visual disappointment helps to qualify the videos as candidates for legitimacy.
"Even though few of us know what such a video “should” look like, we assume that, since UFO encounters are spontaneous and surprising, footage is likely to be somewhat less than satisfactory.
"These expectations present a dilemma. If an image of a UFO is too clear it is likely to be read as obviously fake, but if it’s too blurry it could be anything.
"A superficial reading of the Navy UFO footage would likely lead to the latter evaluation.
"But given the nature of the footage (it is infrared, not technically photographic, so establishes the heat signature of the objects depicted), and the institutional context (the Pentagon is not known for producing and distributing fake UFO videos), it’s hard to avoid concluding the footage shows genuine physical anomalies.
"If that’s the case, it would be worthy of serious scientific and military attention, both of which currently seem absent."
This image of comet NEOWISE was captured by NASA’s Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, on June 24, 2020, as the comet approached the sun.
(Image credit: NASA/STEREO/William Thompson)
Processed data from the WISPR instrument on NASA’s Parker Solar Probe shows greater detail in the twin tails of comet NEOWISE, as seen on July 5, 2020. The lower, broader tail is the comet’s dust tail, while the thinner, upper tail is the comet’s ion tail.
(Image credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Naval Research Lab/Parker Solar Probe/Guillermo Stenborg)
Images of the comet were obtained on July 8 using the Planetary Science Institute's (PSI) Input/Output facility, which has also spotted sodium in Mercury's comet-like tail as well as Jupiter's atmosphere during past observations.
Scientists can already get a sense of cometary activity by looking at the dust coming from a comet, which can move faster if the particles are tiny and more easily pushed by sunlight. Slower particles tend to be larger and harder to move around. These individual particles affect how the dust tail is shaped.
Like dust, atomic sodium also is affected by sunlight, although it has more specific changes.
"Its [atomic sodium's] momentum kick comes from a very particular wavelength of yellow light — the same color seen in sodium vapor street lamps," research team member Jeffrey Morgenthaler, a PSI senior scientist, saidi a statement.
"Thanks to acceleration by intense sunlight," co-author and Boston University research scientist Carl Schmidt added in the same statement, "the sodium tail takes on a different shape than the tail seen in off-band filtered images, which are dominated by reflected light from dust. In comparison, the sodium tail is narrower, longer and points directly away from the sun."
Sunlight's push on sodium atoms tends to be stronger than its effect on dust and other gases that come off comets. It is difficult to see sodium tails, however, due to the sun's emissions. Notable examples of comets with sodium tails include Hale-Bopp (the famed 1997 naked eye-comet) and the notorious Comet ISON, which fell apart shortly after rounding the sun in 2013.
Morgenthaler and Schmidt will continue to observe NEOWISE as it rounds the sun. They are also using Monte Carlo computer models to simulate the sodium tail and estimate outgassing rates and speeds.
It was not revealed in the statement exactly when the team plans to submit their results to a journal for peer review, but it is common when observing quickly changing astronomical phenomena like NEOWISE to release interim information to keep the community informed.
Pontefract UFO expert releases documentary series on 25th anniversary of Roswell 'alien autopsy' video
Pontefract UFO expert releases documentary series on 25th anniversary of Roswell 'alien autopsy' video
While recent months have seen most of us spend a lot of time inside a Pontefract UFO expert has been using the time to look into his interests beyond the stars.
Author Philip Mantle has released a new four-part documentary series available on Amazon and iTunes that looks into the "UFO crash" at Roswell, New Mexico fin 1947 and the controversial Alien Autopsy film released in 1995, which supposedly depicts a medical examination of an extraterrestial being.
Mr Mantle has published numerous books on the subject and is a former director of investigations at the British UFO Research Association.
He said: "This year is the 25th anniversary of the infamous alien autopsy film hoax. I was involved in it right from day one and I am known, among other things, as an authority on this film."
Philip Mantle
To coincide with the anniversary Mr Mantle has published a revised edition of his book Roswell Alien Autopsy: The Truth Behind the Film that Shook the World, as well as the documentary, which is available now.
Mr Mantle said: "The documentary was released in May. It was due to come out later in the year but with the lockdown in place and people sat at home it made sense to release it a little early.
"I'm still involved in UFO research and investigation and now that the lockdown is being eased I am willing to look into people's reported UFO sightings once again.
"The new book has gained a lot of interest from many different parts of the world, especially now that I have released a lot of new documentation in it.
"There are those that still believe that the alien autopsy film is the genuine article but now that I have released all of this new material there can be no argument that it is 100 per cent fake and all of those behind it are exposed in full."
UFO is the initialism used to denote "unidentified flying objects", a phenomenon that has its roots in Roswell, America in 1947.
There are an average of 70,000 reported UFO sightings every year, worldwide.
The most famous incident in UFO history is Roswell, in July 1947. After the incident, the US Air Force announced being in possession of a flying saucer but later changed its statement, saying it was a weather balloon.
Mr Mantle used the lockdown to finish two further books Intoducing UFOs: A Young Person's Guide and UFO Landings UK. There a no publishing dates yet for these two books, but Mr Mantle has sold the documentary rights for the latter and it expecting filming to begin shortly.
Anyone who would like to request Mr Mantle look into a UFO sighting can email philip.mantle@gmail.com.

1.4-Million-Year-Old Bone Hand Axe Revises Toolmaking Timeline
Both sides of the recent Ethiopian bone hand axe find.
1.4-Million-Year-Old Bone Hand Axe Revises Toolmaking Timeline
In Ethiopia, a team of experts have uncovered a bone hand axemade, a staggering 1.4 million years ago, by an ancestor of modern humans. It was probably made by the archaic human species Homo erectus. The Ethiopian bone hand axe find is unique because it is made from hippopotamus bone and provides a very early example of H. erectus toolmaking capabilities. The find was made by specialists working at the remote Konso-Gardula site, in Ethiopia. This area has yielded a number of tools made by H. erectus .
The archaic H. erectus species of humans appeared over 2 million years ago and were the first to spread beyond Africa to Eurasia. They were the ancestors of Homo Heidelbergensis , who are, in turn, the probable ancestors of modern humans. It is believed that H. erectus were the first hominins to use fire, and develop other early technologies, including tools.
Bone Hand Axe is Only Second of Its Kind
In recent decades, specialists in Africa have uncovered many hand axes that appear to have been made by H. erectus . These early hand axes were made by whittling away flakes from a stone until it was sharp. This method is known to researchers as the ‘ Acheulean technique ’ reports Haaretz. These tools are typically oval-shaped to allow an early human to grasp the axe and one side was sharpened into a pointed blade.
Experts found the 4-inch (12 cm) bone hand axe at the Konso-Gardula site, which was not particularly surprising. However, what was unusual was that it was made from the femur of a Hippopotamus. The researchers wrote in the PNAS Journal that ‘The large number of flake scars and their distribution pattern, together with the high frequency of cone fractures’ indicated that it was made by an early human, almost certainly a H. erectus .
Finding a hand axe made of bone is rare and Phys.org reports that ‘It represents just the second bone-based H. erectus -made hand axe ever found’. The only other known example, found in Tanzania, was made from an elephant bone .
An analysis of the Ethiopian bone hand axe revealed that is was worn and thus well used. The researchers who unearthed the artifact wrote in PNAS that ‘Edge damage, polish, and striae patterns are consistent with use in longitudinal motions, such as in butchering.’ Moreover, it was almost identical in construction to stone axes from that period.
The biggest outcome of the Ethiopian bone hand axe discovery was how early it was made. Although it is far from the oldest of tools discovered (tools unearthed on the shores of Lake Turkana in Kenya, and date to 3.3 million years ago) researchers stated that it shows H. erectus had command of skills ‘that had only been thought to have developed half a million years later,’ reports Haaretz. Therefore, based on the bone tool find, H. erectus developed sophisticated toolmaking skills much earlier than widely believed.

Bone Hand Axe Shows Better Tool Skills Than Formerly Thought
The early human who made the Ethiopian bone hand axe must have been highly skilled. Tohoku University archaeologist Katsuhiro Sano wrote that, ‘That kind of control is even harder to accomplish with bone than with stone’ according to Ars Technica . It provides a fascinating insight into H. erectus and demonstrates that they had a high level of technical knowledge. Sano wrote that these hominins could understand ‘material properties like sharpness and durability well enough to choose the right material for the right job’ according to Ars Technica .
However, there is one mystery about the find: Why use bone in the first place, since stones are more resilient and stronger? One answer is that hippopotamus bones were readily available and may have been more suitable for some specific task. At the time, there would have been plenty of hippos in this area, which at the time was a wetland zone. The Ars Technica article suggests that ‘volcanic activity in east Africa sometimes changed hominins’ access to stone deposits for centuries at a time.’ Therefore, early humans in such areas could have been forced to use bones for toolmaking.
Bone Hand Axe Shows Greater Intelligence and Social Skills
The bone hand axe head shows that H. erectus was technologically advanced. Sano and his collaborators believe that the ‘abundance of workable stone around Konso may have helped Acheulean toolmakers there hone their craft since they had plenty of material to work with’ according to Ars Technica . The sophistication of this hand tool shows that H. erectus may have passed on their knowledge of toolmaking. And this suggests that they were smarter and had more developed social structure than previously believed. Sano and his colleagues stated in the Ars Technica article that ‘Our early hominin cousins were already very resourceful, very competent, and very intelligent.’
The Ethiopian bone hand axe discovery is very important. The unearthing of a hand axe made out of a femur bone demonstrates the evolution of archaic humans that lived in the Konso area. In the PNAS article researchers concluded that this find adds considerably to the ‘known technological repertoire of the African Early Pleistocene Homo.’ Work is continuing at the Konso site and more bone hand tools may be unearthed in the future.

WETENSCHAPDomper op de feestvreugde voor de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten: vanmorgen werd de lancering van de eerste (Arabische) Marsmissie met twee dagen uitgesteld, door de slechte weersomstandigheden. Ook de Verenigde Staten en China willen de komende twee weken raketrovers richting Mars lanceren. Missen ze het (korte) lanceervenster, zullen ze twee jaar moeten wachten op een volgende gelegenheid.
Rusland en Europa vielen als eerste af in de race naar Mars. Door de coronapandemie liepen de plannen van Roskosmos en de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie (ESA) vertraging op waardoor ze zich moesten terugtrekken. Zij zullen het over twee jaar opnieuw proberen.
Het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap NASA, China alsook de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten (VAE) zullen wél nog een kansje wagen de komende twee weken. NASA heeft de lancering van zijn Marsrover Perseverance al enkele keren moeten uitstellen waardoor de lanceerdatum naar 30 juli werd verschoven. En nu de lancering van de VAE eveneens vertraging oploopt, belooft het behoorlijk druk te worden de komende twee weken.
De lanceerdatum van China is voorlopig nog onbekend, maar één ding is zeker: ze kunnen maar beter haast maken, want de duur van het lanceervenster is kort en loopt maar tot 15 augustus. Dat is een gevolg van de baan en de omlooptijd van Mars in verhouding tot die van de Aarde. De periodes waarin Mars met zo min mogelijk energie te bereiken is, komen met intervallen van 2,135 jaar.
In this video clip, an engineer observes as a test of the Mars Helicopter Delivery System at Lockheed Martin Space in Denver on April 2019.
Diep in de ruimte is iets vreemds gaande. Astronomen hebben vier objecten ontdekt die cirkelvormig zijn en die langs de rand extra helder zijn. De wetenschappers hebben geen idee in welke categorie ze de objecten moeten onderbrengen.
De objecten, die lijken op een soort ringvormige eilanden, zijn ‘odd radio circles’ (vreemde radiocirkels) of kortweg ORCs genoemd. De astronomen weten niet precies hoe ver deze ORCs bij ons vandaan staan, maar ze zouden zich in verre sterrenstelsels kunnen bevinden.
In een nieuwe paper over de ontdekking dragen de sterrenkundigen meerdere mogelijke verklaringen aan. Er is alleen één probleem: geen enkele theorie kan alle vier nieuwe ORCs verklaren. Het is in ieder geval uitgesloten dat het gaat om supernova’s, planetaire nevels of stervormende sterrenstelsels. De astronomen speculeren dat we hier te maken hebben met schokgolven die het gevolg zijn van een extragalactische gebeurtenis of activiteit in een radiostelsel.
Nieuw fenomeen
Het is ook mogelijk dat we te maken hebben met een nieuw fenomeen dat we nog niet echt hebben onderzocht, reageerde astronoom Kristine Spekkens van Queen’s University in Canada.
In het centrum van twee van de ORCs zijn sterrenstelsels ontdekt, wat erop lijkt te wijzen dat de objecten zijn gevormd door die stelsels. Twee ORCs bevinden zich bovendien erg dicht bij elkaar, wat betekent dat ze mogelijk dezelfde oorsprong hebben.
De astronomen hebben in ieder geval kunnen bevestigen dat de objecten echt bestaan. Omdat ze nog maar vier van deze raadselachtige objecten hebben gevonden, kunnen ze er nog maar weinig over zeggen.
Ze verwachten nog meer ongewone objecten te ontdekken. Het onderzoek zal naar alle waarschijnlijkheid spoedig te lezen zijn in het tijdschrift Nature Astronomy.

Rainbow UFOs Seen Over Philippines On July 9, 2020, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 9, 2020
Location of sighting: Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, Philippines

These glowing clouds are actually UFOs sitting atop of real clouds. You can see the dark clouds underneath and the bright glowing colorful UFOs lighting up the area clouds around them. The glowing objects are the outer layer of clouds that many UFOs make, so we don't actually see the UFO here, but the outer edges of the clouds that the UFOs made. Absolutely breathtaking and proof aliens are watching over the Philippines.
TheUFO or unidentified flying object was seen over Saddleworth moor in North West England. Avid bird watcher Alan Jones, 49, of Delph saw the UFO in the early morning hours as he sat in his car at Bleak Hey Nook. At about 5.30am, Mr Jones heard a "whoosh sound" followed by a bright light in his rearview mirror.
According to The Oldham Times, he saw the UFO orb rise from a ball of light before it turned red and vanished into the skies.
Mr Jones compared the sound it made to a plane that has just landed.
He said: "I know it sounds incredible, but this is what I saw."
The bizarre UFO encounter was analysed by self-titled UFO expert and conspiracy theorist Scott C Waring.

Mr Waring shared the encounter on his blog ET Data Base in a post titled Glowing Sphere Seen Over Saddleworth.
He said: "Here is another UFO seen over the UK.
"It is a perfect orb and was seen shooting across the sky at 5.3am.
"The object seemed to make a whooshing sound as it passed, which would mean its mostly silent except for the gusts of wind passing around it as it speeds up.
"Lots of alien activity in the UK this week. It looks like something big is about to happen over there, so if you are in that area, keep an eye out.
The former design manager also hinted at the possibility of alien life somewhere beyond Earth.
He said: "I've never thought about whether there is life elsewhere in the Univers, but judging from what saw on Sunday morning, it's got to be a distinct possibility.
"It was beautiful morning with mist hanging over the landscape, and this thing came out of nowhere."
Most experts would, however, agree there are perfectly natural explanations behind UFO sightings.
A common explanation is the sighings are the result of pareidolia.
Pareidolia is a bizarre trick of the mind that causes people to see recognisable shapes and patterns where they do not exist.
Pareidolia can cause people to see animals in clouds and smiling faces in car bumpers.
The US space agency NASA said: "Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon where people see recognizable shapes in clouds, rock formations, or otherwise unrelated objects or data.
"There are many examples of this phenomenon on Earth and in space."
Some really amazing UFO clouds showed up coming from the ocean over the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand last week. It looks as if there were not one but three different UFOs flying near each other. The clouds however were not cooperative and now it looks like three disks layered. Notice the above screenshot...the UFOs have no puffs of smoke anywhere, no curls of mist, which is proof that the vapors are being contained by an invisible force field so they wont blow away. The winds have zero effect on them. This is absolute proof that UFOs make clouds. Scott C. Waring
News states:
"Put simply, these incredible clouds form when air flows over the ranges, a bit like how the sea is altered on the surface by rocks or shallow water below. "The fading southerly conditions in the evening, along with the cooling night, helped produce this dramatic cloud, more often seen over parts of Canterbury (thanks to the Southern Alps and nor'westers)."
Hey My UFO Discovery Got Into The 2020 Movie Proximity! Awesome, UFO Sighting News.
Hey My UFO Discovery Got Into The 2020 Movie Proximity! Awesome, UFO Sighting News.
I was watching the 2020 scifi flick called Proximity. The movie is about a boy who works for JPL and records his own abduction. At 36 minutes into the movie, he is in a cafe explains sightings to a girl. One of them was my discovery back in 2011. I fought for that against NASA. They moved the URLs two different times, but over the months, and then years I found them again. Kinda cool a discovery I made is in a big 2020 movie. I didn't get credit for it, but hey, who does now a days? I got onto twitter and sent a message to the writer Eric Demeusy. Maybe he will answer, maybe not, but still cool a discovery is now in a 2020 film. So just wanted to share with you and take the credit here since I see it nowhere else. I worked hard to keep those photos in the publics hands, I'm not trying to be selfish, but ask so little. Oh, excellent movie, loved the suspense and twits and turns, especially the parts about the reactions of the public...I feel it. Scott C. Waring
@EricDemeusy Hi Eric, my discovery is in your movie, can you please give me credit for it? I fought NASA back in 2011, they made the URLs disappear twice, each time I found them.
Here is another UFO seen over the UK. It is a perfect orb and was seen shooting across the sky at 5:30AM. The object seemed to make a whooshing sound as it passed which would mean its mostly silent except for the gusts of wind passing around it as it speeds up. Lots of alien activity in the UK this week. I looks like something big is about to happen over there, so if you are in that area, keep an eye out. The most common time of the day to catch a UFO is sunrise or sunset. Sounds odd, but true. Scott C. Waring
News states:
Alan, 49, whose hobby is watching owl activity, was in his car at Bleak Hey Nook, near Dirty Lane, at about 5.30am when he first heard a huge "whoosh sound" and then saw the blazing light in his rear view mirror. He turned round and saw the orb rising from the ball of light before it turned red and disappeared in the sky, dispersing into an arc. "The sound it made was like what you often hear when an aircraft has just landed, but it was really loud," said Alan. "I know it sounds incredible, but this is what I saw." Alan, a former design manager for a display exibition company, said: "I've seen some strange things on Saddleworth moor but I've never seen anything like this. It was amazing."
Thankfully, Alan had the presence of mind to get his phone out and take some photographs of what he saw. He added: "I've never thought about whether there is life elsewhere in the universe, but judging from what saw on Sunday morning, it's got to be a distinct possibility. "It was beautiful morning with mist hanging over the landscape, and this thing came out of nowhere." Alan said he had reported his sighting to the local police who said they would investigate.
Above I marked the landing spot of the Devon UFO and the sighting of the Saddleworth UFO a week apart...but may have a connection.
Here is an awesome video of something very large having crushed the trees themselves in a forested area of Devon, Engand. A Ben Landricombe was walking his dog and discovered this area of the forest was crushed down as if something large landed on top of the the trees. You can clearly see the still living trees laying sideways and a circular wall of trees still growing straight and normal on the edges. Very odd, and yes this could be a landing place for a UFO, but it could also be the exact location of a tunnel opening up from an underground base 5km below the surface. Dirt and rock are easy for aliens to open and close with their advanced tech, as easily as a human opens and closes a zip lock bag. 100% proof of alien activity in the area. Scott C. Waring
News states:
Ben Landricombe, from Plymouth, said he discovered an area of flattened trees in the woods near Meddon, at about 4pm on Monday (July 13), while taking his dog for a walk. He said: "Found a crash site in the woods - could be UFO. I stopped to take the dog for a walk in the woods today as we're camping." He said there was no indication as to why the trees were pulled down, adding: "They were snapped at the top - that was what I thought was strange". Ben continued: "We took the dog for a walk and it felt eerie and we walked about a mile and came across this. "We took the pictures and then felt someone was watching us and heard
weird sounds so we ran back to our camper. "Something strange about this place."
Ancient Ruin found on Mars appears scattered due to disaster that hit the region in the past
Ancient Ruin found on Mars appears scattered due to disaster that hit the region in the past
An ancient ruin has been discovered in Melas Mensa on Mars. The ruin appears to be in a state of decay. Seen are what looks like tiles/slabs and megalithic blocks. The structure which is 40 meters across and 20 meters width seems to have openings.
Another structures located in Nili Fossae on Mars appear to have features as the ancient ruin in Melas Mensa. They also seem to have openings as well as a huge pyramidal structure is situated directly next to one of the structured anomalies.
There are also megalithic blocks/slabs surrounding the pyramidal structure and a hole nearby has a circular, disc-shaped artifact sticking out of it.
The structures discovered by Jean Ward are not only strong evidence that Mars was once inhabited by intelligent civilizations but it shows us also that all the structures/ruins appear scattered due to some catastrophe/disaster that hit the region in the past, possible caused by an interplanetary nuclear war which took place on Mars and wiped out any civilization on the planet.

Multiple UFOs emerging from The Dark Side of the Moon
Multiple UFOs emerging from The Dark Side of the Moon
Multiple UFOs emerging from the dark side of the moon on which they then cross the moon.
The footage also shows that the UFOs flying extremely close to the moon casting convincing shadows on the lunar surface before they disappear into space again.
It is unclear whether these unidentified flying objects were en route or ascended from a base on the dark side of the moon.
The UFO footage captured by sky-watcher Herfordshire Alootment Life on July 12, 2020 starts at about the 1 minute mark.
Other videos about the dark side of the moon, selected and posted by pater2011
Saw a round object in the sky. Appeared to be reflecting light. We were camping in Unicoi County, TN and saw a round light in the sky. It seemed to be hovering in place as clouds moved below the object. Took pictures with phone and then with 300mm digital camera. When zooming in there appears to be a chevron in the middle of a circle with a glowing edge.
